Feeding South American Cichlids with PREMUM DAILY FOOD

Discus, Altuma and other South American cichlids are exceptional fish – not only because of their beauty, but also because of their high health and nutritional requirements. To ensure their long life in good condition, it is necessary not only to take care of the water quality, but also to offer high-quality food , such as PREMUM DAILY FOOD granules , which are a solid basis for a balanced diet. In this article, we will discuss how to enrich their diet with essential nutrients and natural additives, based on this food.

1. PREMUM DAILY FOOD – the foundation of healthy eating

PREMUM DAILY FOOD granules are food developed for demanding tropical species. They are distinguished by:

• high digestibility,

• low ash content,

• a balanced amount of animal and plant protein,

• the presence of natural additives such as spirulina or garlic.

Why granulates?
The granules sink slowly, making them ideal for fish with a calm feeding style, such as discus and altum. They also have the advantage of absorbing liquid supplements perfectly – making them an ideal carrier for vitamins and additives.

2. Vitamin supplementation – strengthening from the inside

Although PREMUM DAILY FOOD contains a vitamin complex, in periods of increased demand (e.g. stress, convalescence, spawning) it is worth additionally enriching the diet with vitamin preparations.

How to do it?
➡️ Simply soak the granules in a few drops of a liquid vitamin preparation (e.g. with vitamin C, E, B12) for 5–10 minutes before serving. This treatment increases the fish's immunity and supports their regeneration.

3. Minerals – discreet but essential

PREMUM DAILY FOOD provides adequate amounts of microelements such as zinc, iron and magnesium, which are crucial for the proper metabolism and health of fish living in soft waters.

For whom especially?
➡️ Altumas and young discus fish growing intensively need easily assimilable calcium and phosphorus – PREMUM DAILY FOOD ensures their optimal level without the risk of mineral overload in soft water.

4. Protein – optimal and easily digestible

Thanks to its well-thought-out composition, PREMUM DAILY FOOD offers high-quality animal and vegetable protein (including spirulina and krill), adapted to the needs of carnivorous and omnivorous fish. The granules do not contain unnecessary fillers that would burden the digestive system.

Advantages for cichlids:

• they do not cause flatulence or fermentation in the intestines,

• support tissue growth and reconstruction,

• ensure the proper condition of breeding and exhibition fish.

5. Omega-3 and healthy fats – beauty and immunity

PREMUM DAILY FOOD granulates contain good quality fats , including oils rich in omega-3 acids . These unsaturated fatty acids:

• support the functioning of the nervous system,

• improve the appearance of skin and scales,

• have anti-inflammatory effects and support immunity.

6. Natural additives – immunity from nature

PREMUM DAILY FOOD contains natural ingredients that support immunity, such as:

• Garlic – a natural antibiotic, improves appetite and fights parasites.

• Spirulina – a source of chlorophyll, microelements and easily digestible protein.

• Beta-glucan – a polysaccharide from yeast that activates immune cells.

These additives not only improve immunity, but also give the fish beautiful, intense coloration.
