Description
Live Tubifex as Aquatic Food
Our live Tubifex are part of the main livefood diet of many aquatic animal diets.
They are easy to catch and highly nutritious. River shrimp are a great staple food for your aquatic animals. They are dispatched directly from the breeder and will be pre-fed before packing to make sure that they are as nutritious as possible on arrival.
In the store, we use the Tubifex as food for our Axolotls, Turtles, Fish, and Aquatic Turtles
You'll love them because:
- We guarantee freshness or your money back.
- They are farm-bred in ethical conditions.
- They are pre-fed to ensure your pet is getting a healthy and nutritious meal.
- Delivered straight to your door in good time.
Packaging
The Tubifex arrive in a sealed plastic bag with 100ml of water to keep them safe.
In warmer months, the outer cardboard box may have extra perforations for cooling. In colder months, we may include a plain white heat pack to help maintain a suitable temperature during transit.
Feeding Guide
These items can be kept in the fridge for 5-7 days while still in the sealed packet. Once opened, use immediately.
- Use a sieve to separate the live food from the water.
- Remove any uneaten food daily to keep the enclosure clean and prevent decay.
Live Tubifex make for excellent food and are far more beneficial, helping support your aquatic creatures' health and digestion. If you’re looking for other types of reptile or aquatic food, we also stock frozen, animal-specific, vegetation, and supplement options.
Animal Suitability
We recommend Daphnia for the following animal types:
- Axolotl's
- Large fish
- Turtles
- Aquatic Frogs
Care Instructions
Keep live Tubifex at chilled temperatures, away from direct sunlight or draughts.
Looking after your live food properly helps ensure your aquatic pet gets the best nutrition possible.
Livefood Freshness Guarantee
We know how important it is to have fresh, reliable live food delivered on time. That’s why we ship live food five days a week using fast, trusted couriers. Most orders are packed on the same day they're dispatched and sent straight from the breeder, so they arrive in the best condition possible.
However, delivery can take a day or two, and sometimes things don’t go perfectly in transit. For your peace of mind, we have implemented the Livefood Freshness Guarantee! If your livefood doesn’t arrive in the best condition, or there is an issue with the size or quality, get in touch with our team and we’ll resolve it for you.
