Gamma Foods
Manufactured by Tropical Marine Center
Why feed Gamma Foods? - With so many different types of fish food available these days including flakes, pellets, freeze dried and live foods, it can be confusing to know what to feed for the best.
As dry foods are man made, they are inanimate and provide no stimulus for the fish to feed. This means that many fish do not adapt to this way of feeding and there is a risk they may not obtain all their dietary requirements from this type of food.
Live foods, on the other hand, are found in the fishes' natural environment and are therefore readily recognized and accepted by all fish.
However, by feeding live foods, there is a serious risk of introducing parasites or pathogens into the aquarium. Gamma Frozen Food is a risk free alternative to live foods.
High Quality : Produced from only the highest quality ingredients, fish will readily identify and respond to Gamma Food and will eat it with all the vigour normally associated with live food.
Totally Natural: Gamma is made from 100% natural products and the wide variety available ensures that individual species of fish receive a balanced, varied and interesting diet.
100% Safe: All varieties are rapidly packed, sealed and rapidly frozen to maintain product quality. They are then gamma ray irradiated to kill any pathogens present. This completely eliminates any risk of introducing harmful parasites or bacteria into your aquarium, and also means that the food is completely safe to store in a domestic freezer.
Frozen foods which have not been irradiated carry all the risks associated with live foods.
Pollution Free: There has been a great deal of concern about brineshrimp recently, as many are sourced from waters in Eastern Europe and Asia which can potentially contain high levels of heavy metals and organic pollutants.
Gamma Brineshrimp is harvested from clean, arctic waters which have been certified as pollution free, and are rich in algae, giving the shrimps high levels of beneficial carotene and a natural colour.
Used by TMC: A testament to the quality of Gamma Frozen Food is that it is the only food used by Tropical Marine Centre, Europe's leading supplier of marine livestock to the trade, and a successful breeder of several marine species including Gobies, Clownfishes, Seahorses and Pipefishes.
Choice of packs available:
Gamma Frozen Foods are available in either flat packs small packs or bulk packs.
With the flat pack, it is possible to break off just enough for each feed thereby providing an accurately measured amount of food. Alternatively the product can be dipped into the aquarium, feeding only what is required and reducing wastage, leaving the rest of the pack frozen and fresh. This method brings fish to the point of feeding, which makes it possible to check on their general health and condition.
Bulk Flat Packs: The following varieties are available in 500g bulk packs: Bloodworm, Mysis, Lancefish, Brineshrimp, Gamma Fish, Cockle in Shell, Plankton, Krill, Gamma Shrimp and Whole Shrimp.
