Aqueon Monster Fish Medley 3 5 Ounces

Out of all the foods I’ve tried, my fish absolutely go crazy for this dried food. The bag lasts me about 2–3 months, even with several large fish, making it well worth the price for the quantity you get. This food is specifically designed for medium to large cichlids and is made from all-natural ingredients, which gives me peace of mind knowing I’m providing them with high-quality nutrition instead of low-grade fillers. Highly recommend for cichlid owners! Read more

I have a cichlid pond with some big guys (e.g., Oscar, Vieja, Flowerhorn, large Blood Parrots, etc), few more mediums (e.g., Jack Dempsey, EB Acaras, Geoophagus, etc) and the ever thriving population of Convicts and Polar Parrots who have lived and interbred in that pond way longer than the 10 years i’ve owned it. They came with the house lol and they are extremely fun to watch because they’re clinically insane, but I wanted some bigger guys because I’ve never had the opportunity to keep such big fish in a large enough tank. ANYWAY I got this for the big guys so they would get a more balanced (and exciting) diet than the pellets that I normally feed everyone else. what I do is I drop enough of these in before their meal so they (big & medium guys) can have an appetizer while I’m giving the smaller fish and whatever fry is currently present the smaller pellets on the other side of the pond. I feel good feeding them these because they’re literally freeze dried bugs which is natural for them to eat and full of protein. Also convenient distraction for the bigger fish while giving the smaller fish a chance to eat peacefully. I wish they weren’t $10/piece because they add up to be more than their actual staple food pellets for the whole month but 🤷🏻‍♀️ it makes them happy and that’s the responsibility I took on. edit 1/22/25: so came on here to buy my weekly bag and much to my surprise. The price is shut up to $15. And then a two pack or 30. I feel like that’s a bit ridiculous but nevertheless, it is still my fish‘s favorite food so not sure what to do about this! I saw that it said $15 for 7 ounces and I know the bags are only 3.5 so first I just thought they put them in bigger bags double the size. So I took a chance and ordered it knowing I could get refunded easily that’s not the issue. anyway, today came their normal 3.5 ounce bag so I called Customer Service and got my refund like the gentleman the night before promised if it ended up being “false advertising “anyway, long story short, not sure how long that typo has been there, but it is absolutely not 7 ounces… It is only 3.5 ounces… And why they more than double the price overnight I cannot possibly imagine. These were literally 799 last week and now they are 1599. I’ve noticed over the years that Fish food fluctuates wildly as far as the price, and changes like this are usually temporary, so I’m just going to nurse the bag that I have and wait for the price to come back down based on the reviews everyone left it does not sound like anyone will be thrilled about the price double so hopefully Aqueon gets the message and puts the price back to 799. I have also been looking for something different in the meantime, but all I can find are “sticks” that are allegedly equivalent to live feeding. At first, it was just my Oscar and my EB Acaras that ate these, but now it’s literally everyone racing to the top to grab a bite., so I need to figure something out because this price is insane.

They eat it. It doesn't really float. I have Oscars and Koi Haven't tried it personally so I couldn't review the taste. My fish are still alive. Read more

The product is exactly what you would expect. Dried worms, crickets, ect. I would buy this product again and again and again!!! For those that said they fish don't eat it, well not all fish are carnivores. Some fish like veggies as opposed to "meat" Read more

Much better than similar products. Very pleased with performance. Only improvement would be better packaging. Not complaining. Read more

I have a six month old Oscar living in a 90 GAL tank (probably this is all I need to say about the fish/and its appetite :) ). I have tried lots of different foods, focusing on variety, as well as morsel size. This dried mealworm and river shrimp mix food is one of my favorites, as both varieties found in it have good size. I have bought these types of foods individually before also in freeze dried format, but they did not compare with the CONSISTENT large size found in this Aqueon Monster Fish Medley mixture. Also, for quite some time, I was feeding live mealworms to my Oscar, but once again, this Aqueon mixture has larger sized mealworms than even the "large" live mealworm purchase option did (mealworms in this Aqueon mixture tend to be about 1.25"). My Oscar loves this mixture and readily gulps it down. Due to the food's larger morsel size, my Oscar also gets full faster than he did using other types of foods. I could not be happier with this Aqueon Monster Fish Medley food; I highly recommend it to anyone looking to feed his or her large carnivorous aquarium fish. Read more

My Oscar (Oscar 😍 ) goes crazy for this stuff. It is like Ice Cream for children so I use it for treats. He recognizes the package when I bring it out each afternoon. Read more

Fish seem to like it. Read more
