My cichlids have been eating this feed consistently for months. The floating pellets make it easy to see how much they consume. Water stays clear and my fish seem healthier than before. A reliable and affordable option.

I switched from a premium feed to this one to save money. The fish still eat well and show no signs of stress. The vitamin-C content seems to help with their color and activity levels.

Great value for the price. The feed dissolves slowly and doesn’t leave residue. My tank has stayed clean without frequent water changes. My cichlids are active and vibrant.
