Overfeeding, low palatability, and low quality lead to unconsumed or poorly digested food, which raises the ammonia level in the aquarium, causing cloudy water and even fish death. Do not overfeed. Feed fish twice a day. Feed the amount of food your fish will consume within 3 minutes.

The 2.5oz container does not have the same sized pellets as the 7oz container. My large Cichlids couldn't even see these pellets that are smaller than their eyes. Frog food pellets are larger! I'll probably feed these to the community tank of Platy fish and Zebra Danios.
My Oscars as well as my African Cichlids love this food. Digests well and helps keep the take clear when fed at appropriate amounts
When I feed them anything else they pick at it. But this, they eat like they're starving and haven't eaten in days. Thank you.
The quality of this food is great but was disappointed with a few things. The pellets are not what I would consider large. We have bought large in other brands and they are twice this size. Also, this jar lasts a long time but the one I just received expires 03/20. Seems a little soon! Definitely won't be done with them by then.
Food also looks after water quality. Will buy again!
Floats and easy to clean out if fish doesn't eat. Doesn't leave the tank scummy.
Really love watching the parrot fish eat these. They are really amusing fish when they eat thge pellets.
Am happy, container way larger than anticipated....very pleased. Two fish are too.
