Description

New Life Spectrum Regular Sinking 80g — Everyday 1–1.5 mm sinking pellet for omnivorous, carnivorous and herbivorous tropical fish

Most community tanks hold a mix of diets, and a staple has to suit all of them without turning the water cloudy. New Life Spectrum Regular Sinking 80g (SKU: 102266) is the Regular pellet of New Life Spectrum’s Spectrum Nutrition Formula for tropical aquarium fish, a 1 to 1.5 mm sinking pellet made for a wide variety of omnivore, carnivore and herbivore species. It is the everyday diet of the range, without the added garlic of the Thera+A line or the colour focus of UltraRED, and the 80 g pack is the smallest size, suited to one or two tanks or a first try.

Pet City’s listing describes the recipe as built on whole Antarctic krill and whole herring as an easily digested protein source, with no soybean products, plus whole wheat flour, algae, spirulina and garlic. New Life Spectrum says all its foods carry a generous amount of garlic, and that natural ingredients enhance fish colour without added hormones. Guaranteed analysis is crude protein 37% minimum, crude fat 8% minimum, crude fibre 7% maximum, moisture 10% maximum and ash 10% maximum. The directions are to feed twice daily, in amounts finished within about one to two minutes. The pellets are dense, which the maker says means less waste and cleaner water.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Mixed community tanks: One food for tetras, barbs, danios, gouramis, livebearers and small cichlids.
• Daily staple: A complete diet for everyday use rather than a supplement.
• Single-tank households: An 80 g pack that gets used before it goes stale.
• Trying the range: A small first purchase before moving to 300 g or 600 g.

Feeding Guide

• Twice daily: Offer morning and evening portions rather than one large meal.
• Watch for one to two minutes: Feed only what the fish finish in that time.
• Match the mouth: Regular pellets suit adult small and mid-size fish; larger species do better on Medium or Large.
• Keep it fresh: Close the lid tightly after each feed and store in a cool, dry place.
