Dainichi Xl Pro 2.5kg Baby (1mm) Sinking Pellets — Bulk fine sinking pellet for frontosa fry and cichlid grow-out rooms
A frontosa breeder raising several batches of fry, or a grow-out room with many tanks of young Central American cichlids, cannot run on bags measured in grams and needs the finest pellet in bulk. Dainichi Xl Pro 2.5kg Baby (1mm) Sinking Pellets (SKU: 101603) is the bulk 2.5 kg pack of the 1 mm Baby grade in Dainichi’s XL Pro line, a sinking formula of premium marine proteins and natural colour enhancers for robust carnivorous and omnivorous cichlids. The fine pellet sinks through the water column, reaching young fish that feed at the bottom and in mid-water across many grow-out tanks. At 2.5 kg the pack suits a breeder, a club, or a fish room running several grow-out systems at once.
Antarctic krill and two spirulina types drive the colour claim, aimed at clean, vibrant colour and especially blue as the fish mature, and calcium montmorillonite clay, used across the Dainichi range, encourages mineral intake, binds metabolic toxins and supports the digestive tract. The remaining ingredients are 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, and only two starch sources are used in the formula. 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 remains the finest pellet in the XL Pro sinking range, and the resealable, UV-light-resistant pouch is worth decanting into smaller sealed containers once opened to keep a 2.5 kg supply of a fine pellet fresh.
Usage & Application
When to Use
- Frontosa fry batches: Multiple tanks of young fish fed from one bulk supply.
- Cichlid grow-out rooms: A bank of tanks kept on the same fine sinking pellet.
- Breeders and clubs: Bulk stock split between several keepers’ grow-out tanks.
- High-volume daily feeding: A 2.5 kg pack sized to avoid frequent reordering of a fine pellet.
Feeding Guide
- Feed little and often: Several small feeds a day suit growing fry.
- Portion it out: Decant working amounts rather than exposing the whole bag at each feed.
- Let it settle below: The pellet sinks to where young fish are feeding.
- Rotate and reseal: Use older stock first and keep the bag well closed between feeds.
