Balanced Nutrition for Tropical Aquarium Fish

Healthy aquarium fish need a diet that supplies suitable proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals. New Life Spectrum combines ingredients from aquatic animals and marine plants to provide a broad range of nutrients.

Whole Antarctic krill, squid and fish provide animal protein, while seaweed, kelp, chlorella and spirulina add plant-derived nutrients. Added vitamins and minerals help make the formula suitable as a complete prepared food for many omnivorous aquarium species.

The high-density pellets also make portion control easier. Feed only what your fish need to help prevent uneaten food from affecting aquarium water quality.

Small 1–1.5mm Sinking Pellets

The Regular pellet size measures approximately 1–1.5mm, making it suitable for many fish that find larger pellets difficult to eat.

New Life Spectrum describes its Regular pellets as negatively buoyant, meaning most sink after entering the aquarium.

Fish can collect the pellets as they fall through the water column or from the lower areas of the tank. This makes the food useful for mixed aquariums containing species with different feeding behaviours.

Tip: Always select food according to mouth size. Very small fish or fry may need a finer pellet or powdered food, while larger fish may be better suited to the Medium or Large Spectrum pellets.

Which Fish Can Eat New Life Spectrum Regular?

This all-purpose formula is suitable for many compatible freshwater and marine aquarium fish that can comfortably eat 1–1.5mm pellets.

• Tetras: Suitable for many larger tetra species that readily accept sinking pellets.
• Barbs: A useful daily food for compatible omnivorous barbs.
• Rainbowfish: Suitable for smaller species and growing fish that accept this pellet size.
• Kribensis: Provides a balanced prepared food for these omnivorous dwarf cichlids.
• Bolivian Rams: Small sinking pellets suit their feeding behaviour.
• Blue Rams: Suitable for individuals accustomed to prepared sinking foods.
• Juvenile Cichlids: Suitable for many growing species with compatible dietary needs.
• Marine Aquarium Fish: Can be used for compatible marine species that accept small sinking pellets.

Important: Not every fish has the same nutritional requirements. Specialist herbivores, algae grazers, strict predators and fish with unusual feeding habits may need a different staple diet.

Supports Natural Fish Colouration

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

These ingredients help support natural fish colouration as part of a balanced diet.

Colour development also depends on genetics, age, health, water quality and aquarium conditions. Good nutrition supports the fish's natural appearance rather than changing its inherited colours.

How to Feed New Life Spectrum Regular Pellets

Offer small quantities once or twice daily, adjusting the amount to suit your fish and their dietary requirements.

• Feed only as much as the fish can consume within approximately 1–2 minutes.
• Distribute pellets so less dominant fish have an opportunity to feed.
• Observe fish to ensure they can comfortably swallow the pellets.
• Remove uneaten food before it accumulates.
• Adjust feeding according to fish size, age, appetite and water temperature.
• Provide additional species-appropriate foods where necessary.

Overfeeding can increase waste and contribute to poor aquarium water quality. Small, measured feeds are generally preferable to adding large quantities at once.

Choosing the Right New Life Spectrum Pellet Size

• Regular – 1–1.5mm: Suitable for many smaller tropical fish.
• Medium – 2–2.5mm: Suitable for medium-sized fish and growing larger species.
• Large – 3–3.5mm: Suitable for larger fish that can comfortably consume bigger pellets.
• Giant – 10–10.5mm: Intended for much larger aquarium fish.

All four sizes belong to the original New Life Spectrum all-purpose range. Choose the size that best matches your fish rather than assuming larger pellets provide better nutrition.
