Vitalis Tropical Flakes

Vitalis Tropical Flakes are a large, soft flake built on whole fish meal and algae instead of wheat and fish by-product. Around 45% usable protein, natural carotenoids for color, and a flake that sinks slowly and stays in one piece so tetras, guppies and gouramis catch it at every level of the tank. Add Vitalis Tropical Pellets for the bottom half of the tank and see all freshwater dry foods.

Features

• Natural pigments and astaxanthin for color, no artificial dyes

Feeding Guide

Feed a pinch once or twice a day, only what is eaten in two minutes. Crumble the flake between dry fingers for small fish like ember tetras and chili rasboras. Seal the pot after use and keep it dry.

FAQ

Is it good for bettas? Yes as part of a rotation. Bettas do best with a pellet or frozen food as the main diet and flake a few times a week.

Why does it sink? It is a denser flake than most. That is deliberate, so midwater fish get fed instead of only the surface gulpers.

Does it cloud the water? No. Feed lightly and the flake stays whole until eaten.
