Hikari Tropical Massivore Delite Fish Food 13 4 oz 380g

I recently picked this up due to a limited local supply, and I’m so glad I did. Not only was it more affordable than my usual shop, but the mix arrived fresh and extremely well-packaged. Most importantly, my two Polypterus endlicheri absolutely love it! If you have picky bichirs, I highly recommend giving this a try." Read more

I have big Severums, a huge Oscar, a large Salvini, and a smallish but plucky Convict as well as Raphael and Pictus catfish that LOVE this stuff. I shake the bag and tell them what to expect, and they line up at the top of the tank. They know the pellets sink, so they jockey for position at the top to be able to catch it. I use it about 5 times a week and also provide other food like bloodworms, tubifex worms, spirulina flakes, various cichlid pellets (sinking or floating), and freeze dried crickets for variety. It is less expensive online than in local stores, so it is affordable. Most of all, I credit this food as a a valuable replacement for live food. Why would I not want to use live food? 2 reasons. First, most fishes raised as food for other fishes are in bad shape and introduce diseases to your cichlids. (Also, I dislike supporting the barbaric treatment of fishes used as live food by buying them.) Second, this is important if you want a group of cichlids to live (somewhat) peacefully together, for the practice of releasing live fish in tanks for cichlids to chase and hunt for their food promotes predation and territoriality in cichlids. I figure that my cichlids now must adapt to a life in a home aquarium with other fish in a limited space, so I need to calm down their aggressive instincts as much as possible. I have fed all of my fish since I got them at an inch or so long with this food (broken into smaller bits depending on their size) rather than using live food. I credit this food for encouraging these potentially hostile fish to live together more harmoniously since without live food to chase they have never exercised their hunting instincts, which I suspect would lead them to look at one another as delicious prey. As a result, as I kept getting larger and larger tanks to accommodate their growth my cichlids were able to interact more peacefully with new tank mates from other tanks. While I am not going so far as to claim that peace, love, and understanding reign in my big cichlid tanks, I think that this food helps to diffuse the political situation among the cichlids!

While I started buying these for my SA cichlids, I found them a favorite of my small fish as well - tetras, etc will go for them, creating good photo ops. These also will hold up for hours so less chance of messy unbeaten food because it fell apart. Read more
