My pleco has been eating these sticks regularly for two months now. They sink well and the fish seems more active and vibrant. The texture is natural and the fish enjoys it without any hesitation.
Thomas Ellison –
After switching from flakes to Bug Bites, my pleco has gained weight and its color has improved. The high protein content and fiber help with digestion and keeps it full throughout the day.
Stephen Chapman –
The sticks are easy to use and sink properly. My pleco shows interest and eats them consistently. A little more fiber than I expected, but overall very satisfying for the fish.
