Discus X Pro Pellet – Transition (0.5–0.8 mm)
Discus X Pro Pellet – Transition is a premium micro pellet built for one of the most important (and often overlooked) feeding windows: the period after weaning, when young discus and other tropical fish are ready for a more substantial dry food, but still need a size and texture they can handle easily. With high-quality marine proteins, healthy lipids, and strong water stability, it supports steady growth, healthy development, and day-to-day resilience—without turning feeding time into a cloudy, wasteful mess.
Discus X Pro Pellet – Transition Overview
The transition phase is where many fish either take off or fall behind. They’re eating more, growing quickly, and developing body shape—so consistency matters. These 0.5–0.8 mm pellets are designed to sink slowly and stay intact long enough for fish to feed confidently, making them a strong daily staple for:
- Young discus moving from weaning foods into a more growth-forward pellet
- Juvenile South American cichlids that need digestible protein and clean energy
- Tropical community fish that do best on a nutrient-dense pellet with excellent palatability
- Keepers who want a reliable “bridge food” before stepping up to larger juvenile/adult pellets
When fed in measured portions, Transition helps maintain momentum—supporting even growth and strong conditioning as fish mature.
Why This Formula Works So Well for the Transition Stage
Fish in this stage aren’t “fry” anymore, but they’re not fully into juvenile pellets either. They need a diet that delivers concentrated nutrition in a format that’s still easy to eat and digest. This recipe leans on high-quality marine proteins for clean amino acids and healthy fats to fuel growth and body conditioning, while a highly digestible ingredient profile supports efficient uptake. The result is a staple that helps smooth the move from early foods into the post-weaning routine—so growth stays consistent and fish remain steady under everyday stress.
Key Features
A proper transition food should be easy to accept, easy to digest, and stable in the water—this one is built with that exact purpose:
- Excellent water stability + slow sinking so fish can feed cleanly and confidently
- High levels of proteins and healthy lipids to support strong growth and body development
- Designed specifically to bridge weaning to post-weaning, keeping growth consistent through the change
- Highly digestible raw materials and marine proteins for efficient nutrition
- Great palatability to encourage reliable feeding, even during routine changes
Used as a primary staple during this stage, it helps keep young discus and growing community fish on track as they size up.
Feeding Instructions
Feed 4 times daily, offering only what your fish will finish in about 3 minutes. Keep portions measured, adjust based on stocking level and temperature, and remove uneaten food if needed.
