Sera Micron Powder 50ml

Sera Micron Powder 50ml

Sera Micron Powder 50ml is a finely powdered rearing food for fish fry and amphibian larvae, rich in zooplankton and phytoplankton to support healthy growth from the very first feeds. It suits South African hobbyists and breeders raising young fish in freshwater or marine setups, and it can also be fed to Artemia nauplii. The formula contains no dyes or preservatives and is designed not to cloud the water.

Key Benefits

• Plankton-rich formula: Combines zooplankton in the form of krill (18%) with phytoplankton in the form of spirulina (51%), giving young animals a diet that mirrors what they would find in the wild.
• Floats like natural plankton: The tiny particles stay suspended in the water, so the food closely resembles the natural plankton fry and larvae instinctively hunt.
• Supports healthy development: Supports healthy growth, the immune system, strong development and good colouration in juvenile fish.
• Excellent digestibility: Because it is so easily digested, the water is not unnecessarily polluted and the food does not cloud the water.
• No dyes or preservatives: Like all Sera aquarium foods, Micron Powder belongs to the Sera "Nature" range and is made without dyes or preservatives.
• Complete feed: Classed as a complete feed for all ornamental fish, so it can meet the daily nutritional needs of young fish.

Why Fry Need a Dedicated Rearing Food

Juvenile fish have special nutritional requirements. A high protein content and high-quality fat help support healthy, strong growth during this critical stage. The physical form of the food matters just as much: it has to match the feeding habits of the animals. A floating powder made of minute particles is easy for the smallest mouths to take, which is why Sera Micron Powder is such a practical first food for newly hatched fry and amphibian larvae.

Part of the Sera Fry Food Range

Sera produces its fry foods as micro flakes, micro soft granules and powdered food. As complete foods, all of them are formulated to meet the daily nutritional requirements of juvenile fish, so you can choose the format that best suits the size and feeding behaviour of your young animals. Sera also offers a Starter Mix for live rearing food, which can be used to breed very small Artemia nauplii. Live food is an ideal supplement to dry food and supports the animals' natural feeding behaviour, making the two a useful combination when raising a batch of fry.

How to Use

• Feed several times daily.
• Offer only as much as the animals take up within a short time.
• Avoid overfeeding, as uneaten food in a fry tank adds unnecessary load to the water.

Suitable For

• Fish fry
• Amphibian larvae
• Artemia nauplii
• Young ornamental fish needing a complete rearing diet

Compatibility

Sera Micron Powder is suitable for use in both freshwater and marine water, so it works for breeders keeping either type of system. It can be fed on its own as a complete feed or alongside live Artemia nauplii raised with the Sera Starter Mix.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Sera Micron Powder be used in a marine fry tank?
Yes. Sera states it is suitable for fry, amphibian larvae and Artemia nauplii in both fresh and marine water.

How often should I feed it to my fry?
Feed several times a day, giving only as much as the young fish take up within a short time. Small, frequent portions suit fry and help keep the water clean.

Will the powder cloud the water in my breeding tank?
It is highly digestible and is designed not to cloud the water, so the water is not unnecessarily polluted. Overfeeding can still affect water quality, so stick to small portions.

What makes it similar to natural plankton?
It contains zooplankton (18% krill) and phytoplankton (51% spirulina) in tiny particles that float in the water, closely resembling the natural plankton young fish feed on.

Does it contain artificial colourants or preservatives?
No. It is part of Sera's "Nature" range and contains no dyes or preservatives. Its natural ingredients include Haematococcus algae, paprika and carrots.

Can I combine it with live food?
Yes. Sera recommends live food, such as Artemia nauplii bred with the Sera Starter Mix, as an ideal supplement to dry food. It supports natural feeding behaviour.
