PRIMARY KRILL is a balanced diet formulated with easily assimilated
proteins that assure your cichlids receive all the essential ingredients
for maintaining overall health and beauty. Coupled with a unique
manufacturing process designed to maximize nutrition, PRIMARY KRILL
is enhanced with generous amount of Antarctic krill, calcium
montmorillonite clay, garlic and natural sources of vitamins C and E,
and minerals essential for growth, color, and healing of skin blemishes
and abrasions. The krill and shrimp content is helpfull in maintaining
yellow and red colors, however, for blue colored cichlids PRIMARY KRILL
is best when used in conjunction with one of our spirulina formulas.
As in all Dainichi foods, there is calcium montmorillonite clay
to simulate the natural ingestion of mineral particles
and to bind and neutralize metabolic toxins. Raw, fully
potent vitamins, digestive enzymes and garlic ensure
that the fish are healthy and free of internal parasites. Furthermore,
the scouring action of the clay enhances continuous rejuvenation of the digestive tract which when combined with only two sources of starch (flour as binder and wheat germ as a source of vitamin E and B) ensures the maximum rate of digestion and assimilation of nutrients.
White fish meal, wheat germ, wheat flour, krill, shrimp, soybean meal,  brewer’s yeast, calcium montmorillonite clay, powdered milk, vitamin mix, mineral mix, garlic, protease and natural gum.

Feed your fish only as much as they will eat (immediately) in a few minutes, 2 to 4 times daily. Smaller, more frequent feeding are preferred over a single large one. Do not pre-soak the food prior use! Pre-soaking washes out vitamins, color enhancers, other nutrients, and lowers the performance of the food. All Dainichi foods have a low inclusion of starches to prevent excessive swelling in the digestive tract. Pre-soaking of Dainichi cichlid food is absolutely not required nor beneficial!
 
Carnivorous cichlids like Julidochromis marlieri relish the krill pellets, and with only white, yellow, and black colors, spirulina is strictly optional. With PRIMARY KRILL making up a substantial portion of the diet, even 12" female 'Mpimbwe' frontosa can be reared without much difficulty.
Primary Krill can be used in conjunction with a spirulina formula like COLOR SUPREME to groom some fine looking  yellow labs. The high combined krill content not only produces a rich yellow color but also is responsible for superior growth. These two males are over 5" in length.
