Review: Meijer Frozen Green Peas

Peas

The Good:

• Extremely Cheap
• Only Ingredient Is Peas

The Bad:

• Terrible Smell When Boiled

 

Experience:

 

Yes these are the plain old peas that you buy in the frozen food aisle. They are an amazing addition to almost every fish's diet. I bought a bag of them when my parents were having a bloat problem with their goldfish. The goldfish happily gobbled them down and now get their weekly dose of peas. I love the fact that they are only 88 cents a bag on sale.

The peas are very easy to prepare for your fish. First pour the needed amount of peas into a clean uncontaminated container that is microwave safe. When I say uncontaminated I mean one that soap or other chemicals have never touched. Fill tap water slighly above peas and microwave for one minute. Let them sit for another minute before draining. Add some cool tap water to peas and drain until cooled. Pop the peas out of their shells and then feed to your fish.

Make sure you don't drop any shells into the tank because your fish could choke on them. The peas are safe to keep in the tank for a few hours if not consumed. Don't worry about the tap water from boiling. Make sure to avoid peas with salt listed in the ingredents. Mashed peas also make a great food for fry.

Should You Buy It?

Buy these to add something fresh to your fish's diet and to keep them regular.

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.
