"All I can say is."

Then, fill a separate smaller container for daily use. I'm currently feeding Mollies, Platys, Neons, Swordtails and Dwarf gouramis. I've also now have a number of very plump bottom feeders. During almost all of that time I've fed my fish TetraFin goldfish food. Truth is though, my fish prefer this fish food to many others I've tried. They work perfectly in the automatic feeder. For those that own fish you know how expensive it can be.

Cobalt Aquatics 30354 Final Thoughts

"I highly recommend!"

It comes in a large container and I know we will never need fish food again. I have a few dozens of goldfish in a small pond. This works well for me for the last decade and saves me money on bulk purchasing. Then, fill a separate smaller container for daily use. I will purchase again in the far future, since I now have over two pounds. They won't have to work for it like I did. I expressed my frustration at the fish store, and they recommended these granules.

2. Cobalt Aquatics MODEL-23064 1 Piece Ultra Spirulina Flake Fish Food, Large/2 lb

Cobalt Aquatics MODEL-23064 First Impressions

"I buy the large 7."

It feeds my pond and two tanks, happy fish! This food seems to do better for the outside fish. I accidentally purchased this thinking it was flake food. It also seems to create less waste than other brands, which keeps my tank cleaner. I've been buying TetraMin fish food as long as I can remember. That way, you don't expose the flakes to humidity or spills. I'd tried various flaked food, bloodworms, brine, and even live baby earthworms.

Cobalt Aquatics MODEL-23064 Final Thoughts

"Works very good."

The container looks like the one I'd just finished so I bought it. I have a number of freshwater aquariums with a wide variety of fish. My larger fish eat it just as readily as the smaller fish. I looked carefully inside the small shipping box but did not find the missing lid. They won't have to work for it like I did. Nope, it is pretty big, which means my community 55-gallon tank has food for years! Please be good to each other people.

"This jar is big mind you."

Overall, this is a good product for a good price. Much better price than at the big box pet store.

Northfin 89401 First Impressions

"Thank you!"

I can only get little one in local stores for alot more money. They anxiously wait with signs waiting for it always. It is well worth the money especially for the size. But my Rams tend to be finicky eaters, and they pig out on this stuff. I also keep the pond heater at 73 to 74 degrees all winter. I'm currently feeding Mollies, Platys, Neons, Swordtails and Dwarf gouramis. I'll definitely keep buying the TetraFin flakes.

Northfin 89401 Final Thoughts

"My goldfish loved these."

I will purchase again in the far future, since I now have over two pounds. Our fish tell us every morning in sign language how much they like your flakes. If you have a lot of fish, it works well. I also keep the pond heater at 73 to 74 degrees all winter. The flakes absorb the moisture in the air, cake up, and clog the feeder. I picked a similar flake food and brought it home and tossed it in the pond. Inevitably I ran out of the flakes and went to purchase the same product.

"All I can say is."

I looked carefully inside the small shipping box but did not find the missing lid. Kind of seems like junk food but the fish all love it. I tried a different brand for a week, and then bought a new bottle of this food. Beta fish response to this product is less intersted as compared to bug bites. I STRONGLY recommend you to open the bag IN ONE CORNER with scissors. I'm currently feeding Mollies, Platys, Neons, Swordtails and Dwarf gouramis. Truth is though, my fish prefer this fish food to many others I've tried.

Zoo Med Final Thoughts

"You should buy this."

This might be a pro or a con, depending on the type of fish you have. I have tried to transition them to pellets but they love the flakes and ignore them. Our giant plecos absolutely love this stuff! They are loving more this product more than flakes. For those that own fish you know how expensive it can be. The fish seem to not care about the switch either way. I bought a house last year and inherited some fish in a pond.

"They are also growing."

They keep having babies so they must be happy lol. Meaning it's overfilled for the better! Lesson learned, but this will work for now. My wife has raised her goldfish on Tetra goldfish flakes from day one. Its a myth that petstore gold fish die after the first weekend. Its a myth that petstore gold fish die after the first weekend.

"Great deal."

I received my order today as promised and the shipping box was sealed and undamaged. They are loving more this product more than flakes. I work long hours and don't always have time to feed my fish on a regular schedule. My fry grow out quickly with vibrant colours.

"Point taken."

I went to a different Petco and found the right brand and brought it home. I have been using TetraMin Tropical Flakes to feed guppies for over a dozen years. We've tried most of the brands too.

Betta fins make them slow, so they need something a little sturdier sometimes.
