About AquaGrow® Advantage
 Excellent DHA enrichment for rotifers and Artemia

AquaGrow® Advantage is a spray dried, DHA enrichment product. It contains intact cells of the heterotrophically grown alga Crypthecodinium, a natural aquatic food source. The alga is cultivated in a GMP-regulated facility to insure quality, consistency and safety.

  • Contains 10% DHA by weight
  • Stays suspended in water column and does not cause foaming or leaching
  • Ingested readily by both rotifers and Artemia nauplii
  • Produces ideal DHA:EPA ratio in zooplankton for improved larval growth and development
  • Suitable for use in aquatic diets
