Product Information
Full details
NT Labs Pro-F Probiotic Tropical is a premium, scientifically developed fish food designed for aquarium hobbyists who want to improve fish health and water quality simultaneously. It is ideal for community tropical fish like tetras, guppies, and angelfish, offering the key benefit of enhanced nutrient absorption through added probiotics. The primary caveat for users is that the high-nutrient formula must be fed sparingly, as overfeeding can lead to excess waste despite the probiotic waste-reducing properties.

FAQs
Can this food be used for all tropical fish?
It is formulated for most common community tropical fish. It may not be suitable for specialized species with specific carnivorous or herbivorous requirements.
Does this replace the need for regular tank cleaning?
No. While the probiotics help reduce waste, regular water changes and filter maintenance remain essential for a healthy aquarium.
How long does the food stay fresh?
If stored in a cool, dry place with the lid sealed, it will remain effective until the printed expiry date.
Are there natural color enhancers in the mix?
Yes, it contains spirulina, krill, and squid meal, which contain natural pigments that support fish coloration.
Can I feed this to my fry?
The granule size is designed for general tropical fish. For very young fry, you may need to crush the granules into a finer powder.
Troubleshooting
Fish are ignoring the food
Ensure the fish are not overfed at previous feedings. Try introducing the food during the active part of the fish's day.
Granules clouding the water
This is almost always a sign of overfeeding. Reduce the amount of food provided per feeding session.
