New Life Spectrum Discus Sinking 150g

Description

New Life Spectrum Discus Sinking 150g — Mid-size jar of krill-based discus pellets for a regular feeding routine

Once a discus tank is settled and the fish are feeding, the pellet becomes part of a routine that includes frozen foods, water changes and a lot of small portions. New Life Spectrum Discus Sinking 150g (SKU: 102294) is the 150 g jar of New Life Spectrum’s Discus Formula, a slow-sinking pellet of about 1 to 1.5 mm made in the USA by New Life International. The maker describes it as a balanced daily diet for discus, made with easy-to-digest whole krill and algae and no soybean products. As quoted by retailers, New Life Spectrum says the high nutrition density gives less waste and cleaner water, a useful point in a warm tank with a small group of large fish.

Retailer listings of the recipe show marine proteins first, krill, squid and fish, with seaweeds, chlorella, spirulina, garlic, a vitamin and mineral pack and a natural preservative. The catalogue notes that most of the pellets sink, so they reach discus at mid-water and on the bottom. The maker’s feeding direction is twice daily, an amount eaten within about a minute, and no overfeeding; many discus keepers split the daily ration into more small feeds, but that is a keeper’s practice, not a maker’s instruction. At 150 g the jar is about twice the 80 g size, enough for a group of adult discus over several weeks, with the 300 g jar above it for larger groups. Published analysis figures for this formula differ between listings, so the label on the jar is the reference for protein and fat.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Established discus groups: A staple pellet for a settled tank of adults or sub-adults.

Feeding Guide

• Two feeds as a minimum: Each portion eaten within about a minute.
