My Least Killifish (Heterandria formosa) love this food. They are smaller than a Guppy and their fry are tiny. I been able to keep a driving colony going in a 3 gallon circular tank for 6 years.I've been using Tropical Micro Pellets for several months now and the fish gobble it up. The food does not cloud the water: an important feature in such a small aquarium. -- I tried the Ultra Fresh baby formula and didn't care for it: too small for the adult fish. But Tropical Micro Pellets is a winner in my set up. I crush a very small amount to the 0.6mm pellets for the fry and the rest are eaten by the juveniles and adults.

It’s been a good experience so far—my fish eat it without any issues. It does float a bit longer than I’d prefer, so the balloon tetras tend to eat from the surface, while the neon and cardinal tetras stay in the middle of the tank. It’s not a big problem, though.After a week of use, I haven’t noticed any issues like bloating. The particles are small, and the ember tetras eat them easily, although they might still be a bit large for fry. Overall, it feels like good value for the money, and there’s little to no noticeable smell.

This fish food is great. It has a shaker on the top which makes it easy to add just the right amount of food to your tank. The food also does float on the top of the water not just sinking slowly to the bottom. I love that giving all of my fish time to eat without it just going straight to the bottom and creating waste. The bottle is big making it worth the money. Also all my fish likes the taste because they ate every bit of the food that was floating on top of the water. I will be buying again.

First things first. Shipping was quick. Second thing, the fish loved it! I was excited to see all my fish eat it quickly. They seem happy! Very important lol. But I’m very impressed with this product. It definitely lives up to its claims. Like it very small pellets(micro) , sink’s slow. Everyone in your fish tank will be able to eat. I’m very happy to see my baby fry/ baby fish eating.I highly recommend. I’ve seen some poor reviews. But I had a great experience.

I have over 100 fish between 4 tanks and ALL of my fish go crazy for these pellets. It's perfect for any small fish or shrimp. All of my guppy fry start off on this food.This container lasts much longer than you'd expect and the food doesn't muck up the water. Anything my swimmers don't get, my bottom feeders enjoy.

I have a tank with Mollies that breed. The flakes are a great size for the babies. I assume the flavor is good since they seem to like it. Think slightly larger than a sprinkling of black pepper for the size. I'm very happy with the purchase and would use it again.

My tetras prefer this food over all others. There is very little waste because they scarf it up before it hits the bottom. I have Cardinals and Flame tetras. This is a good value for the amount you get as well.

I don’t know what fish crack they’ve put in this fish food, but my tropical fish are flipping out over this food. They LOVE it! Betas, tetras, danios, angels… no one snubbed it.And since they love it… I love it!
