Why Choose Dainichi Ultima Krill?

Ultima Krill is a good choice if you want one premium food that can be used regularly across a variety of cichlids.

Dainichi describes it as an all-purpose maintenance formula, combining easily assimilated marine and vegetable ingredients with krill and spirulina.

That makes it particularly useful for mixed cichlid collections where you want a quality everyday pellet without choosing a highly specialised formula for every tank.

Who Is the 3mm Floating Pellet Best For?

The 3mm Small pellet suits many small to medium cichlids that are comfortable taking food from the surface.

It can be suitable for fish such as:

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

Always choose food according to the natural diet of the species you keep. Strongly herbivorous cichlids may be better suited to one of Dainichi's more vegetable-focused formulas.

Why Choose Floating Cichlid Pellets?

Floating pellets make it easy to see how actively your fish are feeding and how much food is being eaten.

This can help you:

• Monitor appetite and feeding behaviour
• Make sure less confident fish are getting food
• Control portion sizes
• Reduce unnecessary uneaten food

If your fish prefer feeding through the middle or lower areas of the aquarium, a sinking version may be a better choice.

Krill & Spirulina for Natural Colour

Ultima Krill contains Antarctic krill and spirulina, ingredients Dainichi uses to support natural colour as part of a balanced diet.

Good nutrition can help healthy fish show their natural colour at its best, but genetics, maturity, water quality, stress and overall husbandry also play an important role.

Feeding Guide

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

Dainichi recommends feeding 1–3 times daily, with smaller feeds preferred over one large meal.

Watch your fish while feeding and reduce the amount if uneaten pellets remain on the surface.

Dainichi cichlid foods do not need to be pre-soaked before feeding.

Ultima Krill or Color Supreme?

Both are premium Dainichi cichlid foods, but they have slightly different strengths.

Ultima Krill is a versatile everyday maintenance food designed to support growth and colour across a broad range of omnivorous and carnivorous cichlids.

Color Supreme has a stronger focus on colour enhancement, particularly when colour development is your main feeding goal.

Many cichlid keepers can also rotate quality foods to provide variety rather than feeding only one formula.
