Vitalis Algae Flakes 40 g — Herbivore Food for Marine Reef Fish - Vitalis

Vitalis Algae Flakes are a complete flake food for herbivorous tropical marine fish in a reef aquarium.

These are flakes, not pellets. According to the page published by Vitalis, Algae Flakes deliver a palatable, highly digestible and balanced feed, and are a complete pet food for fish — a staple diet, in other words, not a supplement.

Which fish they are for

Vitalis aims Algae Flakes at all herbivorous tropical marine fish and names them explicitly: clownfish, rabbitfish, angelfish, butterflyfish, surgeonfish, damselfish and wrasse.

Deliberately large flakes, meant to be crushed

Vitalis makes its flakes large on purpose, so the choice happens at feeding time: you crush them to suit the size and number of fish in the tank. A large surgeonfish takes the whole flake; for damsels, you crumble it between your fingers. One product adapts to the whole stocking list.

Numeric composition: what we will not publish

Vitalis does not publish a numeric guaranteed analysis for Algae Flakes on its product page. A table of percentages used to sit on this listing: it did not come from the manufacturer, so we removed it. If you need the exact figures, write to us — we will read them off the tub in the store rather than copy a number found elsewhere.
