## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it soutble for all kind of fishes**
A: All tropical fish, not for salt water fish or gold fish...

**Q: are the flakes small?**
A: It’s a variety of size because some break up over time in the container.  They are like most flakes and I just take a pinch and break them up in my hand before feeding my small fish. I’d say some are small, some large.  They are very easy to break up for smaller fish.

**Q: can they be used in Eheim automatic feeder?**
A: This can be used in most automatic feeders.

**Q: Trying to order api goldfish flakes in 5.7 oz and need price**
A: I paid $12.81 back in August for 5.7 oz.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by D***D on 24 January 2020*

I was expecting a jar ¼ the size of what I got. It's huge! Luckily my YouTube research tells me I can keep it in the freezer and just keep a couple weeks worth by the tank at room temperature. I like the fact it does not have a bunch of artificial colours and other artificial additives that other brands use. Still cycling new tank so cant tell you what fish think of it. Will update in a couple months.
