Dainichi Xl Pro 250g Medium (5mm) Sinking Pellets

Description

Dainichi Xl Pro 250g Medium (5mm) Sinking Pellets — Everyday sinking pellet for adult frontosa and bottom-feeding cichlids

Adult frontosa often feed through the middle and lower parts of the water column rather than snatching food at the surface, and a pellet that sinks steadily suits that habit better than one built to float. Dainichi Xl Pro 250g Medium (5mm) Sinking Pellets (SKU: 101457) is the 250 g 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 rather than floating, reaching fish that feed at the bottom and in mid-water. At 250 g the pack suits a single tank of adult-sized cichlids on regular feeding.

Antarctic krill and two spirulina types are the colour drivers, 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. 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 rather than a longer filler list. 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 keeps a 250 g supply in good condition.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Adult frontosa: A 5 mm sinking pellet sized for fully grown fish.
• Large Central American cichlids: Robust carnivorous and omnivorous species of similar size.
• Mid-water and bottom feeders: Cichlids that feed below the surface most of the time.
• Single adult-stocked tank: A 250 g pack sized for one tank of full-grown fish.

Feeding Guide

• Feed to appetite: Offer only what the fish clear within a few minutes.
• Several smaller feeds: Preferable to one large daily feeding.
• Let it sink through: The pellet reaches mid-water and bottom feeders without competition from the surface.
• Keep the pouch sealed: Protect the remaining pellets from moisture and light.
