Scuds, also known as Amphipods, are small invertebrates that have made their way into practically every aquatic environment there is. From the ocean to freshwater ponds, lakes, streams, caves, you name it! These little detritivores play a major role in the breakdown of dead organic material, especially plant detritus and leaf litter. By consuming this material, the scud frees up the locked away nutrients in the decaying plant which then become more accessible to other organisms in the food web.

Not only do scuds do a great job at eating leftover fish food and hair algae, but like many small aquatic invertebrates they are a highly nutritious live food! Scuds can easily be cultured in a variety of separate containers to provide an endless live food source for many small to medium sized fish.
