HikariCichlid Gold Color Enhancing Sinking Fish Food - Mini Pellet - 12 oz

Item as described!

We read that some buyers of this food didn't see it sinking but when we tossed it into our pond, each granule sank to the bottom and the smaller fish were able to eat while the larger fish were chomping on the large floating pellets! We will buy this brand again. Fish approved.

I feed this, along with Spirulina, and my big African Cichlids go crazy over these pellets.

My tropical fishes loves these pellets. They are sinking so the other bottom feed get some too.

The pellets are just way too big. Even for my fully grown convict, and I got the smallest pellets.

The packaging had definitely changed over the years, but these are the same sinking pellets I've been using for a very long time to feed my African cichlids.There are several different varieties, so be certain you are offering the correct for t your aquarium.They package I purchase is the mini pellets which sink. I like the sinking style for peacocks. In part I think it's better when the fish don't feel like they have gulp from the surface. No worries about the fish getting to much air. This is more of a personal preference.If you're new to African cichlids or looking to make a switch, this is the product I would recommend.

These are the only pellets my ciclid will eat.
