Description

New Life Spectrum Doughmix Powder 120g — Shelf-stable powder for mixing a pliable feeding dough for training and grazing stations

Getting a fussy fish onto prepared food, or setting up a feeding spot that stays put, is easier with a food you can shape. New Life Spectrum Doughmix Powder 120g (SKU: 102348) is a powder from New Life Spectrum that is mixed with water into a feeding dough. The maker groups its easy-prep gels and doughs together as training foods, diets for fish with sensitive palates and grazing feeding stations. Because the product is a dry powder it needs no refrigeration and keeps for an extended period, so the pack can sit in a cupboard until it is needed rather than taking up freezer space like frozen foods do.

What sets the dough apart from the gel in the same family is how it behaves in the tank. The maker says its Feeding Dough is particularly unique in allowing mid-water feeding stations without a holder, meaning a lump of prepared dough can be placed in the water column and hold together where a gel would normally need a clip or dish. The 120 g pack is the small size of the Doughmix powder, enough for a number of batches in a single tank or a trial. Mixing ratios and batch sizes are given by the maker on the pack, and the text here does not repeat figures that could not be confirmed. Companion product in the same range: GelMix Powder, which is used to make a softer gel food.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Training foods: Moving new or wild-caught fish onto prepared diets.
• Sensitive palates: Fish that refuse dry pellets or flake.
• Grazing stations: A lump of dough placed where fish can nibble over time.
• Mid-water feeding: Dough that stays in position without a holder, according to the maker.

Feeding Guide

• Follow the pack: Mix the powder with water as directed on the label.
• Make small batches: Prepare only what the tank will use in a feed or two.
• Shape and place: Form the dough and set it at the feeding spot.
• Remove uneaten dough: Take out what remains after the fish have finished to protect water quality.
