Ian Simpson –
My pleco has been eating these sticks regularly for two months. They sink well and break down slowly, which matches the fish’s natural feeding habits. The fish seems more active and its color has improved.
Molly Vaughan –
The food is easy to feed and the fish enjoy it. I noticed better digestion and less waste in the tank. The algae and kelp content seems to be well balanced with the insect larvae.
Jennifer Murray –
I switched from flakes to these sticks and my catfish are now more interested in feeding. The slow release helps prevent overeating and keeps the tank cleaner.
