The phytoplankton arrived fresh and active. My shrimp have been feeding on it for two weeks and seem healthier than before. Easy to use and a great addition to my shrimp tank.

I’ve tried several live food options, but this one is the most consistent. The algae floats naturally and my Daphnia are thriving. Packaging was secure and the delivery was fast.

The culture is active upon arrival and works well for feeding small invertebrates. I wish the instructions were more detailed, but overall it’s a reliable product.
