Dainichi Xl Pro 250g Baby (1mm) Sinking Pellets — Everyday fine sinking pellet for growing frontosa and cichlids
Young frontosa and growing Central American cichlids are fed daily rather than occasionally, and a 100 g trial pack does not last long once a grow-out tank is on a settled routine. Dainichi Xl Pro 250g Baby (1mm) Sinking Pellets (SKU: 101455) is the 250 g 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 rather than competing at the surface. At 250 g the pack suits a single grow-out tank kept on regular feeding.
Antarctic krill and two spirulina types drive the colour claim, aimed at clean, vibrant colour and especially blue as the fish develop, and calcium montmorillonite clay, used across the Dainichi range, encourages mineral intake, binds metabolic toxins and supports the digestive tract. White fish meal, wheat flour and wheat germ, soybean meal and brewer’s yeast make up the base, with powdered milk, garlic, protease and gum acacia alongside a vitamin and mineral premix, and only two starch sources are used in the recipe. 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, suited to fry and growing cichlids, and the resealable, UV-light-resistant pouch keeps a 250 g supply fresh over regular use.
Usage & Application
When to Use
- Young frontosa: A fine sinking pellet for fish still growing towards adult size.

- Bottom and mid-water feeders: Young cichlids that feed away from the surface.
- Regular grow-out feeding: A 250 g pack sized for ongoing daily use.
Feeding Guide
- Feed little and often: Several small feeds a day suit growing cichlids.
- Offer only what is cleared: Avoid leaving excess pellets to foul the substrate.
- Let it settle below: The pellet sinks to where young fish are feeding.
- Size up as they grow: Move to the 3 mm Small grade once fish outgrow this size.
