Dymax Marine Complete Pellet Fish Food, 160g

Everyday Carnivore Pellet Food for Marine Fish-Only and Reef Systems

The Dymax Marine Complete Pellet Food (160g) is a 1.6mm slow-sinking small pellet and the standard regular-supply size in the Marine Complete range. It carries the same formula as the 60g: 42% protein and 8% fat from a krill-first ingredient base of krill meal, fish meal, and mussel meal, with astaxanthin and β-carotenoid for natural color development and garlic for palatability. The 160g container provides enough volume for consistent daily feeding of a small to mid-size carnivorous system without the commitment or storage demands of the 560g bulk container.

The slow-sinking pellet format is particularly effective in tanks housing a mix of mid-water and bottom-dwelling carnivores. A trigger or grouper may strike in the mid-column while a hawkfish or scorpionfish waits for the pellet to reach the rockwork. Both get fed in a single drop without needing separate feeding strategies. The β-Glucan and Bacillus Subtilis in the formula support immune function and digestive health, which helps maintain the general resilience of carnivorous species that can be sensitive to prepared food transitions.

Manufactured without artificial colors or preservatives under strict quality control standards.

Key Features:

• 1.6mm slow-sinking small pellet for carnivorous and omnivorous marine fish
• 42% protein and 8% fat to meet the higher nutritional demands of carnivorous species
• Krill meal listed first, backed by fish meal and mussel meal as the marine protein foundation
• Astaxanthin and β-carotenoid for dual-pathway natural color enhancement
• β-Glucan supports immune defense against bacterial and parasitic challenges
• Bacillus Subtilis probiotic supports digestion and reduces waste output
• Garlic enhances palatability for finicky or recently imported carnivores
• Slow-sinking behavior serves both mid-water strikers and bottom-dwelling ambush feeders
• Highly digestible formula reduces waste and nutrient loading in the system
• No artificial colors, preservatives, or harmful additives
• 160g / 400ml provides a practical weeks-long supply for most carnivorous reef systems

Ideal For:

• Small to mid-size marine systems with carnivorous and omnivorous stocking who have already trialed the 60g and are ready for a regular supply purchase
• Fish-only tanks housing active carnivores — triggers, puffers, hawkfish, large dottybacks, and similar species — on a daily pellet feeding schedule
• Retail shops carrying both the 60g and 160g as a clear upsell path for hobbyists who confirm their fish accept the Marine Complete formula

Pro Tips:

• Feed at the same time each day to establish a feeding response. Carnivorous marine fish learn feeding routines quickly. A consistent daily feeding window reduces stress-driven aggression in multi-species tanks because fish begin to anticipate food without competing preemptively.
• Do not leave the 160g container open between feedings. Marine fish food absorbs humidity quickly, which softens the pellet and makes accurate portion control harder over time. Reseal after every feeding; keep the container away from direct light near the tank.
• Use a turkey baster for precise placement in tanks with territorial carnivores. Broadcast feeding in a tank with a dominant grouper or trigger can result in subordinate fish being shut out entirely. A baster lets you direct pellets to specific zones and ensure all fish in the system receive an adequate portion.
