"They sank."The waste is extremely minimal to nothing. My Oscar is almost 4 years old and loves it. Beta fish response to this product is less intersted as compared to bug bites. This Tetra style food doesn't do either of those things. Beta fish response to this product is less intersted as compared to bug bites. Nice that some float and other sink so all the fish have a chance to feed. Quick delivery in this time of the Pandemic.

Tetra 16448 Final Thoughts
"Highly recommended!"I went to a different Petco and found the right brand and brought it home. But my Rams tend to be finicky eaters, and they pig out on this stuff. I'd tried various flaked food, bloodworms, brine, and even live baby earthworms. Beta fish response to this product is less intersted as compared to bug bites. The flakes absorb the moisture in the air, cake up, and clog the feeder. When I feed my fish I drop some in as is and crumple up the rest. My neon tetras, mollies, platys, and tiger barbs love this stuff and they devour it.

"They gobble these up."I received my order today as promised and the shipping box was sealed and undamaged. I have been using TetraMin Tropical Flakes to feed guppies for over a dozen years. Many betta foods are floating orbs that have a diameter too large for bettas. If you have a lot of fish, it works well. My wife has raised her goldfish on Tetra goldfish flakes from day one. Inevitably I ran out of the flakes and went to purchase the same product. The Petco store was out of that brand.

"You should buy this."I expressed my frustration at the fish store, and they recommended these granules. Our giant plecos absolutely love this stuff! Also, these seem to grow waterlogged and sink faster than the TetraMin Pro. I found this TetraMin Tropical Flakes item that met all of my needs. My neon tetras, mollies, platys, and tiger barbs love this stuff and they devour it. I have been using TetraMin brand for 20 of those years. For whatever reason, my fish have never been much attracted to pellet food.

"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.
