Collection: Rotifers

We partnered with  Dr. Terry Snell of Georgia Tech, one of the worlds leading rotifer experts to develop protocols for growing rotifers that are robust, nutritious and available on demand. 

Quickstart Rotifer Cysts

We offer 15 varieties of rotifer cysts enabling fast, reliable restarts using rotifers that are free of contamination from other ciliates and rotifers.  Our wide selection allows rotifer hatcheries to select and amplify rotifers tailored to the mouth gape of various larval prey.

Rotifer Feeds 

Amplifeed(tm) Replete Rotifer and Artemia feed is a dry finishing feed used to enrich and "gut load" rotifers prior to harvest. We developed Amplifeed Replete to mimic the nutritional profile of zoo plankton vs. relying on a single algae species for micronutrients.   

The result is a rotifer that has more vital micronutrients including astaxanthin which accelerates the growth rates and reduces mortality of larval prey.  

Our feed is <8 microns, easy to eat helping to keep your water clean and minimizing contamination from other species consuming uneaten food. 

 "Amplified(tm) Replete is the world's best commercial prepared rotifer feed I have ever tested."  Dr. Terry Snell, Chair Emeritus, Biology Department, Georgia Institute of Technology. 

We also offer high purity starter algae cultures across a variety of marine species. 

Live Rotifers

We mass culture Brachionus manjavacus and can ship live rotifers throughout the USA in sizes up to 100M rotifers in a bag. 

Live Algae Starter Cultures

We currently have three starter cultures in stock.  All of our starter cultures are  maintained in clean, single-species cultures grown from starter stock maintained in a cleanroom and grown using aseptic techniques, ensuring that you are getting the best phytoplankton available.

Rotifer Bioreactors

We offer lab scale rotifer production systems (and replacement parts) as well as instructions and support for mass rotifer production.
