My neon tetras have developed much brighter colors since switching to BugBites Color Enhancing Flakes. The flakes sink well and my fish seem more active. No fish have shown any digestive issues after a week of use.

The flakes have a pleasant smell and dissolve easily in the water. My corydoras show better skin condition and the redness in their fins has improved noticeably. I mix them with regular flakes for variety.
