Seachem NutriDiet Chlorella Flakes w/Probiotics

Seachem NutriDiet Chlorella Flakes with Probiotics is a fortified flake food built around chlorella algae, one of the most nutrient-dense ingredients in the aquarium hobby. It's packed with vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and trace nutrients that herbivorous and omnivorous fish need to keep color, immune response, and digestion strong. The probiotic blend (a stabilized GarliShield formula) also helps fish resist parasites and improves food breakdown in the gut. Works for both freshwater and marine community fish.

Why Chlorella

• 10x the chlorophyll of spirulina, with comparable protein content and a broader vitamin profile.
• Loaded with Vitamin C (more than oranges, by weight) for immune support and bright color.
• Cell-wall-cracked processing means fish can actually absorb the nutrients rather than passing them through.
• Beta-glucans from the cell wall boost the immune response naturally.

What's Inside

• Chlorella algae base rich in chlorophyll, beta-carotene, and Vitamin C.
• GarliShield probiotic blend for gut health and parasite resistance.
• Stabilized Vitamin C bound into the flake, so it stays effective on the shelf.
• No artificial colors or preservatives.

Best For

• Freshwater community fish: tetras, rasboras, livebearers, danios, peaceful barbs, dwarf cichlids.
• Marine community fish: tangs, angels, damsels, anthias, chromis, and other reef-safe grazers.
• Herbivorous and omnivorous species that benefit from algae-based plant nutrition.
• Daily staple feeding or as a varied diet rotation alongside frozen and pellet foods.

Feeding

• Feed once or twice daily, an amount fish can fully consume in about two minutes.
• Crush larger flakes between your fingers for nano fish, fry, and small-mouth species.
• Rotate with frozen mysis, pellets, or seaweed sheets for a balanced long-term diet.
• Reseal the jar tightly after each feeding to keep the probiotics active.

FAQ

Can I feed this to both freshwater and marine fish?
Yes. The chlorella base and vitamin profile are well-tolerated across freshwater community fish, dwarf cichlids, and marine herbivores like tangs and angels.

Will it cloud the water?
Not when fed appropriately. Offer only what the fish can finish in about two minutes and scoop up any leftover flakes that drift past.

Are the probiotics actually alive on the shelf?
Yes. Seachem's GarliShield blend is stabilized so it remains active in a sealed jar. Keep the lid tight between feedings and store the jar at room temperature, away from humidity.

Is it safe with shrimp?
Yes. Neocaridina, amano, and other freshwater shrimp readily graze any flakes that settle, and the formula is copper free.

How long does a jar last?
For a 30 to 60 gallon community tank fed twice daily, expect the 15 g jar to last roughly a month and the 30 g jar about two months.
