Some of our fosterlings feed on freshwater sponges, particularly the genus Pseudacanthicus and the L46 Hypancistrus zebra . The L46 in particular is regularly found eating freshwater sponges in its natural habitat and incorporates them into its diet. This diet inspires the fish food EBO Sponge Professional Softgran.

The active ingredients and minerals contained in the sponge have a detoxifying effect and help to remove harmful substances from the body. Antimicrobial peptides contained are being tested in naturopathy as antibiotic replacements.

This positive effect, coupled with our proven soft granulate base, represents a sensible addition to our animals' diet.

Feeding instructions: Feed in small portions daily.
