These are ok.

These Sinking Squid Pellets are ok but know nd of hard to use. My Albino Cory catfish can't eat them until they soak up. (It takes about a half hour to 45 minutes.)

These Sinking Squid Pellets are ok but know nd of hard to use. My Albino Cory catfish can't eat them until they soak up. (It takes about a half hour to 45 minutes.) I use them in the morning along with the fish flakes and eventually they find them and are able to eat them. I expect this one container to last at least a year because of the difficulty they have in eating them.

Good value

This fish food is a good value for bottom feeders. I have a few fish who like to eat off the bottom and they liked this food.

All my fish, not just the bottom feeders, LOVE these pellets. It’s fun to watch my amano shrimp scamper over, grab a pellet and scurry away, and even more fun to watch my betta and tetra try to grab the pellets in their small mouths.
