Flakes are very small. Now looking for another brand.
The flakes are small and hard so they sink pretty quickly. My platys suck flakes in and spit them out over and over dropping most of it to the gravel. The ingredients are pretty good for the price but that's not worth much when I have to be twice as meticulous when I feed my fish.
I tried this food and I love that the colors on the fish are more vibrant.
