Dainichi Marine Fx 500g Baby (1mm) Sinking Pellets

Description

Dainichi Marine Fx 500g Baby (1mm) Sinking Pellets — Larger pack of fine colour pellets for small reef fish and invertebrates

A reef system with more than one tank, or a display crowded with small gobies and cleaner shrimp, gets through a fine colour pellet quicker than a single-tank keeper expects. Dainichi Marine Fx 500g Baby (1mm) Sinking Pellets (SKU: 101518) is the 500 g pack of the 1 mm Baby grade in Dainichi’s Marine Fx range, a sinking colour food for marine fish and invertebrates built on freeze-dried copepods, natural astaxanthin, spirulina and Antarctic krill. The fine pellet sinks rather than floating, settling within reach of small and bottom-dwelling species that lose out when food stays on the surface. The 500 g size suits a multi-tank system or a busy display fed more than once a day.

White fish meal, wheat flour and Antarctic krill meal lead the recipe, with pea protein, wheat germ and spirulina algae for extra protein and pigment, copepod meal and astaxanthin supplying the carotenoids behind the colour claim, and montmorillonite clay, gum acacia, garlic, calcium carbonate, protease and beta glucan completing the formula alongside a vitamin and mineral premix. Guaranteed analysis is crude protein 45% minimum, crude fat 5% minimum, crude fibre 4% maximum, moisture 9% maximum, ash 10% maximum, calcium 2% minimum and phosphorus 0.7% minimum. Dainichi’s directions are 1 to 3 feeds daily, each limited to what is eaten within a few minutes, with small, frequent feeds preferred to one large feeding. The resealable, UV-light-resistant pouch is worth keeping tightly closed between feeds, since a 500 g bag of a fine 1 mm pellet is used gradually.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Multiple small reef tanks: One pack feeding more than one system of small fish and inverts.
• Busy display tanks: Several feeds a day for a well-stocked small-fish community.
• Juvenile and small species: Clownfish, gobies, small shrimp and other fine-feeding inhabitants.
• Longer-term supply: A 500 g pack sized to avoid frequent reordering.

Feeding Guide

• 1 to 3 feeds daily: Offer only what is cleared within a few minutes each time.
• Divide across tanks: Portion the pack between systems rather than overfeeding one.
• Keep it sealed: Reseal the pouch promptly to protect the remaining pellets.
• Watch for excess: Reduce the amount if uneaten pellets build up on the substrate.
