Fauna Marin Veggie Flakes is a high-quality flake food specifically developed for herbivorous marine and freshwater fish. This specialized formula is packed with seven different types of seaweed, including Kelp, Spirulina, and Porphyra, providing a complex mineral and vitamin profile that mimics a natural grazing diet. It is designed to be highly digestible, ensuring that your fish receive maximum nutrition while minimizing metabolic waste that can lead to high phosphate and nitrate levels.
Veggie Flakes are engineered to support the long-term health and color of grazing species like Tangs, Blennies, and herbivorous Cichlids.
Seven-Seaweed Blend: Provides a diverse range of fibers, minerals, and trace elements that a single-source algae food cannot offer.
Rich in Raw Proteins & Oils: Unlike many "veggie" foods that are low in energy, these flakes include high-quality marine oils to support healthy growth and fat reserves.
Intensifies Natural Color: Naturally occurring pigments in the seaweed blend help to maintain and enhance the vibrant yellows, greens, and blues of reef fish.
Low-Phosphate Formulation: High digestibility means fewer nutrients are leached into the water, helping to prevent the growth of nuisance hair algae.
Optimal Texture: The flakes are thin and easy for fish to tear, making them suitable for a wide range of fish sizes from small juveniles to large adults.
Which fish species is this best for? It is ideal for Tangs, Surgeonfish, Rabbitfish, Blennies, and Angelfish in marine tanks, as well as Tropheus and other African Cichlids in freshwater setups.
How often should I feed Veggie Flakes? Feed 1 to 2 times daily, only providing what the fish can consume within 2 minutes. For grazing fish, smaller, more frequent feedings are better than one large meal.
Can I mix this with other foods? Yes. While this is a complete diet, rotating it with Fauna Marin Soft Clownfish or Marine Base pellets can provide a more varied nutritional profile for omnivorous tanks.
Seachem GarlicGuard: If your Tangs are hesitant to eat new foods, soaking these flakes in garlic can significantly increase the feeding response.
FirstBite Veggie Pellets: If you prefer a sinking pellet format for bottom-dwellers, these offer a similar seaweed-rich profile.
