New Life Spectrum Probiotix Large 300g

Description

New Life Spectrum Probiotix Large 300g — 3 to 3.5 mm sinking pellets with live probiotic cultures for medium and large fish

Every pellet a fish does not fully digest becomes waste, and waste in a closed system becomes phosphate. New Life Spectrum Probiotix Large 300g (SKU: 102607) is the 300 g jar of New Life Spectrum’s Probiotix in the large 3 to 3.5 mm sinking pellet, made in the USA by New Life International: a daily diet fortified with more than three million live probiotic cultures per gram. The cultures are a blend of Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus pumilus and Bacillus subtilis with Pediococcus acidilactici, mixed through the pellet by a process the maker calls cold re-extrusion rather than coated on afterwards. The base is the maker’s enhanced Thera+A formula.

The maker’s claims for the blend are that it increases nutrient absorption in the gut, so fish get more from each feed and produce less and cleaner waste, and that the bacteria keep working in the water and filter, where they consume phosphate. Krill, giant squid, wheat flour and menhaden lead the ingredient list, with Naturox, a natural antioxidant, as the preservative. The published guaranteed analysis is crude protein 39% minimum, crude fat 9% minimum, crude fibre 8% maximum, moisture 10% maximum and ash 10% maximum. The 3 to 3.5 mm pellet suits adult cichlids, medium tangs, angelfish and similar fish, fed twice daily an amount eaten within about a minute.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Medium and large fish: Adult cichlids, large tangs, angels and triggers that take a 3 mm pellet.
• Heavily stocked systems: Tanks where cleaner waste and lower phosphate matter.
• Fish-only marine displays: Triggers, large angels and tangs fed one concentrated staple.
• Freshwater or marine: The same probiotic pellet across both water types.

Feeding Guide

• Twice daily: An amount consumed in about a minute, per the maker.
• Let the pellets sink: Large pellets drop quickly; feed where every fish can reach them.
• Match the mouth: Smaller tankmates get the regular or medium Probiotix pellet instead.
• Keep the cultures alive: Seal the jar after every feed and store it cool and dry.
