Hikari Tropical Sinking Carnivore Pellets are expertly crafted to cater to the dietary needs of bottom-feeding carnivorous fish, including axolotls.
These pellets are formulated with a well-balanced blend of nutritious ingredients, fortified with essential vitamins and minerals to promote the health and vitality of your aquatic pets. The unique design allows the pellets to quickly soften in water while maintaining their shape, ensuring they are enticing and easy to consume without clouding the tank water. Ideal for axolotls and similar species, Hikari's pellets provide a convenient and hygienic alternative to live foods, without the risk of parasites or bacteria.
Key Benefits:
- Specially developed for bottom feeding carnivorous fish offering a nutrient mix comparable to live foods without the parasites or bacteria they normally contain.
- Developed after extensive study and analysis of the sense of sight, smell and taste of numerous carnivorous fish.
- Inclusion of key ingredients like DL-methionine and L-lysine allowed us to produce a food most bottom feeding carnivores devour readily.
- New advances in bio-technology helped us identify the highest grade of colour enhancing ingredients available today which support colour retention in UV deficient environments. Your fish will look their best year round!
- The highly digestible nutrient mix helps reduce waste and aquarium clouding** common with other sinking foods.
- Rapidly becomes soft by absorbing water, yet retains its shape.
