"My rule of thumb is."

Give them what they need for life and they will live happily. I'm currently feeding Mollies, Platys, Neons, Swordtails and Dwarf gouramis. I accidentally purchased this thinking it was flake food. They are loving more this product more than flakes. My neon tetras, mollies, platys, and tiger barbs love this stuff and they devour it. My Oscar is almost 4 years old and loves it. The container looks like the one I'd just finished so I bought it.

DrTim's Aquatics 772 Final Thoughts

"I am not a fish."

I tried a different brand for a week, and then bought a new bottle of this food. They wouldn't go into detail about anything more. I have a sorority of 7 bettas, and they love this food. Please be good to each other people. I went to a different Petco and found the right brand and brought it home. The flakes absorb the moisture in the air, cake up, and clog the feeder. I have a sorority of 7 bettas, and they love this food.

GloFish 77003 First Impressions

"But that's ok."

I went to a different Petco and found the right brand and brought it home. I have been feeding him every day for 1 week now and he loves to swim and play now. Because apparently my queensland dogs like it and need to participate too. My larger fish eat it just as readily as the smaller fish. I have a few dozens of goldfish in a small pond. They won't have to work for it like I did. I actually only buy their food and fish tank kits.

GloFish 77003 Final Thoughts

"Nice in water holds nice."

It's a peaceful scene those pretty fish enjoying their snack. I had tried flake food in an automatic feeder which was a total disaster. Don't pinch the flakes with your hand. My fry grow out quickly with vibrant colours. They keep having babies so they must be happy lol. I also keep the pond heater at 73 to 74 degrees all winter. Who would've thought 7 ounces of fish food is so much.

Northfin 88402 Final Thoughts

"Our fishes loves it."

Nope, it is pretty big, which means my community 55-gallon tank has food for years! The flakes are consistently mostly big, so it's not a big bucket of duff at all. It feeds my pond and two tanks, happy fish! It comes in a large container and I know we will never need fish food again. The fishes are are healthy, happy and colorful. The flakes absorb the moisture in the air, cake up, and clog the feeder. The food is very nutritious and fish food isn't just fish food.

Tetra 77104 Final Thoughts

"Great deal."

I have tried to transition them to pellets but they love the flakes and ignore them. I've had backyard goldfish ponds over the last 30 years at three different homes. You can't go wrong with Tetra food products. The next day they seemed less interested. I work long hours and don't always have time to feed my fish on a regular schedule. Fish color and health are all good. I have been feeding him every day for 1 week now and he loves to swim and play now.

"I am not a fish."

My larger fish eat it just as readily as the smaller fish. I have been using this product for decades, and it is loved by all my fish. For whatever reason, my fish have never been much attracted to pellet food. This bucket of flakes allow me to feed these guys for 18 months.

"Love these pellets."

But my Rams tend to be finicky eaters, and they pig out on this stuff. I STRONGLY recommend you to open the bag IN ONE CORNER with scissors. This container is a great size for the price. My fry grow out quickly with vibrant colours. Overall a great deal, for great fish food. Many betta foods are floating orbs that have a diameter too large for bettas. They didn't seem to like the stick variety so I tossed it and fed them the flakes.

"And they love it."

Other than that it is a great product and I will continue to buy it for my fish. I received my order today as promised and the shipping box was sealed and undamaged. They anxiously wait with signs waiting for it always. This is a great addition to any feeding regiment for community and betta tanks. Until this, the earthworms were their favorites. I have been using TetraMin Tropical Flakes to feed guppies for over a dozen years. I expressed my frustration at the fish store, and they recommended these granules.
