Dymax Seaweed Blend Floating Flakes 50g

Description

Dymax Seaweed Blend Floating Flakes 50g — Seaweed and spirulina flake for marine herbivores and plant-eating freshwater fish

Tangs and angelfish that graze all day can go hungry in a tank where the only food is meaty frozen fare, and a seaweed flake fills that gap with very little effort. Dymax Seaweed Blend Floating Flakes 50g (SKU: DM549) is Dymax’s floating flake for herbivorous and omnivorous marine fish, built on seaweed, algae and spirulina with fish meal, krill meal and squid meal as the seafood proteins. The flakes float at the surface and crumble easily between the fingers, so the same food can be offered whole to a tang or broken down for a small blenny or damsel. Dymax describes it as an all-natural, nutritious formula, rich in vitamin C for immune support.

Natural garlic extract is added to increase acceptance by wild-caught and finicky fish, and Dymax presents garlic as a natural aid to parasite prevention. The listed guaranteed analysis is crude protein minimum 33%, crude fat minimum 6%, crude fibre maximum 3%, moisture maximum 10%, phosphorus minimum 1.0% and ash maximum 15%, a lower protein figure than Dymax’s marine pellets that reflects the plant-led recipe. β-carotene, β-glucan and Bacillus subtilis are also in the ingredient list. Marine herbivores named for it include tangs, angelfish, wrasses and damsels, and it is also sold as a food for herbivorous freshwater fish. The directions are to feed two to three times daily, the amount the fish eat within a few minutes, avoiding overfeeding and removing leftovers after the feeding period. The 50 g pack holds about 400 mL of flake; Dymax also makes 20 g and 150 g sizes.
