The Fish were quick to eat the shrimp pellets. the smell/taste travels fast through the water.They have a strong smell, which tells me that they have a good shrimp/nutiment content.

My clown loaches were obsessed with this food. Then, it disappeared from the shelves for ages and I couldn't find it anywhere. Well, when it returned, the pellets themselves were obviously different--a lot smaller in size and darker in colour. The recipe change seems to have resulted in a less frenzied response from my loaches, but they still seem to enjoy it.

Bought to ensure my corrys get food at the bottom of the tank. Corry love them. Occasionally 1 will float and its amusing watching black phantoms playing keepy uppy.

I can't tell you if the fish like it. They eat it, but they eat everything with equal zeal. What I can tell you is that they sink right away which I like. They don't float around for a second and then sink. This is good for someone like me who likes to target specific areas of the tank where the pellets will go. Some behind the log for the timid fish, for example.
