The Good:

  • Won't Fall Apart In Water
  • Fish Seem To Like Them
  • Container Seals Really Well

The Bad:

  • First Ingredient Is Wheat Flour
  • More Expensive Than Other Shrimp Pellets

 

 

Experience: 

 

I bought this from Petsmart for about $5 a few months back for my Cory Cats. They were always fighting for flakes from my Mollies so I figured I would throw a few of these in during feeding time. The Cories do really like these, but my Mollies like them just as much. Unfortunately, The Mollies would go straight for these and still get the flakes.

These are best shrimp pellets I have tried so far. They live up to their description and sink like stones. My favorite thing about is that they don't break apart at all. I've even had a few sit in the tank for hours with no deterioration. I don't think these are my fish's favorite food, but everyone will eat them.

The only concern I had with these was that the first ingredient was not shrimp. I guess it wasn't important because all my fish are still happy and healthy after months of eating them. 

 

Should You Buy It?

 

These are a great option for bottom feeders or a good choice to add variety.
