Best slow-sinking micro pellets
Perfect size for my Japanese rice fish and can be ground into a finer dust for fry. Fish seem to like the taste and a little goes a long way. Sinks slowly and doesn't gunk up the filter.

Amazing Staple Fish Food for Community Aquarium
If you have small tropical community fish, look no further for the perfect fish food. I've went through several types of fish food prior to trying these and couldn't be happier. I have a mix of barbs, danios, and an apisto in my tank and they absolutely go crazy for these pellets. These don't cloud up the water and sink somewhat quickly on their own giving fish an opportunity to pick at them at the surface and on the way down as they sink slowly. If you have smaller fish or juveniles, all you have to do is crush some of these up in between your fingers to create tiny little bite size pieces for them. This is my staple fish food that I feed once daily and haven't had any issues. No water cloudiness or ammonia spikes. Highly recommend.

A quality food, but I’ve found slightly better.
Fish like it. Color and uniformity is good. Good size for my tetras and rasboras. But there are some fillers. Micro-coating locks in nutrients and probably makes more shelf stable. Pink color may trigger better feeding response. For my fish tanks, I have switched recently ultra-fresh guppy micropellets. They float longer (unlike slow-sinking) which is ideal for surface-feeding guppies (thus the name). But I like it for mid level feeders too, as it does drift down, just more slowly, giving fish more time to consume with less loss to gravel. And it has zero fillers. Significant insect content mimics natural diet. My fish love it, although I can’t say any more than Hikari. Hikari micro-pellets are slightly larger than ultra-fresh micropellets. Color and size makes Hikari suitable for any fish .75”- 3”. Both micro-pellet brands are superior to “cheap” flakes that sometimes have abundant filler, and can be dropped too large or too small (ie., flake powder) to be eaten easily/efficiently. All in all, a good quality choice for your fish.

Alimento genérico excelente para espécies pequenas.
Um dos principais alimentos que dou aos meus peixes. Os peixes mantêm-se saudáveis, com cores bonitas e gostam da comida. Os camarões também gostam bastante. Apesar de procurar diversificar a alimentação dos peixes com comida congelada, fresca e viva, sinto que este alimento de ração é um importante suporte.

Wrong package size
The page says multiple times that it is a bundle of two 45 g packages, but I received two packages of 22 g.

My chili rasboras love them
I bought these to feed my chili rasboras as other pallets were a little too big for them. My fish (and prawns) absolutely love them. I would recommend for micro fish. They are semi-floating and don't stay on top for very long, so ideal for mid water fish. Given they sink after a while, they may require a bit of patience when feeding to ensure you don't overfeed and pollute the tank. i would be buying again.

Fish so healthy with this food.
I have used this fish food for many years in a tropical tank with differnt speices. Compaired to other foods ive tryed though years. Id always gone back to this, so kept to it as so good. The tails and fins are so healthy also the colours on the fish so vivid and most impotrant is the overall health of the fish since using this and keeping to it . A bonous is it helps to keep water clear if used correctly. Ive Had many comments on fish in tank how they look. Even when had other fish go in to tank ,can see differnce in them aswell after a while. Twin pack saves money aswell.

Fish like this food, great for smaller tropical fish.
I was weary whether my fish would adapt to this food instead of flakes, currently the flake food i used left a lot of surface film, so I wanted to try pellets instead, these pellets are pretty small which are great for my smaller tropical fish, and these don't seem to affect water quality too much.
