BASSLEER BIOFISH FOOD LAPACHO is an exceptional granulated food fortified with 2 percent Tabebuia impetiginosa (Lapacho) bark extract (also known as the tree of life). This feed is not just meant to provide balanced daily nutrition; it is also designed to help keep fish healthy during stressful situations, prevent disease, and support recovery. It applies to freshwater and sea ornamental fish.
Lapacho – tropical live fish food, feed is a combination of nutrients, trace minerals, and natural bioactive compounds derived from Lapacho bark. It is recommended for aquarists seeking more than feeding, including preventive care and enhanced resilience.
1. Lapacho Bark Extract: Rich in Bioactive Compounds and Trace Minerals. The 2% Lapacho bark extract contains naphthoquinone derivatives, benzofurans, and a wide range of mineral salts and trace elements, including calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, chromium, silicon, manganese, molybdenum, copper, potassium, sodium, cobalt, boron, etc.
2. Dietary Support During Treatment: Lapacho feed is also commonly suggested as nutritional assistance during parasite therapy (e.g., Spironucleus / once known as Hexamita), Hole-in-the-Head Syndrome (HITH / HLLS), or when fish are generally in poor health – to help build strength, maintain immunity, and aid in recovery.
3. Complete Balanced Nutrition: The feed still has the basic nutritional formula, which is fish and crustacean derivatives, vegetable feed, vitamins, trace elements, and probiotics (including good bacteria to keep the gut healthy).
4. Applicable to a Great Deal of Species and Tank Combinations: Lapacho feed is suitable for freshwater and marine aquarium systems and can be used with a wide range of ornamental fish species.
5. Light Process Production and Water-Friendly: Like other DR. BASSLEER BIOFISH FOOD LAPACHO granules are produced using a light process that preserves nutrients and makes them easily digestible, reducing food waste and keeping water cleaner.
1. As part of disease treatment or recovery: HITH/HLLS, particularly in fish with protozoan infections (e.g., Spironucleus), and external stress (transport, changes in water parameters). Lapacho feed enhances internal healing and increases resistance.
2. A preventive measure, such as superperiodic feeding, can help maintain a healthy immune system and overall fitness and is particularly beneficial for populations at risk of stress (e.g., pond fish, crowded tanks, reared fish).
3. In aquariums with multiple species: Due to its excellent versatility, Lapacho feed can be used in community tanks, providing a balanced diet and overall well-being for all species.
4. To last long, stay healthy, keep growing: When you need to ensure fish not only grow but also remain healthy, strong, and vibrant in the long term.
Choose the size of pellet depending on fish size (M, L, XL, XXL, etc.). Feed once or twice daily, but no more than the fish can eat within several minutes. Overfeeding can lead to waste buildup and reduced water quality. Since Lapacho feed is easy to digest and nutrient-dense, even smaller portions are sufficient, making it cost-effective over the long term.
BASSLEER BIOFISH FOOD LAPACHO is not only a nutrient-dense daily food but also a convenient, health-promoting diet for ornamental fish. This feed is ideal due to its bioactive Lapacho bark compounds and trace minerals, balanced nutrition, and probiotic support, which help prevent disease, support recovery, and maintain long-term vitality. Lapacho feed is an intelligent, efficient, and natural dietary choice for aquarists interested in the long-term health and viability of their fish.
The Lapacho bark extract brings on potent bioactive compounds – naphthoquinones and benzofurans, as well as a wide range of trace minerals. Some of these compounds have a long-standing reputation for antimicrobial, antiparasitic, and health-promoting activity (Lapacho is traditionally used in human medicine). In aquarium fish, this translates to an increased immune support, greater strength during disease, and a supportive diet during recovery.
In addition, the trace minerals and salts serve to sustain physiological balance – calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium – which is significant in osmoregulation, bone/scale health, and other metabolic processes in general. Lapacho feed is a complete dietary solution that combines probiotics with essential nutrients.
