Collection: Frozen & Refrigerated Food

Closest Thing to What They'd Eat Anyway

Freezing keeps the prey item whole, so fish get the shapes and textures they are built to take. That is usually what gets a newly imported or stubborn fish feeding in the first place, and it matters most for small-mouthed species that cannot manage a pellet.

What's in This Collection

• Frozen invertebrates — bloodworms in standard and jumbo grades, brine shrimp adult and baby, mysis, daphnia, krill and ocean plankton.
• Cube packs — pre-portioned blister cubes, easy to take one at a time for a single tank.
• Flat packs — larger sheets, for bigger systems or several tanks at once.
• Live refrigerated copepods — cultures for seeding a refugium or feeding finicky species.

Thaw before feeding, and leave the pack liquid behind. Thawing a portion in a cup of tank water and straining it keeps a good deal of dissolved nutrient out of the display, which adds up quickly if frozen food is your daily staple. Frozen and refrigerated items carry handling requirements — check the shipping notes on the product page, or email sales@jlaquatics.com before ordering.
