Review: Buon mangime. - Mangime di ottima qualità. I miei pesci lo hanno subito mangiato con avidità. Pellet inadatto a pesci giovani o di piccole dimensioni.
Review: The fish really seem to love it! - I am feeding my son’s fish, and as soon as they see me come in the room, they come up to the tank to eat! Therefore I think they love it! I noticed even the little ones near the bottom seem to love it! It all disappears in a moment! No Kidding! Good size package. Can’t speak to the digestibility or playability. but the fish seem to love it! It also seems to enhance their colors. Highly recommend all Hikari fish products.
