New Life Spectrum Grow Sinking Pellets 60g – Small 0.5–0.7mm

New Life Spectrum Grow Sinking Pellets 60g are a premium, high-protein aquarium fish food specially formulated for growing juvenile fish. Featuring small 0.5–0.7mm sinking pellets, the Grow formula provides concentrated nutrition to support healthy development, body condition and natural colouration during important stages of growth.

Made with squid, whole Antarctic krill, fish and marine ingredients, New Life Spectrum Grow provides 45% minimum crude protein and 10% minimum crude fat. The formula combines high-quality animal proteins with omega-3 fatty acids, marine algae and added vitamins to meet the nutritional demands of young fish.

The small sinking pellets are ideal for juvenile cichlids, growing tropical community fish and other compatible freshwater or marine species that are large enough to accept a prepared pellet food.

High-Protein Nutrition for Growing Aquarium Fish

Young fish need appropriate nutrition to support the development of healthy tissues, muscles and normal body condition. During periods of rapid growth, they may require a diet with greater nutrient density than foods designed primarily for mature fish.

New Life Spectrum Grow combines squid, Antarctic krill and fish with marine algae, vitamins and minerals to provide a concentrated prepared diet.

The current formulation contains a minimum of 45% crude protein and 10% crude fat, making it particularly useful for juvenile fish with higher nutritional demands.

Good growth also depends on suitable water quality, aquarium space, temperature, feeding frequency and the dietary requirements of the individual species.

Small 0.5–0.7mm Sinking Pellets

The Small Grow pellets measure approximately 0.5–0.7mm, making them easier for growing fish to consume than larger aquarium pellets.

The pellets are negatively buoyant, so most sink after entering the water. This gives fish an opportunity to feed as the pellets move through the water column or settle onto the substrate.

The small size is especially useful for juvenile fish that have outgrown powdered fry foods but are not yet ready for larger pellets.

Important: This product is the Small sinking pellet formula. New Life Spectrum also produces a separate Grow Fry Starter Powder with particles measuring approximately 200–300 microns for much smaller fish.

Which Fish Can Eat New Life Spectrum Grow?

New Life Spectrum Grow is suitable for many growing freshwater and marine fish that can comfortably consume small sinking pellets and whose dietary requirements match the formula.

• Juvenile African Cichlids: Suitable for many growing peacock and hap cichlids that benefit from protein-rich prepared food.
• Young American Cichlids: A practical small pellet for developing Firemouths, Acaras and other compatible species.
• Growing Rams and Dwarf Cichlids: Provides a manageable pellet size for fish that accept prepared sinking foods.
• Young Tropical Community Fish: Suitable for compatible growing tetras, barbs and other species with appropriate nutritional needs.
• Juvenile Rainbowfish: Provides small prepared pellets for growing fish that readily accept sinking foods.
• Compatible Young Marine Fish: Can be used for suitable marine species requiring small, protein-rich pellets.

This formula is not automatically suitable for every species of fry or juvenile fish. Very small fry may need a finer starter food, while specialised herbivores and algae-grazing species may require a different nutritional balance.

Marine Proteins and Omega-3 Nutrition

New Life Spectrum Grow contains squid as its first listed ingredient, followed by Antarctic krill and other selected ingredients.

These marine protein sources provide nutritional variety, while fish oil supplies dietary fats including omega-3 fatty acids.

The formula also includes several marine algae and seaweed ingredients, adding plant-derived nutrients to the overall nutritional profile.

This combination is designed to support normal growth and development in suitable young aquarium fish.

Natural Colour Support

New Life Spectrum Grow includes astaxanthin, spirulina and marigold, which provide pigments commonly used in ornamental fish nutrition.

These ingredients can help support natural colour development as young fish mature.

The final appearance of aquarium fish depends on their species, genetics, age, health and environment. Appropriate nutrition supports natural colouration but cannot change the fish's genetic colour potential.

Feeding Instructions

Feed small amounts according to the size, age, species and appetite of your fish.

• Growing juvenile fish: Offer appropriately sized portions in several small feeds where suitable for the species.
• Portion control: Provide only the quantity that fish can consume promptly.
• Pellet size: Ensure the 0.5–0.7mm pellets can be swallowed comfortably.
• Feeding behaviour: Allow fish to collect the sinking pellets throughout the water column.
• Water quality: Remove uneaten food and avoid allowing excess feed to accumulate.
• Dietary variety: Use additional species-appropriate foods where required.

Juvenile fish may benefit from smaller, more frequent feeds, but feeding requirements vary significantly between species. Avoid overfeeding, as excess food can contribute to ammonia production and poor water quality.

Grow Small Pellets vs Grow Fry Starter Powder

New Life Spectrum offers two Grow food formats for different developmental stages.

• Grow Small Sinking Pellets: 0.5–0.7mm pellets for growing juvenile and smaller fish.
• Grow Fry Starter Powder: Approximately 200–300 micron particles for small fry that cannot yet consume the pellet format.

Choose the food based on mouth size and feeding ability rather than fish age alone. A gradual transition between food sizes can help ensure young fish continue feeding successfully.
