Dainichi Xl Pro 2.5kg Medium (5mm) Sinking Pellets

Description

Dainichi Xl Pro 2.5kg Medium (5mm) Sinking Pellets — Bulk sinking pellet for adult frontosa and large cichlid colonies

A frontosa breeder running several colonies of adult fish, or a wholesaler holding large cichlids across a bank of tanks, needs a sinking staple that comes in a size matched to the scale of the operation. Dainichi Xl Pro 2.5kg Medium (5mm) Sinking Pellets (SKU: 101461) is the bulk 2.5 kg pack of the 5 mm Medium 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 pellet sinks through the water column, reaching fish that feed at the bottom and in mid-water across multiple tanks of adult fish. At 2.5 kg the pack suits a breeder, a club, or a fish room running several large-cichlid systems.

Antarctic krill and two spirulina types drive the colour claim, aimed at clean, vibrant colour and especially blue, 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 5 mm Medium grade is sized for fully grown frontosa and other large, robust cichlids, and the resealable, UV-light-resistant pouch is worth decanting into smaller sealed containers once opened to keep a 2.5 kg supply fresh.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Adult frontosa colonies: Several groups of fully grown fish fed from one bulk supply.
• Large Central American cichlids: Robust carnivorous and omnivorous species at full size.
• Breeders and fish rooms: Multiple tanks kept on the same large-grade sinking formula.
• High-volume feeding: A 2.5 kg pack sized to avoid frequent reordering.

Feeding Guide

• Feed to appetite: Offer only what each colony clears within a few minutes.
• Portion it out: Decant working amounts rather than exposing the whole bag at each feed.
• Let it sink through: The pellet reaches mid-water and bottom feeders without surface competition.
• Rotate and reseal: Use older stock first and keep the bag well closed between feeds.
