NorthfinFish Food Community Formula Slow Sinking Pellets (1mm 250g)

I needed a pellet food for my auto feeder because I had to leave on a 2 week trip. It did great in auto feeder. My fish like the food. Some of the pellets sink fast, some float for a few minutes before sinking. None seem to sink slowly.

My fish (guppies and tetras) seem to really like these. They eat less of it than the other flakes I had but I think it is filling them up faster. Not all the pellets float but that is fine the tetras like to get the falling ones. The bag has a reseal. And there is a lot of the food. This bag should last my 7 fish a few months.

The food is high quality, however it sinks much too quickly even for my zebra danios to grab. I’ve tried trying to gingerly sort of set it on top, but it still sinks like a rock…

Fish love it. I only wish it were slower sinking. My mid and bottom level swimmers have trouble catching it before it hits the substrate. Top level swimmers are little piggies who grab the food as soon as it touches the water, but anything they miss goes down like a rock.

I place all the food on a glass petri dish to minimize the mess, and the shrimp SWARM into the plate whenever I give them this. The pellets are TINY so the food will get scattered, it is NOT contain-able, especially if you have fish.

Freshest product on the market! My fish can't get enough of them! You can see from the ingredients alone just how quality of this product is. Low starch and grain contents. Your fish will want this and only this. I'll be keeping this food handy and buying directly from their website from now on!Cons: because the product is so fresh, it really reeks. Luckily it comes in a air tight zip lock bag. Also, this is not a dump it and forget it type of food. This food sinks very fast and does not float for any good amount of time, so you'll have to feed it slowly and little bit at a time. All the more time for your fish to enjoy your company.

I'm sure these are great and that my fish would love them -- if they could only eat them. These are supposed to be slow sinking, but there is nothing slow about them. They sink to the bottom extremely fast and my fish can't get to them in time. Since a lot of the pellets get to the substrate before the fish can get them, they remain uneaten. They would be great for bottom feeders, but my fish don't eat from the bottom, which is why I was looking for slow sinking pellets. If this is what you need, look elsewhere. The only reason I gave it two stars instead of one is because the ingredients are very high quality. But the quality is irrelevant if my fish don't get to eat them

Both of my fish tanks hated this (simple freshwater community fish.... guppies, platys, cory cats, tetras, etc). I tried to feed it to the fish in our pond outback and they wouldn't touch it either. So I gave the leftovers to my aunt for her fish tank, and they didn't eat it either! I'm confused why this has so many good reviews. Don't waste your money!
