Spirulina Forte Flakes 100g

Premium flakes with a minimum of 30% Spirulina platensis algae - a nutrient-dense supplement for isopods, millipedes, and cockroaches.

Spirulina is a popular supplement for invert colonies. It is rich in protein and carries vitamins and minerals of its own. These flakes deliver it in an easy-to-use format with an impressive 47% crude protein content.

Why Spirulina Flakes?

• Minimum 30% Spirulina platensis - a blue-green algae rich in vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids
• 47% crude protein - a protein top-up for colonies fed mainly on leaf litter
• 4% crude fat and 3% crude fibre - a lean, protein-led flake
• Contains vitamins A, D3, E, and C
• Also contains cereals, fish and crustacean by-products, vegetables, yeasts, and oils for a well-rounded nutritional profile
• Flake format is easy to crumble and scatter - softens quickly when misted

How to Use

Crumble a small pinch of flakes into your enclosure and give them a light mist. The flakes will soften and your inverts will readily feed on them. Remove any uneaten food after a couple of days. Works brilliantly alongside other foods like leaf litter, pond sticks, vegetables, and protein sources for a varied diet.

Our guide to feeding isopods spirulina explains what it does and does not do, colour included, and how small a pinch each week needs to be.

Ideal for isopods, millipedes, and cockroaches - spirulina is particularly valued as a protein and mineral top-up. Browse our full accessories collection for the other components of a varied invert diet.

For Fish

Spirulina flakes are a standard food for plant-eating aquarium fish and for goldfish, fed alongside a general flake rather than instead of one. A pinch they finish in a couple of minutes is plenty. Foods for other fish, turtles and reptiles are collected on foods for reptiles, turtles and fish.

Size

100g of flakes. Spirulina is best offered sparingly, and a weekly pinch across a shelf of tubs makes very little impression on a pot this size.
