Dainichi Tropic Max 500g Micro (0.9mm) Sinking Pellets

Description

Dainichi Tropic Max 500g Micro (0.9mm) Sinking Pellets — Standard-size daily staple for small tropical fish

A tank that is fed daily burns through a trial-size bag within a few weeks, and restocking a small pack every month gets tedious once the fish are settled onto a formula they clearly take to. Dainichi Tropic Max 500g Micro (0.9mm) Sinking Pellets (SKU: 102595) is the 500 g standard-size pack of Dainichi’s Tropic Max, a mix of red and green 0.9 mm micro granules built on Antarctic krill meal and white fish meal rather than flake-style filler, aimed at everyday feeding across a wide range of small tropical fish. It is the same formula as the 100 g trial pack, sized instead for a tank or two already settled on it, or for one keeper with several small community tanks running at once.

Kelp, spirulina algae and pea protein are included for digestion, immune function and overall vitality, and the colour comes from astaxanthin and other natural enhancers rather than synthetic dyes. Montmorillonite clay, brewers dried yeast and a vitamin suite running from A, D3, E and C through the B-group, including B12, niacin, calcium pantothenate, riboflavin, B6 and thiamine, round out the recipe. Dainichi’s feeding directions are one to three times daily, in amounts the fish clear within a few minutes, with smaller and more frequent feedings preferred over a single large one and leftovers removed to keep the water clear. The 0.9 mm Micro grade sinks slowly enough to feed mid-water species before it settles for bottom feeders, so one pack covers a mixed community rather than needing a second product.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Established community tanks: A restock size for fish already settled on the Tropic Max formula.
• Multiple small tanks: One 500 g pack feeding two or three community aquariums at once.
• Small-mouthed fish of any kind: Tetras, rasboras and similar species the Micro grade suits.
• Mixed-feeding communities: Covers surface, mid-water and bottom feeders as it sinks.

Feeding Guide

• One to three feeds daily: Offer an amount that clears within a few minutes.
• Smaller feeds over one big one: Frequent light feeding suits small tropicals better.
• Clear uneaten pellets: Removing leftovers after feeding keeps the water from fouling.
• Store the bag sealed: Keep the granules dry between feeds to preserve the vitamin load.
