New Life Spectrum Float Jumbo 350g

Description

New Life Spectrum Float Jumbo 350g — Floating 7.5–8 mm pellet for oscars, arowana and other big surface feeders

An arowana or an adult oscar will not bother with a pellet the size of a grain of rice, and a food that sits on the surface is how these fish expect to eat. New Life Spectrum Float Jumbo 350g (SKU: 102337) is the Jumbo size of New Life Spectrum’s Naturox series floating pellet, 7.5 to 8 mm across. The recipe is the Spectrum Nutrition Formula, which the maker describes as South Antarctic krill and herring with algae meal, spirulina, a fruit and vegetable extract and natural colour-enhancing ingredients, intended to support immune function. Retail listings name oscars, arowana and Cichlasoma among the surface feeders it suits. Most pellets float.

The typical ingredient list opens with whole Antarctic krill, whole herring and whole wheat flour, followed by algae, beta carotene, spirulina and garlic, with vitamins A, D, E and B12, minerals including iodine, cobalt, iron and manganese, and choline chloride. The maker is explicit that the mega-dose anti-parasitic garlic is specific to its Thera+A formulas, and Thera+A is made in a sinking Jumbo of its own. Jumbo is the largest pellet in the Float range, above Extra Large at 4.5 to 5 mm. The 350 g bag is the smaller Jumbo pack, practical for one or two big fish, since each pellet is large and a bag holds fewer pellets than the same weight of a smaller grade.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Arowana: A floating pellet large enough to be taken from the surface.
• Adult oscars and Cichlasoma: Retail listings name these as suited to the Jumbo size.
• Transition from live foods: A sizeable floating pellet is a familiar shape for predatory top feeders.
• Single big-fish tanks: A 350 g bag is easier to finish before it ages.

Feeding Guide

• Count the pellets: Offer a handful at most and stop when feeding slows.
• Feed at the surface: Drop pellets where the fish normally strike.
• Remove stragglers: Net out any pellets left floating after a few minutes.
• Keep it sealed: Close the bag and store it cool and dry between feeds.
