slow sinking

Absolutely false. They sink like stones, and fish don't have time to eat them. They sink to the bottom and pollute the water. Not recommended.

I should have read more closely to find out these were not the floating variety which I find important for my Cichlids. They are outdoors in a pond and I cannot tell if they eat all the pellets when they sink. They do like them, when they find them!
