My cichlids have shown better color and activity since switching to this food. The floating pellets are easy to feed and sink slowly, which helps with feeding in a larger tank. The fish seem more energetic and the scales look brighter.
Ella Robertson –
Good protein content for my large cichlids. The pellets stay afloat long enough for the fish to eat them without sinking too quickly. A bit expensive, but worth it for the results.
Fiona Butler –
I’ve used this food for over two months and my fish are growing steadily. The spirulina gives a nice shine to their bodies. Easy to distribute and no fish seem to have digestive issues.
Madeleine Miller –
Works okay for my cichlids, but the pellets break apart too early in the tank. Some fish don’t get enough nutrition. Might be better with a different formulation.
