"My large pleco came out of hiding and went straight for the food. This was the fastest and strongest reaction he's ever given me to food. After months using this food he's still quick to come eat."

— Megan

"Expands. Sinks. turns into blob of stuff that resembles egg drop soup and none of my fish or bottom feeders will touch it. Caused ridiculous mess in my 5gal tank. Maybe if you had larger fish in a much larger tank then it would make sense but too much of a mess for me;"

Bottom Line

If you have plecos or bottom feeders, this food is a great choice. Just be prepared for potential packaging issues and plan a suitable way to dispense the tablets and minimize potential mess.
