Dainichi Reef Veggie Fx 100g Baby (1mm) Sinking Pellets

Description

Dainichi Reef Veggie Fx 100g Baby (1mm) Sinking Pellets — Marine herbivore pellet sized for small grazers and juveniles

A young tang or a grazing blenny with a small mouth cannot work through a pellet built for an adult surgeonfish, and a plant-based diet that is the wrong size often gets ignored in favour of algae on the rock instead. Dainichi Reef Veggie Fx 100g Baby (1mm) Sinking Pellets (SKU: 101506) is the 100 g trial pack of Dainichi’s marine herbivore formula in the 1 mm Baby sinking grade, built from kelp, fish meal and a blend of marine and vegetable proteins rather than a flake-style herbivore mix. Freeze-dried copepods and dehydrated plankton add animal protein, and natural astaxanthin from Haematococcus algae plus a two-spirulina blend carry the colour. At 100 g it suits trying the formula on one small reef tank before buying in bulk.

Dainichi’s guaranteed analysis is crude protein minimum 39%, crude fat minimum 5%, crude fibre maximum 4%, moisture maximum 9%, ash maximum 12%, calcium minimum 2% and phosphorus minimum 0.7%, a profile built around digestible plant matter rather than raw protein alone. Wheat flour and wheat germ act as binders and a vitamin source, montmorillonite clay and gum acacia aid texture and gut health, and beta glucan supports immunity. Directions are to feed only what is consumed within a few minutes, one to three times daily, with smaller and more frequent feedings preferred over a single large one. The 1 mm Baby grade sinks slowly enough for grazers on rockwork, and suits juveniles and small-mouthed herbivores specifically.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Juvenile tangs and surgeonfish: Sized for fish not yet grown into an adult diet.
• Small grazing fish: Blennies and gobies that pick at algae rather than take large bites.
• New reef tanks: A 100 g pack to confirm fish will take to the formula.

Feeding Guide

• One to three feeds daily: Offer only what clears within a few minutes.
• Small amounts over one large feed: Frequent light feeding suits grazing herbivores.
• Let it sink to the rock: The Baby grade settles where grazers naturally feed.
• Watch intake on small fish: Confirm the 1 mm grade is actually being eaten, not ignored.
