PRODUCT Details

Artemia Paste is an Artemia‑based fine paste developed as an optimal rearing food for almost all aquarium fish, especially juveniles and sensitive species. When placed in the tank or rearing box, the paste slowly forms a thin food film on the bottom, allowing fry and small fish to graze naturally throughout the day.
With its slightly elevated protein content, Artemia Paste supports strong growth and healthy development in young fish and demanding species.

How Artemia Paste Works

The paste is rolled into a small ball (around 5–10 mm) and placed directly into the rearing box or aquarium. As it breaks down, it creates a fine food film across the bottom surface. This makes it easy for tiny fish to feed, mimicking the way they would naturally graze on micro‑foods in the wild.
This feeding method has proven especially effective for:
  • Aspidoras
  • Corydoras
  • Panaqolus
  • Loricaria
  • Many other catfish and bottom‑dwelling species

Variations & Sizes

Artemia Paste is available in multiple pack sizes 125g & 325g, so you can choose the right amount for your setup:
  • A smaller pack – ideal for hobbyists, nano setups and small breeding projects
  • A larger pack – perfect for breeders, fish rooms and anyone feeding multiple tanks

Feeding & Use Tips

Because Artemia Paste is rich in protein and highly palatable, it should be used carefully:
  • Form a 5–10 mm ball and place it in the tank or rearing box
  • Allow fry and small fish to graze on the resulting food film
  • Feed daily in small portions to avoid overfeeding
  • Be aware that excessive feeding, despite the good tolerance and quality fats, can lead to fatty degeneration in fish
Used correctly, Artemia Paste is a powerful tool for raising healthy, well‑developed juveniles and supporting difficult or delicate species.
