Ingredients
This large 3 to 3.5 mm tropical sinking pellet was specifically created to replicate what fish would consume in their natural environments, providing exceptional nutrition and colour enhancement. Free from artificial flavors, colours or preservatives and made up of aquatic protein sources (fish meal and krill meal) as well as land animal sources like chicken meal and pork meal; additionally this food comes equipped with essential vitamins and minerals as well as natural color enhancers like astaxanthin and canthaxanthin for enhanced color enhancement.
These shrimp-shaped pellets are the ideal size and shape to attract smaller catfish and small pond koi and goldfish species. They sink quickly, becoming sponge-like mass that these bottom-walkers can easily consume. Plus, their high wheat germ content provides vital extra vitamin E needed by these species!
This floating pellet is ideal for herbivorous turtles that have finished growing or are nearing completion of their growth cycles, as it contains significantly lower protein levels than Hikari wheat germ and provides plenty of omega-3 fatty acids.
Size
These large 3 to 3.5 mm pellets are intended to meet the feeding needs of larger tropical community fish (>5cm). They’re also perfect for smaller carnivorous fish such as Catfish, Eels and Polypherus. Our formula is high in protein and low in fat; made up of aquatic proteins mixed with land animals to mimic what fish would find in nature as well as natural colour enhancers and probiotics for digestion, absorption of nutrients and stress resistance in aquarium fish – plus releases 30% less ammonia than its leading competitor competitor while won’t cloud the water!
Hikari Tropical Sinking Carnivore Pellets are also an excellent option for herbivorous turtles who have reached adulthood but require a higher fiber diet than what the adult-specific Hikari Wheat-Germ pellet provides. Furthermore, hatchlings may find them especially appealing as this pellet features 45% protein and only 5% fat for maximum palatability!
