### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My eel and loach really enjoy these pellets
*by A***A on October 8, 2025*

My eel and loach love the Aqueon Shrimp Pellets! They sink quickly, making it easy for bottom feeders to get their share. The pellets have a stronger smell than some other foods, but it’s not overwhelming or unpleasant. They are small in size, which is perfect for bottom feeding animals. Overall, a great choice if you have bottom-dwelling fish or aquatic pets that enjoy shrimp-based food. Would definitely recommend, it is a great price for the value.
