Common Questions
How does it float in water?
While Floyd does float, it is not guaranteed. In Customer Loopy's words 'not for everyone, but it started RED while it floats' so suggest making sure to maintain the pellets well so it continues to float.
Highlighted Reviews
"Betta enjoys slow eating, this pellet floats well, also seems to keep flavor for a long time"
"The pellets are way too big, my betta had to carry it around in her mouth for a while before she can eat it and I worry about her choking on it"
Bottom Line
This food is likely to perform no better than average in value among similar products and unlikely to be a VOC sink. Many negative reviews and some got SOUGY when wet.
