{"product_id":"fishscience-tropical-granules","title":"FS Tropical Granules","description":"\u003cp\u003eFS Tropical Granules are a slowly sinking, insect-based granule food formulated for mid-water and bottom-feeding tropical fish. Built around insect meal rather than fish meal, this is a feed designed to reflect what these species actually eat in the wild — and to do so in a way that is easier to digest and kinder on water quality. Available in a range of sizes to suit tanks of different scale and stocking levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInsect Meal Foundation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe primary protein source is insect meal, chosen for its digestibility and sustainability over conventional fish meal. This reduces the environmental burden on wild fish stocks while delivering a protein-dense diet that supports fish health. The full composition includes soya flour, herring meal, cereals, yeast, potato starch, fish hydrolysate, molluscs and crustaceans (krill and shrimp), vegetables (paprika and garlic), salmon oil, algae, lecithin, antioxidants, and colourants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNutritional Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtein: 46%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOil: 6.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFibre: 2%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoisture: 8%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsh: 6.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVitamin A: 25,000 IU\/kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVitamin D3: 1,500 IU\/kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVitamin E: 100mg\/kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVitamin C: 450mg\/kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNatural Colour Enhancers\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpirulina algae, paprika, and krill are included as natural colour-enhancing ingredients. These support vibrant colouration without relying on artificial additives, working with the fish's own biology rather than against it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSuitable Species\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe slow-sinking format makes these granules well suited to discus, angelfish, cichlids, barbs, catfish, and loach — species that feed through the water column or along the substrate rather than at the surface. The granules reach the fish where they naturally feed, reducing competition and wasted food.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeeding Guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeed once or twice daily, offering only as much as the fish will consume within one minute. Remove any uneaten food promptly to maintain water quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFS Tropical Granules are available in multiple sizes — choose the option that suits your tank size and the number of fish you are keeping. Whether you are stocking a smaller community setup or a larger species tank, there is a quantity that works without unnecessary waste.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peregrine","offers":[{"title":"50g","offer_id":54176427311441,"sku":"1FFT123","price":3.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"120g","offer_id":54176427344209,"sku":"1FFT125","price":6.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"240g","offer_id":54176427376977,"sku":"1FFT127","price":12.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/fishscience-tropical-granules","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
