In the wilds of the natural coral reef, plankton are a rich source of food for clams, sponges, soft corals, and zooplankton, such as copepods. However, plankton are usually missing from home aquariums. If you offer plankton as food for aquarium fish, you can provide a great natural food source for filter-feeding invertebrates and fish. Plankton is essential to the aquatic food chain. They use a combination of the nutrients in the water and carbon dioxide to reproduce. While doing so, they make essential fatty acids, which are needed for the health and growth of most marine creatures. Filter-feeders and zooplankton consume the plankton and then share these fatty acids with fish and other predators.
