Tropical® HI-PROTEIN DISCS XXL

Product Specification:

Tropical HI-PROTEIN DISCS XXL is a professional-grade, sinking food in the form of large, flat discs. It is specifically engineered for large species of bottom-feeding fish, particularly those with a carnivorous or omnivorous diet. These discs are designed to maintain their structural integrity for an extended period, allowing for the natural grazing and “rasping” behaviours of large catfish while ensuring maximum nutrient delivery without polluting the aquarium water.

Key Features and Benefits

• High-Protein Formulation: Contains an exceptionally high level of easily assimilable proteins derived from premium herring and crustaceans. This supports the significant metabolic demands and muscle mass of large, active bottom-dwellers.

• Hydrostable Structure: The XXL discs are manufactured to be highly water-stable. They do not disintegrate quickly upon submersion, preventing “cloudy water” and allowing slow-feeding or nocturnal species ample time to locate and consume the food.

• Immune System Enhancement: Fortified with Beta-glucan, a natural immune modulator, and stabilized Vitamin C. This combination bolsters the fish’s natural defences against pathogens and aids in tissue repair and recovery.

• Optimal Digestion: Despite the high protein concentration, the inclusion of high-quality fibre ensures smooth intestinal transit, reducing the risk of digestive blockages in large specimens.

• Vibrant Vitality: A balanced blend of vitamins and minerals ensures that large fish maintain strong skeletal structures and vibrant, healthy skin and scales.

Ideal For

The XXL disc size is tailored for large, mature bottom-feeding species, including:

• Large Loricariid Catfish: Such as Panaque (Royal Plecs), Pseudacanthicus (Cactus Plecs), and large Ancistrus.

• Large Armour-plated Catfish: Such as Callichthys and large Hoplosternum.

• Sturgeons and Large Loaches: Including mature Clown Loaches (Chromobotia macracanthus).

• Freshwater Rays: Providing a dense, protein-rich supplement to their diet.

Feeding Instructions

Note: For nocturnal species, it is highly recommended to feed the discs shortly before the aquarium lights are extinguished to mimic their natural feeding cycle.
