Dymax Discus Gold 540g Sinking Pellets

Description

Dymax Discus Gold 540g Sinking Pellets — Mid-size pack of protein-rich discus pellets for established groups and breeding pairs

A group of adult discus that has learned to take pellets eats steadily every day, and keepers with a settled shoal soon find the small tub too small. Dymax Discus Gold 540g Sinking Pellets (SKU: DM458) is the 540 g pack of Dymax’s discus pellet, a sinking food formulated as a complete diet from a blend of proteins, indispensable amino acids, vitamins and minerals. Dymax gives it a higher protein level for rapid, healthy growth and good body structure, describing that level as compatible with live foods, and adds natural flavour attractants because discus are known as finicky eaters. Dymax’s product text goes as far as saying it is formulated so discus can be bred without supplementary foods.

Natural colour-enhancing ingredients, astaxanthin among them, are included to improve body colour, while a prebiotic and garlic extract support the digestive system. With more than three times the contents of the 170 g pack (DM457), the 540 g size makes sense for a display of six or more adults, a pair being conditioned to spawn, or a tank of juveniles that need several meals a day. Dymax’s directions are to feed two to three times daily, only as much as the fish eat within five minutes, never overfeeding and always removing leftovers after the feeding period. Because the pack is opened often, closing it firmly after each feed and storing it out of warmth and humidity keeps the pellets in good condition. Fish rooms and discus breeders using larger quantities can step up to the 1.2 kg pack (DM534).

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Established groups: A shoal of adults that already accepts pellets.
• Breeding pairs: Conditioning fish on a protein-rich staple.
• Grow-out tanks: Juveniles that need frequent small meals for growth and shape.
• Replacing beef heart: A dry staple for keepers moving away from messy homemade mixes.

Feeding Guide

• Small and often: Two to three feeds a day, as Dymax directs.
• Watch the clock: Only what is eaten in five minutes.
• One feeding spot: Discus learn a feeding station, which makes leftovers easy to find.
• Remove leftovers: Siphon out uneaten pellets after each feeding period.
