These animals need a meat-based diet high in protein and amino acids. Generic fish food can leave them short of nutrients and can cause digestion problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sticks are made from fish, molluscs, and crustaceans so they supply digestible animal protein for growth and tissue repair. They sink quickly, which lets bottom-dwellers feed on the substrate without competing at the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-protein sinking sticks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fish, molluscs, and crustaceans for a meat-based diet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Astaxanthin and red pepper extract to support pigmentation in dark and light axolotl morphs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImmunity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Includes beta-glucan to support natural defences.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVitamins and minerals:\u003c\/strong\u003e Balanced vitamins (including A, D3, C, and E) and microelements for normal development.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCleaner water:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sticks hold together in the water instead of crumbling straight away, which helps limit ammonia spikes and cloudiness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWater and system compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Freshwater aquariums only.
