New Life Spectrum Grow Fry Powder 60g

New Life Spectrum Grow Fry Powder 60g is a fine, nutrient-dense fry starter food developed for baby fish, fry and small juveniles during their critical early growth stages.

With a particle size of approximately 200–300 microns, the powder is small enough for developing fry to consume while remaining visible in the water so young fish can locate and feed on it easily.

The Grow formula combines squid, Antarctic krill, whole fish, Omega-3 fish oil, algae, seaweed and essential vitamins to support healthy growth, development and colour.

Designed for Growing Fry

Young fish have very different feeding requirements from adults.

They need food particles small enough to consume while still providing concentrated nutrition to support rapid growth and development.

New Life Spectrum Grow Fry Starter uses a 200–300 micron particle size designed specifically for these smaller mouths.

The fine powder makes it suitable for many species once fry are actively feeding.

High Marine-Protein Formula

New Life Spectrum Grow contains a high level of marine-derived protein.

Key ingredients include:

  • Squid
  • Antarctic krill
  • Whole fish
  • Fish oil

These highly palatable ingredients provide protein and fats needed by rapidly developing juvenile fish.

200–300 Micron Fry Powder

The fine particle size is one of the key advantages of New Life Spectrum Grow Fry Powder.

At approximately 200–300 microns, the particles are designed to be:

  • Small enough for fry to eat
  • Large enough for fry to locate
  • Easily distributed through the aquarium
  • Suitable for feeding groups of young fish

The powder has negative buoyancy, allowing particles to gradually move through the water column rather than remaining only at the surface.

Suitable for Freshwater & Marine Fry

New Life Spectrum Grow can be used with a wide variety of developing aquarium fish.

It can be suitable for fry and juveniles from species such as:

  • Guppies
  • Platies
  • Swordtails
  • Cichlids
  • Rainbowfish
  • Bettas
  • Tetras
  • Gouramis
  • Other freshwater fish
  • Suitable marine juveniles

Always make sure the particle size is appropriate for the species and developmental stage being fed.

Feeding New Life Spectrum Grow Fry Powder

Feed very small amounts at a time.

Distribute a light amount of powder where the fry are actively feeding and allow them to consume the food before adding more.

Young fish may benefit from smaller, more frequent feeds rather than one large feeding.

Avoid overfeeding.

Fine fry foods can quickly affect aquarium water quality if excessive amounts remain uneaten.

Maintaining Water Quality in Fry Tanks

Fry are particularly sensitive to poor water quality.

When feeding high-protein growth foods:

  • Feed small portions
  • Remove visible uneaten food where practical
  • Maintain gentle filtration
  • Test water regularly
  • Perform appropriate water changes
  • Avoid excessive feeding

A sponge filter is particularly useful in many fry tanks because it provides biological filtration and gentle water movement without creating strong suction around small fish.

Ideal for Breeding & Grow-Out Aquariums

Grow Fry Powder is particularly useful in:

  • Breeding tanks
  • Fry grow-out tanks
  • Livebearer nurseries
  • Cichlid breeding setups
  • Small juvenile holding tanks
  • Multi-tank breeding systems

Its fine texture makes it easy to distribute food among groups of developing fish.

When Should I Move Fry to Larger Food?

As fry grow, they will eventually require larger food particles.

When young fish can comfortably consume larger foods, they can gradually be transitioned onto appropriately sized micro pellets, flakes or other juvenile fish foods.

Making this transition gradually ensures smaller fish still receive enough food while larger juveniles begin adapting to their next diet.
