Frozen food is an easy and convenient way to provide your tropical fish with a nutritious dietary supplement. Most frozen foods available mimic what marine and tropical fish would eat in their natural environment, making them an ideal choice for pet fish keepers.
Different tropical fish species require their food in various forms. Middle and bottom-dwelling species usually prefer quickly sinking food or compressed ‘tablets’, while nocturnal creatures like some catfish must be fed last thing at night.

1. Hikari Bio-Pure Rotifers
Hikari Bio-Pure Rotifers are an elite food source for saltwater tropical fish. Packed full of microalgae, they promote nutrient cycling and clearer water while increasing zooplankton production. Plus, these bio-encapsulated Rotifers also contain DHA & EPA along with multivitamins to provide excellent nutrition to corals, filter feeders, and fry.
These 1.75 ounce cubes come in no-touch mini cubes to make handling this food a breeze. Perfect for finicky fish with small mouths, juveniles and fry alike, these cubes make handling this food much simpler!
Hikari’s 3-step sterilization process guarantees unsurpassed product quality, free from harmful parasites, bacteria and foul odors. This makes Hikari one of the cleanest frozen foods on the market today.
These frozen cubes are designed to promote a balanced ecosystem in saltwater aquariums. They contain rotifers, an almost microscopic freshwater animal between 0.1 and 0.5 millimeters in size that provides beneficial zooplankton for most reef inhabitants and makes a great starter food for newborn fish as well.
2. Ocean Nutrition Formula Two
Ocean Nutrition Formula Two is a soft and moist pellet packed in nitrogen flushed foil bags for maximum freshness. This algae-boosted formula includes key ingredients like garlic for improved disease resistance, Spirulina for increased energy, and kelp for extra nutrition.
These algae-enriched pellets have been designed as a staple diet, and will please most tropical fish species. Available in small (+/- 1.2mm) and medium (+/- 3.1mm) pellet sizes, you’re sure to impress your aquatic friends with these tasty treats!
These sleek pellets boast high levels of refined quality marine proteins. Furthermore, they use nitrogen flushing, an oxidation-controlling process which keeps oxygen out of the pouch for maximum freshness. Fish should be fed one to three times per day and not more than what they will eat within minutes. You can find these at most local fish stores or aquarium supply shops; small and large pellets can be combined with other food types to create a more complete diet.
3. Omega One Bloodworms
If you want to increase the variety of food your fish eat, frozen foods are an ideal solution. They keep fish’s appetite healthy and provide them with different types of foods they wouldn’t find in their natural habitat.
One of the most popular frozen foods for tropical fish is bloodworms. Not only do they provide protein, but they make for a great addition to any fish’s diet.
Fish meal pellets are a popular choice amongst fish hobbyists and can be added to standard fish flakes or pellets as an extra food source. Not only do they contain high amounts of protein, but they also improve color saturation – giving your fish a nutritious snack from time to time!
Freeze dried bloodworms are an ideal substitute for live worms due to their less mess, longer shelf life and ease of feeding. Unfortunately, they lose much of their nutritional value, so you should still include them in your regular fish flakes and pellets diet as part of a balanced diet.
4. Hikari Brine Shrimp
Hikari Brine Shrimp are pellet-sized food pellets suitable for a wide variety of freshwater and saltwater tropical fish. They’re an excellent way to introduce new or finicky fish into eating frozen foods, or they can be combined with other foods to provide your pets with a more varied diet.
Hikari Freeze Dried Brine Shrimp Cubes contain a high percentage of nutritious algae to promote exceptional health and color in your fish. Plus, they’re infused with bio-encapsulated multi-vitamins for added support of immune systems and general wellbeing.
They have been specially freeze dried to retain the nutritional content and flavor of live brine shrimp, so that when added to water they soften quickly and become easy for fish to digest.
They contain spirulina and other beneficial natural algae to provide your tropical fish with an incredibly nutrient-rich treat. Spirulina-enriched tropical fish food can be fed to all types of freshwater or saltwater tropical species alike; simply feed only what your fish will eat within one minute multiple times throughout the day.
