Ella Scott –
My stingray has been eating these pellets consistently for two months. They sink well and the fish shows strong interest. No signs of digestive issues. The texture is similar to what I used to feed with live food, but without the risk of parasites.
Nathan Grant –
Great for bottom feeders like eels. The pellets sink properly and are easy to distribute in the tank. My bichir enjoys them and eats almost every time I add a few. Slightly more expensive than regular fish food, but worth it for the safety and quality.
Theresa Pullman –
Used these for my cat as a treat. The cat showed interest and ate them without hesitation. The smell is mild and the texture is firm but digestible. Works well as a supplement in a balanced diet.
