Dainichi Xl Pro 500g Medium (5mm) Floating Pellets

Description

Dainichi Xl Pro 500g Medium (5mm) Floating Pellets — Larger pack of big slow-floating pellets for adult frontosa colonies

A tank of several adult frontosa or large Central American cichlids feeding together clears a 5 mm pellet quickly, and a 250 g bag does not last long once a colony is at full size. Dainichi Xl Pro 500g Medium (5mm) Floating Pellets (SKU: 101567) is the 500 g pack of the 5 mm Medium grade in Dainichi’s XL Pro line, a floating formula of premium marine proteins and natural colour enhancers for robust carnivorous and omnivorous cichlids. The pellet floats at or near the surface before settling, suiting cichlids that feed in open water as well as at the bottom. The 500 g size suits an established colony of adult-sized fish fed regularly.

Antarctic krill and two spirulina types drive the colour claim, aimed at clean, vibrant colour and especially blue, and calcium montmorillonite clay, a feature 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 form 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 5 mm Medium grade is sized for fully grown frontosa and other large, robust cichlids, and the resealable, UV-light-resistant pouch keeps a 500 g supply in condition for a colony fed several times a day.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Adult frontosa colonies: A group of fully grown fish fed together regularly.
• Large Central American cichlids: Robust carnivorous and omnivorous species at full size.
• Open-water feeders: Cichlids that take food before it reaches the substrate.
• Established colony feeding: A 500 g pack sized for ongoing, frequent feeding.

Feeding Guide

• Feed to appetite: Offer only what the colony clears within a few minutes.
• Allow floating time: Let the pellet sit near the surface before it settles.
• Spread across feeds: Several smaller feeds suit a large, active colony better than one big one.
• Reseal firmly: Protect the remaining pack from moisture and light between feeds.
