NorthFin Veggie Herbivore Fish Food, 2 mm 500 g Slow-Sinking Pellets

NorthFin Veggie Herbivore Fish Food is a 2 mm, 500 g slow-sinking pellet food formulated for herbivore and omnivore fish, with certified organic kelp as its first ingredient.

• Certified organic kelp (Laminariales) is the number-one ingredient — provides marine greens for plant-grazing fish.
• Slow-sinking pellets suit freshwater and saltwater herbivores and omnivores — including plecos, mbuna, African cichlids, silver dollars, goldfish and marine tangs.
• Organic kelp and spirulina are combined with whole Antarctic krill, high-DHA herring and sardine meal — supplying a mix of marine ingredients and protein.
• Made from 100% whole-meal sources, with no fillers, hormones or artificial colors — the formula is designed to support greater digestion and less waste in aquarium water.
• Steam-extruded in Canada to USDA, CFIA and EU Category 3 standards — this 2 mm size is available in a 500 g quantity, with 1 mm and 3 mm sizes also offered.

Plant-grazing fish need food suited to their feeding habits, while mixed freshwater and marine aquariums may include both herbivores and omnivores. NorthFin Veggie Herbivore Fish Food is made for those fish, with a slow-sinking format and a marine-ingredient recipe. Its 2 mm pellet size makes the chosen size clear for buyers selecting food for their fish.
