Moina – Live Fish Feed (Zooplankton Culture)

Moina is a freshwater zooplankton commonly used as a live feed for fish hatcheries, aquariums, and larval-stage edible fish. Rich in protein, amino acids, and essential lipids, Moina is a natural and effective food source for fry and fingerlings. It plays a critical role in the early-stage development of species like Tilapia, Rohu, Catla, Murrel, Betta, and other ornamental and edible fish.

At Shazam Farms, we supply live Moina cultures grown in clean, nutrient-controlled systems without chemical additives. Our Moina is harvested fresh, sorted for size, and delivered in oxygen-packed containers to ensure survival during transit. It is a reliable, sustainable alternative to artificial starter feeds.
