Bottom feeders like them... once they finally sink
By Indigo on Feb 3, 2019 Top 1000 Contributor
I'm used to this sort of food sinking very quickly, giving the bottom feeders, for which it is intended, a chance to eat it. But these rounds tend to float, then disintegrate as fish swimming near the surface start to nibble on them. Not much reaches its intended target but what does that is largely intact is eaten so plecos and loaches do like them as long as they can reach them before they fall apart. Doubt I will purchase again as there are other brands that do sink quickly.

Aqueon Algae Rounds
By Chris on Mar 5, 2018
Fan catfish and two clown fish have been eating them for about 5 years now I found it's the best thing available over years of trying other products. My complaints are they're pricey and occasionally get a package where the pellets will not sink.

Neat treats
By Jennifer on Mar 10, 2018
If they don’t sink just tap them with your finger and they will go right under.

smelly water
By GSP24 on May 23, 2017 Top 500 Contributor
While the algae eaters seemed to like this product I did not. I put some in the tank before bed and the next morning the living room smelt like a sewer (just my description). I didn't know what it was from at first until I put some in my algae eater tank in a back bedroom and the next day it smelt just as bad. While the algae eaters seemed to like the product I can't deal with the horrible smelling water. It went away a day later! And against what the product states, the water did turn green for a couple of day. I was using another brand and while the water might get a hint of an odor from the wafer its nothing like these. I'll be going back to the other brand. Sorry plecos, I know you like them While the algae eaters seemed to like this product I did not.

Don't immediately sink
By Linda66 on Jun 17, 2016
These rounds are a little small for my large fish (I have a 120 gallon tank), but my main issue is that they will often float before sinking. This prevents me from dropping them into a specific location within my tank. If you don't care that they float, this product is fine--the fish definitely seem to like them and Aqueon is good quality.
