LEGIT Nano Fish Food | 0.45 mm
LEGIT. Nano Fish Food is a 0.45 mm slow-sinking pellet made for the way nano fish actually eat—small bites, repeated pickings, and a strong preference for foods that smell “real.” It’s an excellent daily staple for nano tanks, and it also works beautifully for larger fry and small-mouthed community fish that struggle with standard pellets.
Nano keepers especially love it for fish like:
- Galaxy Rasboras
- Chili Rasboras
- Scarlet Badis
- Neon Tetras
- Minnows and other small schooling fish
Because it’s packed with a natural Mysis shrimp attractant, LEGIT. is a go-to option for picky eaters that ignore flakes or spit out typical pellets.
Benefits of Feeding LEGIT. Nano Fish Food
Nano fish (and bigger fry) don’t just need “smaller food”—they do best with a pellet that matches how they actually feed: quick strikes, tiny bites, and repeated grazing through the water column. LEGIT.’s 0.45 mm slow-sinking pellets are built to stay accessible long enough for small mouths to hunt them down, while the natural Mysis-based attractant helps trigger a strong feeding response even in picky species. The result is a daily staple that’s easy to use, easy for fish to take, and designed to deliver real nutrition without turning the tank into a dusty feeding cloud.
- Healthy activity and steady condition: Bioavailable protein plus Omega 3 & 6 fatty acids to support overall vitality and a strong, healthy slime coat.
- Brighter, more vibrant color: Uses a natural source of astaxanthin, which supports coloration and overall robustness.
- Less waste, less hassle: More of what you feed is retained by the fish, which can mean less excess waste entering the aquarium.
Taken together, these benefits make LEGIT. a strong “everyday base” for nano tanks—especially when you feed small portions and keep a consistent routine. Like any great staple, it works best as part of a balanced diet (think occasional frozen/live foods and species-appropriate variety), but it gives you a reliable foundation for steady growth, better development, and more confident feeding—whether you’re raising fry, keeping delicate nano fish, or maintaining a small-mouthed community tank.
Why LEGIT Fish Food is so Good: Clean Feeding, Quality Processing & Sustainable Sourcing
A lot of fish foods talk about “low waste,” but the real difference usually comes down to ingredient quality, how the food is processed, and consistency from batch to batch. LEGIT. is designed to be a nutrient-dense, highly usable pellet—so more of what you feed is retained by the fish, and less ends up as excess debris in the aquarium.
- Higher-quality inputs: Built around premium ingredients (like deboned fishmeal, Mysis, and naturally sourced astaxanthin) that deliver more usable nutrition per bite.
- Low-temperature processing: Made with proprietary processing designed to protect ingredient integrity, helping preserve the value of the formula rather than “cooking out” what matters.
To keep results consistent, LEGIT. is produced in small batches with tight quality control, so each bag performs the way you expect from the first feeding to the last. Sustainability is also baked in: Mysis shrimp—a primary ingredient—are harvested where they’re considered an invasive species, and their removal supports the balance of local ecosystems. On top of that, LEGIT. contributes 5% of profits from each bag toward conservation efforts connected to the aquarium industry—so you’re not just feeding your fish well, you’re supporting the hobby’s future too.
