"He didn't eat them day 1."

Some feed at the surface and some feed toward the bottom of the tanks. The flakes are easy to break up in your fingers for small little mouths if needed. They anxiously wait with signs waiting for it always. I picked a similar flake food and brought it home and tossed it in the pond. I tried a different brand for a week, and then bought a new bottle of this food. It's super fresh, and the tight seal on the lid makes its longevity stretch.

"I did not taste the food."

Inevitably I ran out of the flakes and went to purchase the same product. The Goldfish Flake is their favorite snack in the morning and evening. It also seems to create less waste than other brands, which keeps my tank cleaner. They keep having babies so they must be happy lol. I tried a different brand for a week, and then bought a new bottle of this food. Much better price than at the big box pet store. This food seems to do better for the outside fish.

If you have a lot of fish, it works well. Doesn't cloudy my tank up, extra dissolves without any problems. When I purchased this food, I thought it was the small container.

"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.

"I indicted Tetra Min."

My neon tetras, mollies, platys, and tiger barbs love this stuff and they devour it. My fish liked it from the start, and TetraFin has kept improving it over the years. I also use subscribe and save for monthly deliveries so this food is a keeper for me. Nope, it is pretty big, which means my community 55-gallon tank has food for years! The flakes absorb the moisture in the air, cake up, and clog the feeder. My 20+ female and male bettas prefer these crisps to other foods. I had tried flake food in an automatic feeder which was a total disaster.

Easy Reefs Final Thoughts

"No Koi lost as of yet."

Kind of seems like junk food but the fish all love it. During almost all of that time I've fed my fish TetraFin goldfish food. My son in law feeds this exclusively and he said his fish love it as well. This bucket of flakes allow me to feed these guys for 18 months. They come out of their hiding spots almost as soon as it hits the water. They didn't seem to like the stick variety so I tossed it and fed them the flakes. I have been using TetraMin brand for 20 of those years.

"Nice in water holds nice."

Meaning it's overfilled for the better! I can only get little one in local stores for alot more money. Beta fish response to this product is less intersted as compared to bug bites. Our giant plecos absolutely love this stuff! That way, you don't expose the flakes to humidity or spills. I have been using TetraMin Tropical Flakes to feed guppies for over a dozen years. I have used this brand and fish food since the day I purchased my fish.
