My cichlids have been eating these pellets consistently for three months. They seem healthier with brighter colors and more active behavior. The floating design makes it easy to see them feeding.

The pellets sink slowly and are well-liked by my bottom-feeding cichlids. I notice less waste in the tank and the fish stay more vibrant. A good choice for plant-based diets.
