New Life Spectrum Insectum Regular 600g

Description

New Life Spectrum Insectum Regular 600g — Larger jar of fine sinking insect pellets for busy fish rooms

When several tanks of small fish are fed from one container, the container needs to hold more than a trial amount of a food they all accept. New Life Spectrum Insectum Regular 600g (SKU: 124766) is the 600 g size of Insectum Regular, New Life Spectrum’s sinking insect-protein pellet at 1 to 1.5 mm. It is built on the soy-free Spectrum Nutrition Formula, which the maker pairs with whole Antarctic krill and fish oil and then adds five insect proteins: mealworms, silkworm pupae, black soldier fly larvae, crickets and grasshoppers. Moringa leaf rounds out the recipe as a source of vitamins A and D, calcium, potassium and protein. It is four times the size of the smallest pack, so it suits a keeper who has settled on Insectum as the main pellet.

The Regular pellet is the smallest of three Insectum sizes, with Medium at 2 to 2.5 mm and Large at 3 to 3.5 mm above it. A 600 g purchase makes more sense when the tanks have fish of a similar mouth size, and fry-raising or grow-out set-ups can step up to Medium from the same line later without changing the recipe. The maker describes the food as suited to a wide variety of fish and recommends feeding its diets exclusively. The maker’s published directions for other sinking pellets are to feed twice daily and to give only what is finished in about a minute, a routine that works well for this size too. A larger quantity should be kept sealed, away from heat and damp.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Multiple tanks: One container serving a row of tanks stocked with small fish.
• Grow-out systems: Juveniles fed a fine pellet before moving to Medium.
• Breeders and hobbyists: Keepers who have already tested the food and want fewer reorders.
• Rotation feeding: A stocked pantry for alternating with flakes and frozen foods.

Feeding Guide

• Decant a working supply: Move a few weeks of food to a small dry container for daily use.
• Two measured feeds: Keep the portions the same from tank to tank only when stocking is similar.
• Clear the surplus: Remove any pellets still on the gravel after feeding.
• Store cool and dry: Reseal the main container promptly after each use.
