Dainichi Xl Pro 100g Baby (1mm) Sinking Pellets

Description

Dainichi Xl Pro 100g Baby (1mm) Sinking Pellets — Fine sinking pellet for juvenile frontosa and growing cichlids

A tank of young frontosa or growing Central American cichlids is not ready for the pellet their parents eat, and a fine 1 mm grain that sinks to where juveniles actually feed is harder to source than it should be. Dainichi Xl Pro 100g Baby (1mm) Sinking Pellets (SKU: 101454) is the 1 mm Baby grade of Dainichi’s XL Pro line in a sinking form, a formula of premium marine proteins and natural colour enhancers built for robust carnivorous and omnivorous cichlids. The pellet sinks through the water column rather than floating, delivering food to fish that feed at the bottom and in mid-water, which suits young cichlids still finding their place in the tank. At 100 g the pack suits a single grow-out tank or a trial of the formula before buying a larger size.

Antarctic krill and two spirulina types supply the colour claim, aimed at clean, vibrant colour as the fish mature, and calcium montmorillonite clay, included across the Dainichi range, encourages mineral intake, binds metabolic toxins and supports the digestive tract. The rest of the recipe is white fish meal, wheat flour and wheat germ, soybean meal and brewer’s yeast, with powdered milk, garlic, protease and gum acacia alongside a vitamin and mineral premix. Guaranteed analysis is crude protein 44% minimum, crude fat 6% minimum, crude fibre 3% maximum, moisture 9% maximum and ash 10% maximum. The 1 mm Baby grade is the finest in the XL Pro sinking range, intended for fry and growing cichlids rather than adults.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Juvenile frontosa: A 1 mm sinking pellet sized for young, growing fish.
• Growing Central American cichlids: Similar-sized fry and juveniles still filling out.
• Bottom and mid-water feeders: Young cichlids that feed away from the surface.
• Grow-out tanks: A 100 g pack sized for one tank of developing fish or a trial.

Feeding Guide

• Feed little and often: Offer only what is cleared within a few minutes, several times a day.
• Let it sink through: Allow the pellet to reach fish feeding below the surface.
• Watch growth: Move up to the 3 mm Small grade as the fish outgrow this size.
• Reseal the pouch: Protect the fine pellet from moisture and light between feeds.
