My scooter blenny will eat them quite readily, really chows down on them as a matter of fact. They are a bit flattish and sink slower than some other brands of pellets, I prefer them for that reason. All of my small fish eat them readily, with the exception of my Madarin who only eats frozen and live. Darts, clowns, goby blenny, etc. **Q: Can firefish and royal grammas eat these? I'm trying not to go with frozen food because it's too much of a hastle with the freezer, thawing, etc.** A: My dartfiah love it, can't tell you about the gramma though. Don't totally rule out frozen food. Even if you don't want to feed it all the time every other day or so when you have time would be a good thing. I use PE mysis and LRS reef frenzy. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hikari Marine-S Pellets Fish Food for Smaller Marine Fish - Hikari Usa Inc AHK25312 Seaweed extreme 3.52-Ounce - Hikari Marine-A Pellets Fish Food for Larger Marine Fish, 3.87 oz (110g) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/5570418-marine-s-slow-sinking-pellet-food-for-smaller-saltwater-fish](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/5570418-marine-s-slow-sinking-pellet-food-for-smaller-saltwater-fish) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-06*
