📌 What is Azolla?

A fast-growing aquatic fern, free-floating, rich in protein (20–30% crude protein), amino acids, vitamins (A, B12, beta-carotene), and minerals.

It fixes nitrogen via symbiosis with Anabaena, making it useful not only as feed but also for improving water quality.

📌 Who Can Eat Azolla?

Herbivorous fish (e.g., tilapia, grass carp) readily consume Azolla raw or fresh.

Omnivorous fish (e.g., catfish, Clarias gariepinus) can consume Azolla when processed (sun-dried, powdered, or included in feed pellets).

Even carnivorous fish can benefit indirectly when Azolla is mixed with formulated feeds as a protein supplement.

We noticed some common mistakes in fish farming that IFA would like to address today:

The success of fish farming is getting viable seed, (Fingerling,Juveniles) good feed/feeding ratio and water water quality management. These are the magic formula not SUPER GROW.
Super Grow is more beneficial when use to fertilize the pond in order to enrich the growth of phytoplankton (Microscopic plants) that releases high amount of Dissolve Oxygen (DO) in water.
