Pioneering Science-Backed Aquarium Nutrition Since 1982
The Heritage
Formulated by Marine Biologists, Driven by Nature
Founded in 1982 in San Diego, California, Ocean Nutrition was established with a single unifying purpose: to create the highest quality, most biologically appropriate diets for marine and freshwater tropical fish. Dissatisfied with terrestrial grain fillers and low-grade fish meals, the company's founding aquaculture scientists began harvesting fresh marine seafood, wild plankton, and pure micro-algae to replicate authentic wild reef food chains.
Today, with advanced research and manufacturing facilities in Belgium and the United States, Ocean Nutrition continues to lead global aquaculture nutrition. From its iconic Formula One and Formula Two staples to specialized Atison Betta diets, LPS coral feeds, and laboratory-certified Artemia cysts, every formulation is engineered to preserve vitality, intensify natural pigmentation, and maintain pristine aquarium water clarity.
The Science of Nutrition
Formulated by Aquaculture Scientists & Marine Biologists
Every Ocean Nutrition diet is crafted using fresh seafood ingredients, natural attractants, and bio-available vitamins for superior health and vibrant colour.
Fresh Marine Seafood
Whole fish, squid, salmon, krill, and plankton preserve natural marine fatty acids and amino acid profiles.
Soft Moist Pellets
Proprietary cold-extrusion processing protects heat-sensitive vitamins and delivers a palatable, moist texture.
Vivid Natural Colour
Rich in natural astaxanthin, spirulina, and carotenoids to enhance vibrant coloration without artificial dyes.
Clean Water Formula
Superior nutrient absorption and binder stability minimize waste output and will not cloud aquarium water.
Fresh Natural Ingredients
Whole seafood, fresh algae, and pure brine shrimp harvested to provide biological nutrition matching wild diets.
Immune System Support
Fortified with stabilised vitamin C, garlic, and bio-available minerals to boost disease resistance and longevity.
