My plecos have been eating these crisps regularly for two months. They seem more active and their color has improved. The texture is firm and they accept it without struggling. Good value for bottom feeders.
Alison Skinner –
The fish enjoy the crisp texture and it’s easy to feed. I noticed better algae consumption in my tank. A bit more expensive than basic flakes, but worth it for the nutrition.
Victor Wright –
Great for catfish that usually ignore other foods. These crisps sink properly and the fish eat them eagerly. The spirulina and kelp add a nice variety to their diet.
