Dainichi Ultima Krill 2.5kg Baby (1mm) Sinking Pellets

Description

Dainichi Ultima Krill 2.5kg Baby (1mm) Sinking Pellets — Bulk krill pellet for breeders raising large batches of fry

A breeder raising several spawns of fry through to juvenile size needs the Baby grade by the kilogram, not a 100 g bag that barely covers one batch before the fish have outgrown it. Dainichi Ultima Krill 2.5kg Baby (1mm) Sinking Pellets (SKU: 101577) is the 2.5 kg bulk pack of Dainichi’s Ultima Krill formula in the 1 mm Baby sinking grade, the same shrimp-and-krill recipe sold in the smaller retail packs but scaled for continual feeding of fry and young cichlids across multiple tanks. Spirulina algae carries the colour-enhancing load and calcium montmorillonite clay supports digestion in young fish establishing on a pelleted diet.

The guaranteed analysis holds at this size: crude protein minimum 43%, crude fat minimum 6%, crude fibre maximum 3%, moisture maximum 9% and ash maximum 9%. Wheat germ and wheat flour supply the starch, soybean meal and brewers yeast round out the amino acid profile, and milk powder, vitamin mix, mineral mix, garlic, beta glucan and protease complete the recipe. Dainichi’s feeding directions do not change with pack size: two to four times daily, only what is eaten within about a minute, and never pre-soaked. The 1 mm Baby grade remains the smallest in the range, and 2.5 kg is a bulk commitment suited to a breeding operation or several grow-out tanks rather than a single lightly stocked display.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Breeding operations: Bulk feeding of successive spawns through to juvenile size.
• Multiple grow-out tanks: One bag feeding several batches of young cichlids at once.
• Clubs and fish rooms: Shared bulk stock for members raising fry on the same formula.
• Proven formulas only: Buy this size once fry are confirmed to eat the Baby grade.

Feeding Guide

• Two to four feeds daily: Offer only what clears within about a minute.
• Portion by tank: Divide the bulk pack out per batch rather than overfeeding one.
• Never pre-soak: Soaking is said to leach out colour enhancers and vitamins.
• Reseal between uses: Keep the bulk bag dry to protect the vitamin content over time.
