The rotifers arrived fresh and were easy to use in my reef tank. The size is consistent and the population is strong, which helps with fry feeding. Great for maintaining healthy larvae growth.

I’ve used this product for several weeks now and the rotifers remain active and viable. The packaging keeps them fresh, and the quantity is sufficient for regular feeding.

The rotifers are well-sized and perform well in my tank. A bit of variation in size is normal, but overall they are effective for feeding small fish and invertebrates.
