Freeze dried and other preserved products are basically dead Phytoplankton. This means if they are not ingested immediately after feeding them to the aquarium they will rot away liberating organic like phosphate and nitrogen, essentially polluting your tank. Live Phytoplankton stays alive until eaten and actually cleans your water through Photosynthesis.

Benefits of LIVE Phytoplankton include:

• No worries about dead product decomposing in the tank.
• Uneaten product actually works to CLEAN aquarium water.
• Closely matches what animals would eat in the ocean.
• Great for keeping fry tanks clean and co-cultured food enriched.
