High-Fat Formula to Condition Spawning Fish
Prepare your fish for successful breeding with Rod's Food Breeder Blend. Specially formulated for the dedicated aquarist and breeder, this blend takes the proven success of Rod's Original Blend and amplifies the fat and omega content. It provides the calorie-dense nutrition necessary to condition broodstock, ensuring they have the energy reserves to produce large, viable nests and healthy offspring.
While Rod's "Original Blend" is fantastic for enticing spawning behavior due to its diversity, the Breeder Blend is the fuel that powers the process. It is packed with high-quality marine proteins and essential fatty acids designed to improve egg quality, quantity, and larval survival rates.
