Mary MacLeod –
My plecos have been eating these tablets regularly for three months. They seem healthier and more active. The tablets sink well and don’t cloud the water. Easy to feed, especially at night when the lights are off.
Adrian Brown –
Good for bottom feeders like my sucking loach. The texture is soft and they enjoy it. I feed once in the evening after turning off the lights. Water clarity has improved noticeably.
Felicity Butler –
The Spirulina content is noticeable in the fish’s color. My plecos are more vibrant and less prone to algae buildup. No waste in the tank, which helps maintain water quality.
Sam Bond –
Works well with TetraMin flakes. I feed the tablets twice a day, only a small amount each time. The fish eat quickly and the water stays clear.
Sebastian Nash –
Perfect for timid fish that hide in the corners. The tablets sink slowly and stay intact, so they don’t break apart. My fish are now more active and seem to be thriving.
