Tropical Mikrovit Basic (baby powder food)

Size: 50ml/32g

MIKROVIT BASIC basic food for fry. Multi-ingredient food for the fry, meticulously crumbled so that small fish can easily eat it. The rich formula based on the best quality ingredients of vegetable and animal origin, including spirulina, krill and squid, satisfy all sophisticated dietary demands of young organisms.
Optimally balanced vitamins and trace elements guarantee proper growth and development of fry, preventing all irreversible damages which may be caused by the shortage of any of these substances. We recommend creating a diversified menu for the fry. Feeding should be started after the yolk sac disappeared. Feed them with small but frequent portions. Remove uneaten food from the bottom or introduce snails, which will eat the leftovers.

Raising Fry with Mikrovit Basic Powder Food

When a spawn hatches in a Singapore fishroom, the first weeks decide how many fry survive, and a fine powder food removes the biggest hurdle: particle size. We recommend Mikrovit Basic for newly free-swimming fry that are too small for crushed flake. The powder disperses across the water column so tiny mouths can find it without you needing to target-feed every corner of the tank.

Because fry feed almost constantly, little-and-often is the rule. We dose pinches several times a day and keep a sponge filter running gently so the food stays suspended rather than vanishing into the substrate. In our warm climate fry metabolise quickly and grow fast, but that same warmth accelerates water fouling, so pair frequent feeding with daily small water changes to keep ammonia near zero.

Powder works well alongside live foods as fry grow. Explore our general fish food selection, and lean on our fry food progression and beginner breeding tank setup guides to plan the whole grow-out cleanly.
