In freshwater, this includes fully grown cichlids, large goldfish, koi, and adult discus. In marine systems, it covers larger tangs, bigger angelfish, puffers, and similarly sized herbivorous and omnivorous species. The formula is identical to the 60g and 160g: 43% protein with krill meal, squid meal, fish meal, and mussel meal as the protein foundation, astaxanthin and β-carotenoid as the dual carotenoid color stack, and spirulina for plant-based pigment reinforcement. Squid meal remains the unique differentiator within the Dymax pellet range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 560g, the supply covers months of daily feeding for most systems, making it the practical purchase point for hobbyists who have confirmed both that their fish accept the Colour Plus formula and that the 2.5mm pellet size is appropriate for their stocking. The higher fat content (8%) that supports fat-soluble carotenoid uptake is preserved in the 560g exactly as it is in the smaller sizes — the only difference is pellet size and container volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e2.5mm medium pellet for larger-mouthed herbivorous and omnivorous freshwater and marine fish\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSquid meal exclusive to Colour Plus in the Dymax pellet range; high palatability for large-mouthed species\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e43% protein and 8% fat for color-enhancement nutrition in larger fish with higher feeding volumes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAstaxanthin + β-carotenoid dual carotenoid stack for multi-pathway vivid color support\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpirulina provides plant-based pigment reinforcement alongside the carotenoid stack\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGarlic extract for palatability with selective or recently introduced large fish\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eβ-Glucan immune support; Bacillus Subtilis probiotic for digestive efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHighly digestible formula reduces waste in high-feeding larger fish systems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNo artificial colors, preservatives, or harmful additives\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e560g \/ 1200ml supply for established large-fish color feeding programs\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIdeal For:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eLarger freshwater fish species including fully grown cichlids, large goldfish, koi, and adult discus where the 1.6mm small pellet is too small for efficient consumption\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMarine systems running larger tangs, puffers, adult angelfish, and other sizable herbivorous and omnivorous species on a color-enhancement pellet program\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEstablished buyers who have trialed the Colour Plus formula in the 60g or 160g small pellet and are ready to move to the correct pellet size for their fish\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePro Tips:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConfirm pellet size before switching from the 60g or 160g.\u003c\/strong\u003e A large cichlid or adult tang will waste significant food trying to consume a 1.6mm pellet in multiple bites.

Once or twice daily in a generous portion — sized to what the fish clean up in two to three minutes — is typically more effective than multiple small portions that lead to excess waste in the system.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDecant a two to four week working supply for daily access.\u003c\/strong\u003e Opening the 560g container repeatedly degrades freshness.
