all around AMAZING!!!
|
|
Cons:
|
.....none that I have found yet
|
This is, in my opinion, THE best pellet food available for small tropical fish. of course, you must still feed occasional freeze-dried or frozen foods, as well as other supllements, as with any food, but this is an amazing staple.
I use it in all of my tanks, and I have found it to be the best. No downsides that I can find yet. The packaging keeps it fresh longer, and it is a pellet so there is no risk of it clogging fish intestines like flake foods may do.
I highly recommend this product.

My GBRs hang out at the top of the tank for feeds, ever since I started feeding this. My tetras chase it all over the tank. The corys seem to enjoy hovering up any that makes it to the gravel too!! 100% recommend this product for all small community fish!!!

Great for small fish as an alternative to flake. Hikari is a very trusted brand and I've had nothing but good experiences with their foods.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):
|
eaten eagerly, won't get stuck in fish's mouth like some bigger pellets
|
|
Cons:
|
still too big for baby/micro fish
|
This is a great staple for fish 1 inch and bigger. It is eaten eagerly by all the fish I gave it to and the pygmy cories I have love it. The only problem I have with it is micro rasboras and other fish under an inch still have trouble eating it. If you have any of these fish, it is best to go with a quick sinking flake.

I’ve used this product for my fry once they start getting a little bigger. They go nuts over this food, more so than other foods that I have tried. One of the best extra small pellet foods out there

Well accepted by my fish
|

Cons:

finding it in the stores!

I got a sample size of these pellets with my sinking wafers for my bottom feeders..... The fish loved it! It did sink a bit faster than the NLS .5mm size which can be good if you have a variety of fish with some top and some mid-feeders.

Small size, great quality, very popular with the fish
|

Cons:

Sometimes difficult to find in stock

This is hands-down the best fish food I have ever used. I had some picky fish a while back that refused everything until I tried these micro pellets. They are a great size for my tetras, and I love that I can make some float at first and make some sink (by "throwing" them at the surface of the water), which ensures everyone gets a chance to eat.
Comically, my tetras will sometimes spit out the yellow pellets (the "vitamins") and go for the red and green ones first, but eventually they are all eaten before hitting the gravel.

Great staple for smaller fish. Only problem I had was that the pellets are so small that they were getting stuck underneath my fingernails. A minor annoyance which I fixed by using a salt shaker. Problem solved!
