Dainichi Ultima Krill 500g Small (3mm) Floating Pellets

Description

Dainichi Ultima Krill 500g Small (3mm) Floating Pellets — Larger pack of floating krill pellet for surface feeders

A group of surface-feeding cichlids, or more than one tank of them, gets through a 250 g bag of floating food faster than a single display ever would, and restocking a small pack on a tight cycle becomes its own chore. Dainichi Ultima Krill 500g Small (3mm) Floating Pellets (SKU: 101572) is the 500 g pack of Dainichi’s Ultima Krill formula in the 3 mm Small floating grade, the same shrimp-and-krill recipe as the smaller floating pack but scaled for heavier or multi-tank feeding. Spirulina algae carries the colour-enhancing effect and calcium montmorillonite clay supports digestion alongside the marine protein load.

The guaranteed analysis is crude protein minimum 43%, crude fat minimum 6%, crude fibre maximum 3%, moisture maximum 9% and ash maximum 9%. Wheat germ and wheat flour are the main starch sources, 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. The 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, since soaking is said to wash out colour enhancers and vitamins. The 3 mm Small grade is the only size the floating format comes in, and 500 g suits a group of surface feeders or more than one tank fed daily without running out within weeks.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Groups of surface feeders: Several cichlids competing for food at the top of the water.
• Multiple tanks: One 500 g pack feeding more than one surface-feeding display.
• Proven formulas: A larger pack for fish already confirmed to take the floating pellet.
• Daily routine feeding: A staple ration for ongoing use rather than occasional treats.

Feeding Guide

• Two to four feeds daily: Offer only what is cleared within about a minute.
• Keep feeds small across tanks: Light, frequent feeding suits cichlids better than one large feed.
• Never pre-soak: Soaking is said to leach out colour enhancers and vitamins.
• Skim leftovers: Remove any pellets that stay uneaten at the surface.
