Aqua-Tropica Minifisch-VITAL 2 Flakes 30g is a micro-flake dry food for rasboras and similarly sized nano or mini aquarium fish. It is made for small mouths, quick feeding responses and tidy daily portions, so it is a better fit for tiny community fish than a coarse adult flake.
The exact old product information describes Minifisch-VITAL 2 as micro flakes and a complete food for rasbora species and fish of a similar size. Aqua-Tropica's current mini-fish guidance supports the same feeding principle: fine foods are easier for small fish to take, and small portions help reduce leftovers in nano aquariums.

Who this food suits
Use this food when your fish need a finer flake than a standard community staple. It suits small rasboras and other peaceful nano fish that gather quickly for tiny particles near the surface and upper water. It is also useful in mixed mini-fish aquariums where large flakes break unevenly or leave too much waste.
Do not use it as the only answer for every aquarium. Larger cichlids, big goldfish, specialist bottom feeders and fish with strongly different feeding needs should have food made for their size and diet. Very small fry may need powdered fry food, live foods or other starter foods before they are ready for crushed flakes.
Feeding guide
Feed lightly and watch the fish. Several small portions are better than one heavy feed, especially in small aquariums where leftover food can affect water quality quickly. Offer a tiny pinch, let the fish clear it, then decide whether a second pinch is needed.
If flakes drift past the fish and settle on the substrate, reduce the amount next time. Clean feeding is part of good mini-fish care because nano tanks have less water volume to dilute waste. A dry measuring spoon or clean dry fingers also help keep the tub fresh.
Use in a varied diet
Minifisch-VITAL 2 can sit at the centre of a varied feeding routine for suitable small fish. Rotate it with other tiny foods when appropriate, such as micro granules, colour foods, small frozen foods or species-specific feeds. Variety helps cover different feeding behaviours without overloading the tank.
If you keep shy fish, feed in two very small passes. Confident fish take the first pass, while quieter fish often move in once the first rush settles. This is gentler than one large cloud of food and makes it easier to see whether everyone is eating.
Storage and freshness
Keep the food sealed between uses and store it away from aquarium spray, condensation and direct sun. Dry food stays at its best when moisture stays out of the container. The 30g size is useful for small aquariums because it is easier to finish while the food is still fresh.

FAQ
What fish is Minifisch-VITAL 2 best for?
It is best for rasboras and similarly sized nano or mini community fish that can take micro flakes comfortably.
How often should I feed nano fish with this food?
Use several small portions rather than one heavy feed. Offer only what the fish eat quickly so leftovers do not build up.
Can I use it for Endler guppies?
Yes, Endler-type livebearers that can take fine flakes can use this food as part of a varied routine.
Is this suitable for fry?
Only for fry large enough to take crushed micro flakes. Very small fry usually need powdered or live starter foods first.
Can this be the only food?
It can be a staple for suitable small fish, but rotating with other tiny foods is usually better for variety.
Is this sent as livestock?
No. This is dry fish food, so it ships as a standard dry-goods order rather than as livestock.
