New Life Spectrum Regular Sinking 2.2kg

Description

New Life Spectrum Regular Sinking 2.2kg — Bulk all-purpose sinking pellets for fish rooms and large tropical collections

When a fish room feeds twice a day, a food that costs less per feed and stays the same from tank to tank saves a lot of fuss. New Life Spectrum Regular Sinking 2.2kg (SKU: 102270) is the bulk pack of New Life Spectrum’s all-purpose tropical pellet in the regular size, 1 to 1.5 mm. The formula is aimed at a wide variety of omnivorous, carnivorous and herbivorous tropical fish, using whole Antarctic krill and whole herring as the protein sources with no soybean products. At 2.2 kg it is the largest regular-pellet pack and suits breeders, shops, clubs and keepers with many small-fish tanks.

Ingredients include whole wheat flour, algae, beta carotene, spirulina, garlic, a vegetable and fruit extract and a vitamin and mineral pack. The distributor lists the guaranteed analysis as crude protein 37% minimum, crude fat 8% minimum, crude fibre 7% maximum, moisture 10% maximum and ash 10% maximum, with vitamin A at 10,000 IU/kg and vitamin D at 3,500 IU/kg minimum. The maker states that the food contains no added hormones, and that its nutrient density means less waste. Directions are to feed twice daily, in an amount that the fish eat completely in one to two minutes. A pack this size will be open for months, so the practical routine is to decant a few weeks of food into an airtight tub for the fish room and keep the remainder sealed in a cool, dry place. The pellets sink, which keeps surface competition down in crowded tanks.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Breeding and grow-out rooms: One consistent pellet across many tanks of small fish.
• Retail holding systems: A daily staple for mixed tropical stock.
• Club buys: A bulk pack that can be divided between members.
• Large community set-ups: Densely stocked tanks that use food quickly.

Feeding Guide

• Twice daily: Feed what is eaten in one to two minutes.
• Decant in portions: Fill a tub with a few weeks of food and reseal the bulk pack.
• Store away from heat: Warmth and humidity shorten the life of fats in the pellets.
• Match the pellet: Use the medium or large size for bigger fish.
