Description

Tropical® Soft Line America (Sinking Sticks S)

Product Specification:

Tropical Soft Line America S is a specialised, soft-formulation daily diet in the form of sinking sticks, specifically developed for South and Central American fish. Part of the innovative Soft Line range, this food features a unique “soft-moist” texture that mimics the consistency of natural prey, ensuring exceptional palatability and easy digestion for omnivorous and carnivorous species.

Key Features and Benefits

• Soft Stick Technology: The sticks are pliable and tender, reducing the rejection rate often seen with hard, extruded pellets. This texture is particularly beneficial for sensitive species or wild-caught fish transitioning to prepared diets.

• Immune System Support: Formulated with Beta-glucan, a natural immune modulator, along with garlic and onion to bolster the fish’s resistance to pathogens and help maintain a healthy intestinal flora.

• Intense Colour Enhancement: Contains high levels of Astaxanthin, Calanus, and red pepper extract. These natural sources of carotenoids promote rapid and deep coloration, particularly enhancing the reds, oranges, and golds characteristic of American cichlids.

• Premium Marine Proteins: Utilises herring and crustaceans (including krill) as primary protein sources. This provides a comprehensive amino acid profile essential for robust growth, muscle development, and tissue repair.

• Water Stability and Clarity: Despite their soft texture, the sticks remain stable in water. They do not dissolve rapidly or cloud the aquarium, ensuring that nutrients are consumed by the fish rather than polluting the environment.

Ideal For

The “S” size (small sinking sticks) is specifically tailored for South and Central American species, including:

• Dwarf Cichlids: Such as Apistogramma, Mikrogeophagus (Rams), and Dicrossus.

• Benthic Feeders: Smaller species of Geophagus and other substrate-sifting cichlids.

• Characins: Larger Tetra species (such as Bleeding Heart or Congo Tetras) and Silver Dollars.

• Catfish: Corydoras and smaller Loricariids (Plecos) that benefit from a soft-sinking diet.

Feeding Instructions

Note: To maintain the unique soft-moist consistency, always ensure the container is tightly sealed immediately after use. Store in a cool, dry place.
