Discus X Pro Pellet – First Bite (0.2–0.3 mm)
Discus X Pro Pellet – First Bite is a specialized micro pellet for the earliest feeding window—when fry are just beginning to take prepared foods and you want a dependable co-feeding option alongside (or in place of) live foods. With an ultra-fine 0.2–0.3 mm size, slow-sinking behavior, and a highly palatable recipe enriched with EPA and DHA, it’s built to help fry feed confidently, grow evenly, and develop strong body structure with fewer setbacks.
Discus X Pro Pellet – First Bite
In the “first bite” stage, the goal is simple: get fry eating consistently without compromising water quality. This micro pellet is designed to stay stable in the water and sink slowly, keeping food accessible to tiny fish that feed in short bursts.
It’s an excellent choice for:
- Freshly feeding fry that are ready for an ultra-fine prepared food
- Co-feeding routines where you want to reduce reliance on live foods over time
- Breeders and grow-out keepers who want consistent nutrition and repeatable results
Because it’s designed to partially replace Artemia by mimicking key feeding cues, it can help fry recognize and accept dry food earlier—making your routine easier and more consistent.
Why This Formula Works So Well for First-Stage Fry
Very young fry need nutrition that’s concentrated, easy to ingest, and simple to digest—delivered in a form they’ll actually take. First Bite is balanced to support early development with a high-protein profile and a presentation that helps mimic Artemia in the water. The inclusion of five nucleotides is designed to support optimal growth during this demanding stage, while EPA and DHA help round out a nutrition profile geared toward resilience and steady development.
- High-protein nutrition to support rapid early growth and strong body development
- Ultra-fine 0.2–0.3 mm size that fry can take easily as they learn to eat prepared foods
- Artemia-like feeding cues to encourage early acceptance during co-feeding and weaning
- Five nucleotides to support optimal growth and development during this high-demand stage
- EPA + DHA enrichment to support resilience, steady conditioning, and overall vitality
When you pair First Bite with good water quality and consistent, measured feeding, it becomes a simple way to deliver balanced, repeatable nutrition at the exact stage where diet matters most. Used as part of a varied routine over time—stepping up pellet sizes as fry grow—it helps young fish feed confidently, develop evenly, and transition smoothly into the next stage of growth-focused foods.
Key Features
When fry are just learning to take prepared foods, you want a “first pellet” that stays available long enough to be eaten, looks familiar in the water, and delivers concentrated nutrition in a tiny size:
- Micro-sized 0.2–0.3 mm particles that are easy for newly feeding fry to take in
- Slow-sinking, water-stable behavior so food remains accessible without instantly clouding the tank
- Artemia-inspired feeding cues to help trigger interest during co-feeding and early weaning
- Five-nucleotide blend formulated to support early-stage growth and development
- EPA + DHA enrichment to support vitality and steadier conditioning as fry develop
Taken together, these features make First Bite a practical, reliable foundation for early feeding—helping fry eat more consistently now, while setting them up for a smoother step-up into larger pellet sizes as they grow.
Feeding Instructions
Feed 4–5 times daily, offering only what your fry can finish in about 10 minutes. Keep portions small, watch water quality closely, and remove excess food if needed—clean water is just as important as great nutrition during early grow-out.
