Used these before, good value, fish enjoyed the pellets especially the bottom feeders like catfish and plecos
My fish live in a stock tank water garden and it's fun to see them get excited and rush to these pellets when I feed them.
they don't float.. that's an issue for some fish. I'm feeding golden dojos. They don't seem to mind. I feed them flakes alternating with these pellets. no one's complaining
I thought that maybe my 5 catfish, and 2 sharks would enjoy having their own food instead of scrounging around searching for scraps left by falling fish food. I sprinkle some at different locations but I've knoticed that my other fish chase the pellets as they fall to the bottom of the tank. Being too big for my platties to eat the pellets eventually melt appart, and looks like dirt on the sand of my tanks. Eventually the cats do find the scrub, along with the snails, and eat it up. But I find it sits too long, and clouds the water leaving an oder to the water.
I feed this to my gold fish in my pond and they love it, especially more that they are bigger and can swallow it. They are about 4-6" long.
I usually buy the Wardley's and have always liked them, but someone told me these are better. I don't see a difference other than the shape. But my I think these are easier to eat for my smaller fish.
My fish, 25 years old, still enjoy these sinking pellets 2 x a day.
What else can I say...my fish go nuts for these sinking treats. They take a second to sink sometimes & they will gobble them up before they drop. I feel like these treats taught my young fish to forage naturally better than they had been and that's a bonus for me. I like a variety of foods for my fish & these sinking treats fit the bill.
Don't know what else to say about it, it's fish food. The fish eat it and it's not smelly.
I don't know how nutritionally complete these are, but I can tell you that my fish, snails, and shrimp all LOVE them. They are an expected part of every feeding session and my fish wait expectantly after the tiny community pellets have been eaten for me to drop in some of the shrimp pellets. Despite the fact these aren't bite-sized for most of my fish, they will toss them up and catch them repeatedly to gather the soft outer layer of pellet before finally swallowing the remainder once it is small enough.
