Pupae are a fantastic choice of aquarium food because, just like us, our aquatic friends have many nutritional requirements that they need to stay healthy. Typically, fish can do this in the wild by consuming different kinds of plants, algae, and insects throughout the day. Aquarium fish don’t have a ready supply of these kinds of food though, which is where pupae come in.

Egg (baby)
Larve (preteen)
Pupae (teen)
