Dr. Bassleer BioFish Food Lapacho – Lapacho-Bark Granules for Natural Defense

A rainforest remedy, in your fish's daily diet.

Keepers are always looking for natural ways to keep fish resilient without reaching for harsh chemicals.

Dr. Bassleer BioFish Food Lapacho contains 2% bark extract of the lapacho tree (Tabebuia impetiginosa) — long known in South America and valued for its antibacterial properties — coated onto German-made functional granules with no artificial colors or fillers.

Dr. Bassleer Lapacho is functional health food, not ordinary fish food — developed by renowned fish-health expert Dr. Gerald Bassleer, who has spent 40+ years in fish health, and made in Germany by Aquarium Münster. The functional additives (probiotics, prebiotics and plant-based phytobiotics) are coated on after production at low temperature so the beneficial compounds are preserved, and there are no artificial colors or fillers. The guiding idea is simple: good nutrition is a fish's first line of defense against disease.

1. Feed 1–2 times a day, only what's eaten in a few minutes.
2. Rotate it in to support natural defenses.
3. Keep water clean alongside feeding.

Add a natural line of defense. Add to cart.

Why Dr. Bassleer Lapacho

• Lapacho bark extract: 2% bark extract of the lapacho tree (Tabebuia impetiginosa), long known in South America and valued for its antibacterial properties, coated onto the granule alongside chlorella and garlic to support natural defenses.
• Functional additives: probiotics, prebiotics and plant-based phytobiotics are coated on at low temperature after production, so the beneficial compounds stay intact rather than being cooked away.
• German-made quality: produced in Germany by Aquarium Münster with no artificial colors and no fillers — just functional nutrition.
• Easily digestible, clean water: the granules are easily digestible and low-waste, so they don't cloud your aquarium.

Best For

Tropical and cold-water aquarium fish when you want to support natural, antibacterial defenses without reaching for harsh chemicals. Use Lapacho in those situations and rotate it into a varied Dr. Bassleer diet alongside your daily staple rather than feeding it alone; keep the water clean at the same time.

Feeding

Feed once or twice daily, offering only what the fish eat within a few minutes, and remove any uneaten food. Choose the granule size (M/L/XL/XXL) to match the mouths of your fish so every one can take it comfortably.

FAQ

Which granule size should I choose? Match the granule (M/L/XL/XXL) to your fish — smaller granules for small-mouthed community fish, larger for bigger cichlids and similar. The guaranteed analysis shown reflects the M granule and varies slightly by size and batch.

Will it cloud my water? No. The granules are easily digestible and low-waste, so they don't pollute or cloud the aquarium when you feed only what's eaten and remove the rest.

How often should I use it? Use Lapacho when you want to support natural defenses, rotating it into your feeding alongside good water quality. It works best as part of a varied Dr. Bassleer diet alongside your daily staple, not as a sole food.
