Two Little Fishies
|
From Julian Sprung, one of the
world's foremost marine reef aquarium authorities, comes this incredible diet for
filter-feeding invertebrates. Two Little Fishies MarineSnowTM is a natural
planktonic food for filter feeding marine invertebrates. This first of its kind product
reproduces the special colloidal bio-genic suspended matter found in natural seawater.
These colloids, collectively called "marine snow" by ocean researchers, are
known to be an important element in the food chain of marine ecosystems. They have been a
missing element in closed system aquaria until now.
MarineSnowTM
meets the special needs of tropical coral reef and cold water marine animals that feed on
particulate and dissolved organic matter, phytoplankton and zooplankton. The formula for
MarineSnowTM is based on natural components of ocean
plankton, does not contain yeast or egg solids, and is blended to provide food packages of
the right size range for filter feeders. The formula includes suspended microscopic
particles ranging in size from under 20 microns up to 150 microns, and the colloidal
clumps formed when it mixes with seawater are macroscopic. Ideal food for soft and stony
corals, anemones, hydrozoans, feather duster worms, clams, crinoids (feather stars),
sponges, tunicates (sea squirts), foraminiferans, and other filter feeders. Shrimps,
brittle stars and even fishes will eat MarineSnowTM colloids. MarineSnowTM therefore replicates plankton
feeding behaviors for these creatures.
