DR. BASSLEER BIOFISH FOOD MATRINE contains the valuable alkaloids matrine and oxymatrine from the plant Sophora flavescens (Chinese: “Ku Shen”). DR. BASSLEER BIOFISH FOOD MATRINE is a valuable component of the BASSLEER-ANTI-ICH-METHOD. It acts as a repellent and ensures that parasites such as Ichthyophthirius or Cryptocarion will fall off from the fish and then floating freely in the aquarium can be better detected by a medicinal treatment. DR. BASSLEER BIOFISH FOOD MATRINE is offered in the different granulate sizes M, L and XL . The granulates in smaller pellet size M sink slowly, thus providing nutrients to all three water zones. This gives surface feeders, fish in the middle zone as well as bottom feeders alike a fresh and balanced diet.

The Benefits of Dr Bassleer’s Biofish Food 

Being rich in macro- and micronutrients, a little goes a long way.

This makes Dr. Bassleer far more economical compared to other leading or more readily available brands. Each variety of Dr Bassleer’s Biofish Food contains the additive pediococcus acidilactici, a probiotic ‘good bacteria’ proven to aid fish gut health.

The following varieties have additives that make them suitable for treating particular diseases, conditions and parasites. We use these treatments on our stock of tropical fish for sale, as part of our pledge to only sell happy and healthy fish.

 

 

Matrine  

Infused with skin-boosting alkaloids, making it suitable for the treatment of white spot disease, velvet disease, ich and general turbidity of the skin.  

Herbal
