Dainichi Tropic Max 100g Micro (0.9mm) Sinking Pellets

Description

Dainichi Tropic Max 100g Micro (0.9mm) Sinking Pellets — High-energy micro granule for small-mouthed tropical fish

A community tank of tetras, rasboras and small barbs needs a granule they can actually get into their mouths, and most “tropical” blends are sized for something twice their size. Dainichi Tropic Max 100g Micro (0.9mm) Sinking Pellets (SKU: 101502) is the 100 g trial pack of Dainichi’s Tropic Max formula in the 0.9 mm Micro sinking grade, built as a mix of red and green granules rather than a single uniform pellet. Dainichi positions it as a high-energy daily food for a wide range of tropical species, leaning on Antarctic krill meal and white fish meal for efficient, low-waste protein rather than a flake-style filler. The 100 g size suits a single small to medium community tank being tried on the formula before a larger pack is bought.

The recipe is rounded out with kelp, spirulina algae and pea protein, credited with supporting digestion, immune function and overall vitality, plus astaxanthin and other natural colour enhancers rather than artificial dyes. Montmorillonite clay and brewers dried yeast feature as they do across the Dainichi range, and the vitamin suite runs to A, D3, E and C along with the B-group, including B12, niacin, calcium pantothenate, riboflavin, B6 and thiamine. Dainichi’s directions are to feed one to three times daily, offering only what the fish consume within a few minutes, with smaller and more frequent feedings preferred over one large one and leftovers removed. The 0.9 mm Micro grade and sinking format work for both surface and bottom feeders in a mixed community.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Small-mouthed community fish: Tetras, rasboras, small barbs and similar species the Micro grade is sized for.
• Trial purchases: A 100 g pack sized to test the formula before a bulk size.
• Daily staple feeding: A high-energy food for everyday use rather than an occasional treat.

Feeding Guide

• One to three feeds daily: Offer only what clears within a few minutes.
• Favour small amounts: Frequent light feedings are said to be safer than one large feed.
• Remove leftovers: Take out uneaten pellets to maintain water quality.
• Mix grades as fish grow: Move up to a larger pellet size as the tank’s fish size up.
