My fish like it
I've used these for years for my bristlenoses, cories, and cherry shrimp. They seem to like these sinking pellets well enough. Even the regular fish in the tank go after them. The 7.9 ounce container is a good size, so it lasts awhile. I'll buy again.

Happy fish is a hungry fish
I'm very pleased with this product. My clown loaches go crazy for this product. I will be purchasing as needed and do recommend it.

Container doesn't ship well
The fish food is good - the fish eat it, leaving almost none. Doesn't cloud the water, and the bottom feeders are healthy. HOWEVER, the thin, flexible plastic container has no inner seal. So when Amazon tosses it into a box with other heavier items, and no padding of any kind, the lid pops off and the pellets are just loose in the box. Or scattered all over the kitchen floor, depending on how you opened the box. API: add an inner seal like Tetra uses, so this won't happen even if the lid comes off in shipping. Amazon: I know you're trying to reduce waste in shipping, but some items really need padding!

Goldfish responded well to these sinking pellets
Needed to isolate one goldfish in a separate container inside a larger one. The floating pellets he was used to would float out of his container into the larger tub. Switched his diet up to these sinking pellets and all is well. He looked a lot better within days of the change.

prima di recensire ho voluto testare l'appetibilità per i miei oranda. E davvero molto gradito e non sporca l'acqua, non ho riscontrato problemi di infiammazioni alla vescica natatoria. Risulta un mangime molto leggero ma ben bilanciato.

They do sink in my tank! They can hover for a bit, but I have found they do sink after a short period of time. I am okay with this as I am feeding a community tank, not just bottom feeders. I received a sealed full bottle of product as described.

Exactly as described. Sinks quickly. Better than flakes.

Fish love it and doesn’t make the water cloudy, sinks quickly so only pour in as much as fish can eat in 5 seconds, then give again
