NorthfinFish Food Community Formula Slow Sinking Pellets (0.5mm 100g)

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.

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.

Great value

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…

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

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.

The fish love the food.

This is very well made food with good ingredients. My issues with it are as follows.It sinks almost immediately and falls fast. Unless your fish are voracious eaters most will be on the bottom of the tank. It don't find this ideal as my fish (tetras, rainbow fish, pygmy gourami) like to eat at a slower pace.My other issue is that the fish just don't seem to like it that much. I fed it over a two week period and they seemed to force themselves to eat it. I don't have that issue with Fluval Big Bites, Omage One veggie pellets, or Hikari micro pellets.So in the end it wouldn't buy this again but it is a quality product from an ingredient standpoint.

Unlike all the other brands I've tried, this food actually smells nice. Kinda like clean fish oil.Many other brands include fillers which fish are unable to digest, which means more gunk building up. With this food, I've noticed less waste accumulation and more color in my fish. Snails love it too.

It is good for bottom feeders

Excellent Food for the price

The slow sinking 1mm granules are just perfect for small community aquarium fish like tetras & hatchets. (Hatchets stay and feed at the top of your waterline whereas rummy-nosed tetras feed by grabbing the sinking granules). The cory catfish then forage in the gravel for the settled granules at the bottom of your tank. Good quality food. You only have to have one type of food for different type of feeders.
