Aquatic Foods Inc. Ultra Intense Color Pellets – Floating 1.5–2mm for Cichlids, Discus & Small Tropical Fish (1/2 lb)

Overview

Aquatic Foods Inc. Ultra Intense Color Pellets are a floating, easy-to-monitor diet designed for cichlids, discus, baby and small tropical fish, and pond residents. Sized at 1.5–2 mm, this 1/2-lb bag provides a protein-rich balance that supports daily feeding without clouding the water when used as directed. The formula emphasizes color and vitality, making it a frequent choice for hobbyists seeking a consistent, convenient staple for mixed-species tanks.

What makes these pellets stand out

• The color-enhancing blend includes astaxanthin to help bring out natural hues in many ornamental fish.
• A thoughtfully balanced profile with protein 40–45%, fat 4–5%, fiber 4–6%, and moisture 8–10% supports daily energy needs while maintaining water quality.
• Premium ingredients include krill, plankton, shrimp meal, brine shrimp, and red shrimp, plus spirulina and dried algae for dietary variety.
• Pellets are sifted and dust-minimized before shipping to help you start with fewer particles in the water column.
• Floating pellets make feeding in tanks with surface activity easy to observe and manage, especially for smaller or shy fish.

Who it’s for

This formula is suitable for a wide range of residents in the community tank—Cichlids, Discus, Angel Fish, Bettas, Koi, Tetras, Goldfish, Parrot Fish, and many other tropical or pond species. It’s also a practical option for feeding young fish or small tank inhabitants that prefer easily digestible, floating pellets.

Feeding guidance and expectations

• Feed small amounts that fish can consume within 2–3 minutes, 2–4 times per day. Adjust portions based on tank size, bioload, and activity.
• Many hobbyists notice gradual color development with regular feeding and a balanced diet, rather than expecting rapid changes.
• Observe the tank after feeding and remove any uneaten pellets to help maintain water quality.
