FRESHWATER Scuds Culture - GAMMARUS Sp.

Freshwater Scuds (Gammarus sp.) are shrimp-like crustaceans that grow up to 1cm in length. These tiny critters are detritivores in the wild, feeding on decaying plant / animal matter for the most part. It is an easy to culture live food that is an excellent size for most tropical fish, anything from tetras, guppies and cichlids all love scuds. 

It has the advantage of surviving aquarium conditions indefinitely so that it can be fed in abundance without fear of water fouling. Hobbyists can 'seed' their tanks with scuds to provide an endless natural food supply, if given enough hiding spaces. 

Order will contain the following: 

• Gammarus Sp. culture (size options: 10-15 scuds / 30-40 scuds / 100-120 scuds)
• One month supply of scud food
• Care guide 

We don't recommend scuds for planted aquariums and shrimp tanks because they can eat aquatic plants and compete for food with shrimp.
