New Life Spectrum Thera A Large 150g

Description

New Life Spectrum Thera A Large 150g — Garlic-enriched 3–3.5 mm sinking pellet for big-mouthed cichlids and predatory fish

An oscar or a big Central American cichlid sucks up a fine pellet and gets nothing from it, and a recovering fish of that size needs the nutrition more than most. New Life Spectrum Thera A Large 150g (SKU: 102311) is the Large pellet of the Thera+A line, 3 to 3.5 mm and sinking, made on the Spectrum Nutrition Formula with extra garlic, omega-3 and a higher protein level. New Life Spectrum describes the diet as non-medicated and meant for stressed, newly acquired and breeding fish, and the 150 g pack is a trial or a short course for one or two large fish.

Retailer listings put whole Antarctic krill, squid and fish at the front of the ingredients, with wheat flour, garlic, ginger, fish oil and seaweeds behind them and no soybean products. Guaranteed analysis is crude protein 39% minimum, crude fat 9% minimum, crude fibre 8% maximum and moisture 10% maximum. The pellet is dense and sinks, which suits fish that feed from the mid-water and the bottom, such as cichlids, large catfish and loaches. Directions on retailer listings are to feed twice daily and offer only what is finished within a minute or two, which with a pellet this size is a small count per fish.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Large cichlids: Oscars, jaguars, Managuense and other big-mouthed species that need a bigger pellet.
• Newly acquired large fish: A strong-smelling diet to trigger feeding after a long journey.
• Large catfish and loaches: Sinking pellets that reach bottom feeders.
• Short courses: A 150 g pack to test acceptance before buying a bigger size.

Feeding Guide

• Two feeds daily: Divide the ration; large fish do better on two smaller meals.
• Count pellets: Offer a handful and stop when the fish lose interest.
• Soak for shy feeders: A brief soak in tank water makes the pellet softer and the scent stronger.
• Clear the floor: Siphon any uneaten pellets, since large fish produce plenty of waste.
