5 Stars
My cichlids love them
This is a great floating food. I checked ingredients and nutrients and they are comparable or better than other way more expensive fish foods and my cichlids love them. I also use the same brand of cichlid flakes for the same reasons. I feed the floating sticks in the morning and flakes in the evening. The floating sticks do break up when smaller fish take bites from them, bigger fish will swallow them whole. They do not leave the water cloudy or tint the water like some other floating food do. I’ve been feeding my fish these floating sticks for years and my fish grow and thrive on them, and their colors are vibrant as you can see by the pictures I posted.

The fish in the picture is a 15 year old blood parrot. This food and squished peas are his favorite foods. He lives with another parrot who is now 8 years old and 2 acaras that are young, but growing well. No problems with the water...they eat it too fast for that. I love not needing to feed live food.
