Dymax Seaweed Blend Flake Fish Food, 20g

Seaweed-First Marine Flake Food for Herbivorous Reef Fish

The Dymax Seaweed Blend Flakes (20g) is a marine flake food built around the dietary needs of herbivorous and omnivorous reef fish. Seaweed leads the ingredient list, followed by algae and spirulina — three plant-based ingredients before the first animal protein appears. That ordering reflects what the formula is designed to do: provide the plant-heavy dietary content that strict marine herbivores like tangs, blennies, and rabbitfish require as the foundation of their diet, supplemented by the animal protein that supports omnivorous species in the same reef system.

Dymax specifically calls out Vitamin C as a highlight ingredient in the Seaweed Blend formula. Consistent, adequate Vitamin C is important for marine herbivores in captivity, where nutrient deficiencies from an overly simplified diet are associated with immune suppression and conditions like HLLE in surgeonfish. The flakes float on the water surface and are easily crumbled, matching the surface and mid-column grazing behavior of the species this food targets. At 20g, the container is sized for small reef tanks or for hobbyists who rotate Seaweed Blend alongside a protein-based pellet and only need a small supply of each food to stay fresh.

Key Features:

• Seaweed-first marine flake food — seaweed, algae, and spirulina all appear before the first animal protein
• Formulated specifically for herbivorous and omnivorous marine fish
• Extremely rich in Vitamin C (as L-Ascorbate-2-Phosphate) to support immune function in marine herbivores
• Promotes natural coloration through β-carotenoid and the plant pigment stack
• Floating flake format suits the surface and mid-column grazing behavior of tangs, blennies, and rabbitfish
• Easily crumbled for smaller species or when smaller flake sizes are needed
• Garlic extract included for palatability and feeding stimulation
• 33% protein appropriate for herbivore-focused nutrition; plant ingredients lead the formula
• β-Glucan immune support; Bacillus Subtilis probiotic for digestive health
• No artificial colors, preservatives, or harmful additives; strict quality control
• 20g / 180ml container for small tanks and multi-food rotation programs

Ideal For:

• Small reef tanks with one or two tangs, blennies, or rabbitfish where seaweed-based food is part of the rotation but not the sole daily food
• Marine hobbyists testing the Seaweed Blend formula alongside a pellet before committing to the larger 50g supply
• Reef keepers who feed Seaweed Blend on alternating days with the Marine Superior Pellet and only need a small container to keep it fresh between uses

Pro Tips:

• Pair Seaweed Blend with a protein-based pellet for complete nutrition. The 33% protein level is intentional for herbivore-appropriate nutrition, but tangs and even blennies still need some animal protein in their diet. Rotating Seaweed Blend with the Dymax Marine Superior Pellet on alternating feedings covers both the plant and animal sides of the diet without oversupplying either.
• Crumble the flake before adding it to a nano or small reef tank. A full-size flake can be challenging for smaller blennies or juvenile tangs. Pinching the flake between your fingers before dropping it reduces the particle size without requiring a separate food purchase.
• Introduce during lights-on when reef fish are most active. Marine herbivores naturally graze throughout the day when the reef is lit. Feeding Seaweed Blend at the start of the photoperiod when fish are actively swimming encourages the best feeding response and reduces the amount that sinks uneaten.
