My clownfish loves the daphnia. It’s easy to add to the tank and the fish eat it eagerly. The color and texture are very close to fresh daphnia, which makes a big difference in their feeding behavior.

I’ve tried several freeze-dried foods, but this one stands out. My tang is consistently interested in it, and the algae content seems to improve the water quality slightly.

Great product for small fish like guppies and neon tetras. The size is perfect and the fish don’t seem to overeat. I’ve been using it for two months and there’s no sign of spoilage.
