Dymax Tropical Essential

Dymax Tropical Essential

Dymax Tropical Essential is a slow-sinking granular food for freshwater tropical fish, made for community tanks with small species such as Tetra, Guppy, Molly and Angelfish. The granules drift down through the tank, so fish feeding at different depths all get a chance to eat.

Key Benefits

• Slow-sinking granules that stay within reach of fish at every level of the water column, not only surface feeders
• Prebiotic bacteria added to support digestion, so fish can absorb more of the nutrition in each feed
• B-Glucan to support the immune system and help keep fish healthy and disease-resistant
• Better nutrient uptake means less waste, which supports better water quality in the aquarium
• Bottom-dwelling species can also feed on the granules as they sink

Suitable For

• Freshwater tropical fish
• Tetra
• Guppy
• Molly
• Angelfish
• Other small tropical fish

Available Sizes

Available in 10g, 45g, 120g and 420g.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are slow-sinking granules better than floating food?
Slow-sinking granules let fish at all water levels feed comfortably, not just the surface feeders that take floating food.

What is the benefit of prebiotics in fish food?
Prebiotics help fish absorb more nutrients from their food. That means less waste and improved water quality.

Is Dymax Tropical Essential suitable for Angelfish?
Yes. It is formulated for Angelfish as well as other small tropical fish such as Tetra, Guppy and Molly.

Can bottom-dwelling fish eat these granules?
Yes. Because the granules sink slowly, bottom-dwelling species can feed on them too.

What does B-Glucan do in this food?
B-Glucan supports the immune system, which helps keep fish healthy and disease-resistant.

Which pack size should I choose?
The food comes in 10g, 45g, 120g and 420g packs. A smaller pack suits a small tank or a first trial, while a larger pack suits a bigger community of fish that you feed regularly.
