At LOMWILD, I raise and culture live foods that bring aquariums to life. Feeding live foods isn’t just about nutrition — it’s about creating a thriving ecosystem where fish display their natural behaviors, colors, and vitality. Whether you are breeding bettas, keeping killifish, or caring for community fish, live food cultures make a remarkable difference in growth, color, and breeding success.

Why Choose Live Foods?
Live foods are rich in essential nutrients that frozen or dry foods simply can’t match. They’re full of natural enzymes and proteins that improve digestion, boost immune systems, and encourage spawning. Feeding live foods also promotes natural hunting behaviors, keeping fish active and engaged.

Popular Live Foods Available at LOMWILD

• Grindle Worms (Enchytraeus buchholzi): Excellent for daily feeding and perfect for conditioning bettas, killifish, and small cichlids.

•Daphnia: A live crustacean that improves water clarity and serves as an ideal conditioning food for community fish.

•Moina: A smaller cousin of daphnia, perfect for young fry and nano fish species.

•Baby Brine Shrimp (Artemia nauplii): A nutrient-rich staple for fry growth and color enhancement.

•Green Water (Phytoplankton): A live, single-celled algae culture that feeds moina, daphnia, and fry directly.
