In their natural biotope, a variety of our well-known aquarium fish are specialized in feeding on the layer of algae and bacterial growth covering aquatic surfaces, and the little prey organisms which hide inside. This layer is called ‘Aufwuchs’ and is the staple diet for, among others, many African lake cichlids, Loricariid catfishes and live bearers. Veggie Favourites was developed to satisfy the nutritional need of these species. The frozen and lightly bound blend of vegetables and algae, enriched with planktonic crustaceans offers a perfect mix for fish who need their herbivorous diet complemented with a small degree of aquatic animal protein.
