New Life Spectrum Probiotix Medium 150g — 2 to 2.5 mm probiotic pellets for angelfish, gouramis and mid-size cichlids
Angelfish, gouramis and dwarf cichlids outgrow a 1 mm pellet long before they are big enough for cichlid-sized food. New Life Spectrum Probiotix Medium 150g (SKU: 102610) is the 150 g jar of Probiotix in the medium 2 to 2.5 mm sinking pellet, New Life Spectrum’s probiotic daily diet for freshwater and marine fish. Every gram holds at least three million viable cultures, lab verified according to the maker: Bacillus licheniformis, B. pumilus and B. subtilis, plus Pediococcus acidilactici. Rather than coating finished pellets, New Life Spectrum locks the cultures inside with cold re-extrusion, so fewer are lost to the water as the pellet falls through the tank.
The nutrition under the probiotics is the Thera+A formula: krill and squid protein, whole menhaden, garlic among the leading ingredients, omega-3 fish oil, a mix of seaweeds with chlorella and spirulina, and astaxanthin, marigold, capsanthin and zeaxanthin as colour sources. New Life Spectrum says the cultures increase nutrient absorption in the gut, so more of each feed is used and the waste that leaves the fish is cleaner, and that its phosphate-consuming bacteria continue to work in the filter. Protein is 39% minimum and fat 9% minimum. A 150 g jar is a moderate quantity for one medium-sized community tank or a single pair of cichlids, finished while the food is still fresh.
Usage & Application
When to Use
- Medium freshwater fish: Angelfish, gouramis, rainbowfish and dwarf to mid-size cichlids.
- Marine community fish: Mid-size tangs, dwarf angels and larger clownfish.
- Mixed-size tanks: Alongside the regular pellet where small and medium fish share the water.
- Rising nitrate and phosphate: Tanks where nutrients creep up between water changes.
Feeding Guide
- Two meals daily: Feed what is eaten within about a minute, twice a day.
- Count the mouths: A 2 mm pellet is a full bite for a medium fish, so start with a few each.
- Remove the excess: Siphon out uneaten pellets before they break down in the gravel.
- Store it sealed: Keep the jar closed, cool and dry between feeds.
