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

Description

Dainichi Ultima Krill 500g Small (3mm) Sinking Pellets — Everyday sinking pellet for growing omnivorous and carnivorous cichlids

A keeper running more than one cichlid tank, or a single busy display, gets through a 250 g bag faster than it is worth reordering. Dainichi Ultima Krill 500g Small (3mm) Sinking Pellets (SKU: 101575) is the value-sized bag of Dainichi’s all-purpose maintenance formula for omnivorous and carnivorous cichlids of all types, built on the same 3 mm sinking pellet as the smaller bag. Antarctic krill and two spirulina blends supply the colour, with shrimp added for palatability, while immuno-stimulants and digestive enzymes support general health. Garlic and raw vitamins help keep internal parasites in check, and calcium montmorillonite clay binds metabolic toxins and supports a clean digestive tract. Wheat flour is the binder and wheat germ supplies vitamins E and B.

The 3 mm Small pellet is the mid-point of the range, sized above the 1 mm Baby pellet for fry and below the 5 mm Medium pellet for large adults, and suits the bulk of community and semi-aggressive cichlids once past the juvenile stage. Dainichi’s feeding direction stays the same regardless of pack size: offer only what the fish finish within a few minutes, one to three times daily, with smaller and more frequent feeds preferred over one large meal. As a sinking pellet it reaches mid-water and bottom feeders as well as fish that take it from the surface. Ultima Krill remains a maintenance diet rather than a specialist colour or growth formula, so the 500 g bag suits tanks fed daily rather than occasional feeding. No guaranteed analysis is published for this pellet size. The same recipe is packed at 100 g and 250 g for smaller households and at 2.5 kg for fish rooms, and in Baby (1mm) and Medium (5mm) pellets for other fish sizes.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Multiple cichlid tanks: One 500 g bag covers more than one established display.
• Heavy daily feeders: Larger groups or bigger cichlids that work through food quickly.
• Restocking regulars: A longer-lasting size for keepers who feed this pellet every day.
• Omnivore and carnivore mixes: One formula across both feeding types in a community tank.

Feeding Guide

• One to three feeds daily: Dainichi’s standard routine for the Ultima Krill range.
• Feed to appetite, not excess: Only offer what clears within a few minutes.
• Split larger feeds: Several smaller feeds suit digestion better than one big one.
• Remove uneaten food: Clear leftovers to keep water quality steady in a busier tank.
