Dainichi Color Supreme 250g Small 3mm Sinking Pellets

Dainichi Color Supreme 3mm Sinking Pellets are a premium colour-enhancing food developed for cichlids that feed through the middle and lower areas of the aquarium.

Made with premium white fish meal, Antarctic krill and cultured spirulina, Color Supreme is designed to support strong natural colour while also providing a high-protein, balanced everyday diet.

Why Choose Dainichi Color Supreme?

If colour is one of the things you love most about keeping cichlids, Color Supreme is designed specifically with that goal in mind.

Dainichi uses two forms of cultured spirulina along with Antarctic krill to provide naturally occurring pigments and nutrients that help support the fish's existing colour potential.

It won't turn a fish into a colour it doesn't naturally have, but good nutrition can help healthy fish display their colour at its best.

Who Is the 3mm Sinking Pellet Best For?

The small 3mm pellet size works well for many small to medium cichlids that can comfortably take a pellet of this size.

The sinking format is particularly useful for fish that prefer feeding below the water surface.

It can be a good option for:

• African Peacock Cichlids
• Many Malawi Haps
• Many Central and South American cichlids
• Other appropriately sized omnivorous or carnivorous cichlids

Always choose food according to the natural dietary needs of the species you keep. Highly herbivorous cichlids may be better suited to a more plant-focused formula.

Sinking Pellets for More Natural Feeding

Not every cichlid likes feeding from the surface.

These pellets sink through the water column, giving midwater and bottom-feeding fish more opportunity to feed naturally and helping spread food through a busy cichlid aquarium.

The 3mm size also makes portion control easier with smaller fish than using an oversized pellet.

Colour-Focused Formula

Color Supreme contains spirulina and Antarctic krill, ingredients Dainichi specifically uses in this formula to support natural colour and lustre.

The manufacturer particularly highlights the formula for helping bring out strong blue and red colouration in cichlids.

Colour development is also influenced by genetics, maturity, water quality, stress levels and overall diet, so quality food works best as part of good aquarium husbandry.

Feeding Guide

Feed only as much as your fish can consume within a few minutes.

Dainichi recommends smaller, more frequent meals rather than one large feeding.

For most aquariums:

• Feed small amounts 2–4 times per day where appropriate
• Watch your fish while they feed
• Avoid allowing uneaten pellets to accumulate on the substrate
• Adjust the amount according to fish size, stocking level and activity

Dainichi advises that its cichlid pellets do not need to be pre-soaked before feeding.
