Vitalis Marine Pellets — the whole-fish-meal marine pellet

Vitalis Marine Pellets deliver a palatable, highly digestible balanced feed — a complete food for marine fish. Their unique marine-protein formulation incorporates whole fish meal and a tailored blend of molluscs and crustaceans.

Like every Vitalis pellet, they are soft for ease of digestion and designed to sink slowly in the water, encouraging a natural feeding experience. Pellet size: 1 mmØ.

Which fish it feeds

Formulated for all tropical marine fish, including: clownfish, angelfish, butterflyfish, gobies, damselfish, wrasse, parrotfish, hawkfish and pufferfish.

The rotation with the Platinum range

The manufacturer designed Marine Pellets to be used in rotation with its Platinum range to maintain peak health and condition: Marine Pellets as the daily staple, Platinum Marine Pellets to periodically reinforce immune support. For the tank's herbivores, Algae Pellets round out the menu.

Which size: 140 g or 260 g?

The 140 g for a community tank fed daily; the 260 g costs less per gram — the pick for a large tank or a full population. Vitalis also lists 70 g and 1.8 kg pots.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between Marine Pellets and Platinum?

Marine Pellets are the whole-fish-meal complete staple; the Platinum range carries that nutrition and adds immune-support ingredients. The manufacturer designed them for rotation, with Platinum periodically reinforcing the regular menu.

Is the 1 mm size right for larger fish?

Yes — the 1 mmØ pellet suits all tropical marine fish; bigger fish simply take several at a time.

Why soft, slow-sinking pellets?

The soft texture makes digestion easier, and the slow descent through the water column encourages the natural feeding behaviour fish show on the reef.
