Hikari Cichlid Excel — Sinking

The sinking version of Cichlid Excel — same herbivore formula as the floating diet, in a mini pellet that goes down instead of staying on the surface.

Why sinking

Sinking pellets suit cichlids that feed mid-water or on the bottom and will not come up to take food off the top. It also keeps food away from the surface in tanks with strong flow, where floating pellets get pushed into a corner or pulled into the overflow before the fish reach them.

Both sizes are the Mini pellet. The floating version is a separate listing.

• 35% crude protein, suited to herbivores and omnivores
• High in wheat germ to improve digestibility
• Pure-cultured spirulina to enhance color
• Sinking mini pellet — for fish that feed below the surface
• For herbivorous cichlids and other larger tropical fish
