Dainichi Reef Veggie Fx 250g Baby (1mm) Sinking Pellets

Description

Dainichi Reef Veggie Fx 250g Baby (1mm) Sinking Pellets — Standard-size herbivore pellet for small grazing reef fish

A reef tank stocked with blennies, small gobies and juvenile tangs needs a steady supply of a plant-forward food, not just a trial pack that runs out before the fish are settled onto it. Dainichi Reef Veggie Fx 250g Baby (1mm) Sinking Pellets (SKU: 101508) is the 250 g standard-size pack of Dainichi’s marine herbivore pellet in the 1 mm Baby sinking grade, the same formula as the 100 g trial size but sized for a tank that has already taken to it. Kelp and a blend of marine and vegetable proteins form the base, with freeze-dried copepods and dehydrated plankton adding animal protein and a two-spirulina blend plus Haematococcus algae carrying the natural colour.

The 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%, built around digestible plant matter rather than raw protein. Wheat flour and wheat germ bind the pellet and add vitamins, montmorillonite clay and gum acacia support gut health, and beta glucan is included for immune support. Dainichi’s directions are to feed one to three times daily, only what the fish clear within a few minutes, favouring smaller and more frequent feedings over one large one. The 1 mm Baby grade sinks gently and is picked at by grazers on rockwork, and a 250 g pack comfortably covers daily feeding across several weeks depending on stocking.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Established small-fish tanks: A standard-size restock for tanks already feeding the formula.
• Juvenile tangs and gobies: Small-mouthed grazers that need the 1 mm grade rather than the larger Small size.
• Algae-light systems: Supplements grazing where live algae on the rock is not sufficient.

Feeding Guide

• One to three feeds daily: Offer only what is cleared within a few minutes.
• Keep feeds small: Frequent light feeding suits grazing fish better than one large one.
• Target the rockwork: Let the Baby grade settle where grazers naturally feed.
• Reseal after feeding: Keep the bag dry between feeds to protect the vitamin content.
