Dainichi Ultima Krill 250g Small (3mm) Sinking Pellets

Description

Dainichi Ultima Krill 250g Small (3mm) Sinking Pellets — All-purpose sinking diet for omnivorous and carnivorous cichlids

A mixed cichlid tank that has grown past fry food still needs a pellet dense enough for a hungry carnivore without the bulk of an adult-sized bite. Dainichi Ultima Krill 250g Small (3mm) Sinking Pellets (SKU: 101472) is Dainichi’s all-purpose maintenance formula for omnivorous and carnivorous cichlids of all types, a 3 mm sinking pellet built around Antarctic krill and two spirulina blends for colour, with shrimp added for palatability. The recipe includes immuno-stimulants and digestive enzymes for general health, garlic and raw vitamins to help control internal parasites, and calcium montmorillonite clay, which binds metabolic toxins and helps keep the digestive tract clean. Wheat flour binds the pellet and wheat germ supplies vitamins E and B. The 250 g bag suits one established tank on a regular feeding routine rather than a multi-tank fish room.

The 3 mm Small pellet sits between the 1 mm Baby pellet for fry and dwarf cichlids and the 5 mm Medium pellet for large adults, the size most community and semi-aggressive keepers reach for once fish are past the juvenile stage. Dainichi’s feeding direction is to offer only what the fish finish within a few minutes, one to three times a day, with smaller and more frequent feeds favoured over one large meal. The pellet sinks, so it suits mid-water and bottom feeders as readily as surface feeders that chase it down. Ultima Krill is a maintenance diet rather than a specialist growth or colour food, built for everyday feeding across mixed collections. No guaranteed analysis is published for this pellet size. The wider range runs from 100 g bags to 2.5 kg packs, in Baby, Small or Medium pellet sizes.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Established cichlid tanks: Daily maintenance feeding once fish are past fry-sized food.
• Mixed collections: One formula for tanks holding both omnivorous and carnivorous cichlids.
• Stepping up from Baby pellets: The 3 mm size for juveniles that have outgrown the 1 mm pellet.
• Single-tank routine: A 250 g bag sized for one tank’s regular feeding rather than a fish room.

Feeding Guide

• Portion to finish in minutes: Offer only what the cichlids clear within a few minutes.
• One to three feeds daily: Dainichi favours smaller, more frequent feeds over one large meal.
• Remove leftovers: Clear uneaten pellets after each feed to protect water quality.
• Sinking delivery: Pellets settle to mid-water and the substrate rather than staying on the surface.
