"I am not a fish."My fry grow out quickly with vibrant colours. However when I opened the box one of the containers did not have a lid. My larger fish eat it just as readily as the smaller fish. Give them what they need for life and they will live happily. My neon tetras, mollies, platys, and tiger barbs love this stuff and they devour it. Beta fish response to this product is less intersted as compared to bug bites. This food seems to do better for the outside fish.

Hartz 4332401517 Final Thoughts
"Highly recommended!"The flakes are easy to break up in your fingers for small little mouths if needed. My neon tetras, mollies, platys, and tiger barbs love this stuff and they devour it. My 20+ female and male bettas prefer these crisps to other foods. I bought the 7oz container which is a lot of fish food. Its a myth that petstore gold fish die after the first weekend. The container looks like the one I'd just finished so I bought it. The flakes are consistently mostly big, so it's not a big bucket of duff at all.

Hartz Goldfish Flakes with Probiotics First Impressions
"This can is HUGE!"This might be a pro or a con, depending on the type of fish you have. The food is very nutritious and fish food isn't just fish food. Kind of seems like junk food but the fish all love it. It keeps the fish healthy and colorful. I can't use it in tanks where the majority of the fish feed at the surface. I have been using this stuff for a couple of years without a problem. I expressed my frustration at the fish store, and they recommended these granules.

Hartz Goldfish Flakes with Probiotics Final Thoughts
"Great price."The Goldfish Flake is their favorite snack in the morning and evening. Best of luck to everyone and stay safe and healthy. My neon tetras, mollies, platys, and tiger barbs love this stuff and they devour it. For whatever reason, my fish have never been much attracted to pellet food. My 20+ female and male bettas prefer these crisps to other foods. I work long hours and don't always have time to feed my fish on a regular schedule. I had tried flake food in an automatic feeder which was a total disaster.

"This is great fish food."Some feed at the surface and some feed toward the bottom of the tanks. I have been using TetraMin Tropical Flakes to feed guppies for over a dozen years. Don't hesitate, get it before you can't. I also keep the pond heater at 73 to 74 degrees all winter. The fish have grown beautifully, rich in color and very healthy. This Tetra style food doesn't do either of those things. I bought the 7oz container which is a lot of fish food.

"They love it."My 20+ female and male bettas prefer these crisps to other foods. In particular, they attack the red-colored flakes. If you have picky fish, the texture and flavor might be a little challenging. Our fish tell us every morning in sign language how much they like your flakes. I like how the packaging can be resealed. I have been using TetraMin Tropical Flakes to feed guppies for over a dozen years. Lesson learned, but this will work for now.

"Our fish love this food."I have a number of freshwater aquariums with a wide variety of fish. 06 oz size, which is very economical, and then transfer them to my smaller 2. I can only get little one in local stores for alot more money. I STRONGLY recommend you to open the bag IN ONE CORNER with scissors. I can't use it in tanks where the majority of the fish feed at the surface. Much better price than at the big box pet store. It also seems to create less waste than other brands, which keeps my tank cleaner.

Penn-Plax PBV3 First Impressions
"He didn't eat them day 1."I went to a different Petco and found the right brand and brought it home. They float well, so he can play more. I accidentally purchased this thinking it was flake food. Best of luck to everyone and stay safe and healthy. The flakes are consistently mostly big, so it's not a big bucket of duff at all. I work long hours and don't always have time to feed my fish on a regular schedule. I have been using TetraMin brand for 20 of those years.
- Penn-Plax Pro Balance Vacation Fish Feeder – Slow Release Food That’s Great for Weekend Vacays: 1 Block Feeds up to 3 Days (4 Blocks per Package) – Safe for Freshwater & Saltwater Tanks
- GREAT FOR WEEKEND VACAYS: Worried about finding a fish-sitter as you plan for your next weekend getaway or adventure? Or, whenever or not they’ll overfeed your fish? Fear no more! Our Pro Balance Vacation Fish Feeder Blocks will feed your fish while you’re away. Each block feeds to up 3 days, and each package contains 4 Starfish Shape Blocks.
- IDEAL FOR 10 – 15 GALLON TANKS: Our Fish Feeder Blocks work best in aquariums that are between 10 and 15 Gallons in size. One block will last 3 to 4 days depending on the PH level and water temperature. A minimum water temperature of 72°F (22°C) and PH level of 6.6 to 7.0 is most efficient for the release of food particles.
- REQUIRES AERATION & CIRCULATION: Within hours, our Feeder Blocks will start to dissolve, releasing nutritious freeze-dried foods while neutralizing your aquarium’s water. In order for this to happen, your tank should have the proper aeration and circulation. Our Feeder Blocks dissolve normally with setups that have an air stone or filter.
- GIVE IT A TRY BEFORE YOUR TRIP: Just like us, our fish can get picky over their food. As a suggestion, you may want to place 1 Feeder Block in your tank a week before your vacation or trip. This way, you’ll see if they like it or not. To take it a step further, you may want to leave the tank alone as you test our Feed Blocks, mimicking the trip.
- INGREDIENTS: Calcium Sulfate, Freeze-Dried Tubifex Worm, Freeze-Dried Bloodworm, Freeze-Dried Daphnia, Freeze-Dried White Shrimp, Thiamine Mononitrate (Source of Vitamin B1), and Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Source of Vitamin B6).

"It seems to do just fine."I can only get little one in local stores for alot more money. I have a number of freshwater aquariums with a wide variety of fish. Who would've thought 7 ounces of fish food is so much. I picked a similar flake food and brought it home and tossed it in the pond. The flakes inside the bucket come inside a sturdy bag. To put it in perspective, its about 6 inches tall and 3 inches wide! I have a sorority of 7 bettas, and they love this food.

"Feeding frenzy!"Nice that some float and other sink so all the fish have a chance to feed. I've had backyard goldfish ponds over the last 30 years at three different homes. Meaning it's overfilled for the better! My catfish love them, so it isn't a problem for me. My son in law feeds this exclusively and he said his fish love it as well. Truth is though, my fish prefer this fish food to many others I've tried. I've also now have a number of very plump bottom feeders.
