Dainichi Veggie Deluxe 100g Baby (1mm) Sinking Pellets

Description

Dainichi Veggie Deluxe 100g Baby (1mm) Sinking Pellets — Fine herbivore pellet for small-mouthed Tropheus and Petrochromis

Strict herbivores like Tropheus are notoriously prone to bloat on the wrong diet, and a young colony needs a pellet matched to small mouths as much as to a plant-based recipe. Dainichi Veggie Deluxe 100g Baby (1mm) Sinking Pellets (SKU: 101481) is the finest pellet in Dainichi’s Veggie Deluxe range, a kelp and spirulina-based sinking food built for herbivorous cichlids and suitable and effective for other herbivorous fish as well. Krill, shrimp meal and white fish meal round out the recipe for digestible protein, with five colour-enhancing ingredients included for growth and vigour. Garlic and uncooked digestive enzymes support fish health, and calcium montmorillonite clay helps bind metabolic toxins and promote digestive efficiency, which Dainichi positions as a way to help prevent bloat in bloat-sensitive species. The fibrous kelp base is central to the formula rather than an add-on.

At 1 mm, the Baby pellet suits Tropheus and Petrochromis fry and juveniles, and other small-mouthed herbivorous cichlids that cannot yet manage the 3 mm Small pellet in the same range. The 100 g bag is a trial or starter size, enough to settle a young colony onto the diet before committing to a larger pack. Feeding follows Dainichi’s standard direction for the range: offer only what the fish consume within a few minutes, one to three times daily, with smaller and more frequent feeds recommended over one large meal for better digestive health. No guaranteed analysis is published for this pack. Veggie Deluxe is pitched as a flagship herbivore diet, with the related Veggie FX formula adding a colour-enhancing coating for keepers who want a stronger result. The same recipe is also sold at 250 g, 500 g and 2.5 kg, and in the 3 mm Small pellet for larger fish.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Tropheus and Petrochromis fry: A 1 mm pellet sized for small mouths.

Feeding Guide
