There is nothing quite like live food for bringing fish to life. The movement triggers natural hunting behaviour, the nutrition is excellent, and it is one of the best ways to condition fish for breeding or bring a fussy eater back to the table. We ship live food Australia-wide.
Why Feed Live Food
Live foods are about as natural as it gets. Fish respond to the movement instinctively, even ones that ignore prepared food, and the nutritional value is hard to beat. Many breeders swear by live food for conditioning fish into spawning condition, because it mimics the rich diet fish get in the wild. It is also genuinely entertaining to watch a tank switch into hunting mode.
Feeding and Variety
Live food works best as part of a varied diet rather than the only thing on the menu. Used a few times a week alongside quality staples, it keeps fish in excellent condition and feeding enthusiastically. It is a favourite tool for getting fish ready to breed.
Common Questions

Will live food help my fish breed? Often, yes. Many keepers use live food to bring fish into spawning condition, mimicking their natural diet.
