With six fish tanks in my home, I’m always rotating foods to give my fish the best nutrition possible for their health, color, and overall water quality. I’ve tried quite a few micro pellets, but many tend to float longer than I’d like. These sink much faster, which makes a big difference for mid- and bottom-feeding fish and helps reduce food lingering at the surface. I use these primarily in my 75-gallon tank with small fish and shrimp, and they go crazy for them. It’s easily become one of their favorite foods. The pellet size is perfect, feeding is clean, and I’ve been really happy with how well they’re accepted. Definitely a staple in my food rotation now. Read more
My fish love this food! And the best thing is that there isn't fall out mucking up the water. Regular flake food makes a mess, but not these pellets. Definitely recommend. Read more
My guppies love them. Even my Betta steals a few. Great size for even fry, you can easily grind them in your fingers if you want. Read more
The media could not be loaded. Hikari’s Tropical Semi-Floating Micro Pellets have really changed how we feed our fish and maintain our aquarium, and for the better. The micro pellets float for about one minute, and some then sink slowly while a portion remains floating. They are perfectly sized for our fish, so we don’t have to be as ‘on-hand’ with micro pellets as flake food sometimes requires to pinch into smaller bits. Visibly, you can see the fish enjoy the slow release of the micro pellets. Feeding time is no longer a stressful, constant frenzy; the instant the flakes hit the surface, they begin to sink so rapidly. So we’ve noted how much more sensible Hikari Tropical Semi-Floating Micro Pellets are as the main source of our feeding routine. Interestingly enough, from the moment the pellets hit the surface, it takes roughly one minute for the first big release to begin descending downward. Take a look a the attached video clip. Overall, more feed ends up in the fish, and not sinking to the bottom, versus flake, which will reduce maintenance, and that's definitely a positive. Read more
My fish loves this food. The particles are very small, and it suits them very well. My Rainbow fish is relatively large, 3-4” long, but their mouths are small, so it’s good for them, as well as for Neon Tetras. The only thing I wish to be different, is the particles to float a little longer. They sink too fast Read more
My fish love these. I put a miniscule amount, probably a 16th or less of a tsp and a bit of flakes and that is working great for me in my 20 gallon tank. They work well in automatic feeders too. Read more
Got these specifically for chilli rasboras. I wanted something that was small and sinks easily. I was happy to see that the pellets are very soft, so they crumble easily when I pinch them to make the pellets even smaller. The rasboras eat them, and the shrimp pick up the leftovers. A little expensive for what they are as the bag is really small, but I don't go through food very quickly. Read more
Excellent food. Fish love it and, since the gobble it up quickly, it doesn't hang around long enough to foul the water Read more
