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. 

This species survives happily in aquarium quality water. It can tolerate temperatures as low as 0°C and high as 35°C but prefers temperatures ranging from 20-30°C, pH is not important. 

This Freshwater Amphipods pack includes 15+ adult and sub-adult amphipods.
