Easy reefs Freshtick Omnivorous Fish Food, 42g

Complete Freshwater Omnivore Fish Food Made From Microalgae and Whole Shrimp

Easy Reefs Freshtick Omnivorous Fish Food is a complete food made for ornamental freshwater omnivorous fish. Easy Reefs designed it with overall fish well-being in mind, from nutrition and immune development to breeding health, natural behaviors, and less stress. You can portion and shape the food to fit different fish and tank setups.

Freshtick is made only from microalgae and whole freeze-dried shrimp. It has no terrestrial components, artificial attractants, preservatives, or synthetic products, and no fish skeletons. It is rich in ATP, the "energy molecule" that fish naturally seek, plus omega fatty acids, beta-glucans, carotenoids, and astaxanthin.

Key Features:

• Complete nutrition with no extra supplements needed
• Made only from microalgae and whole freeze-dried shrimp
• Free from terrestrial components, artificial attractants, preservatives, and synthetic products
• No fish skeletons, for lower phosphate relative to protein
• Rich in ATP, the "energy molecule" that fish naturally seek
• Complete aminogram with DHA, EPA, and ARA fatty acids, beta-glucans, vitamins, carotenoids, and astaxanthin
• Easy to portion and shape for different fish and tanks
• Promotes natural grazing and foraging, and is palatable even for hard-to-feed species

Ideal For:

• Community freshwater tanks with several species that have different feeding habits
• Difficult-to-feed ornamental freshwater fish
• Breeding setups where optimal nutrition matters

What Makes Freshtick Unique:

• Holistic Nutrition Approach: Designed to address not just nutritional needs, but also immune development, reproductive capacity, natural behavior, and stress reduction.
• Natural ATP Attraction: Shrimp contains ATP that fish detect through specialized receptors, triggering immediate feeding responses even in picky eaters.
• Flexible Storage: Mix what you need and store the rest refrigerated or frozen, maintaining full nutritional properties for weeks.
• Stress Reduction: By placing food in multiple locations, fish feed naturally without competition, reducing aggression and enhancing well-being.

Pro Tips:

• Start with a 1:1 water-to-powder ratio for easier mixing. Experienced users can reduce water for a firmer paste that sticks better in high-flow areas.
• For community tanks with multiple species, place Freshtick in several locations - some low for bottom feeders, some mid-level for others. This reduces competition and stress.
• Mix a larger batch and freeze in ice cube trays. Pop out one cube as needed for convenient daily feeding.
• Use reverse osmosis or dechlorinated water only. Tap water chemicals can affect the paste consistency and nutritional value.
• For picky eaters or new fish, start with small amounts placed in quiet areas of the tank where they feel safe feeding.
