PE PELLETS Freshwater 3mm - 5lbs

These marine PE pellets are an excellent addition to my selection of dry fish foods. As mentioned in other reviews, they are very dry, and once hydrated even slightly, they sink quickly. I like this because they soak up liquid vitamin supplements like VitaChem and Selcon very well. They also soak up medications, like Metronidazole, dissolved in water. All my fish (angels, butterflies, tangs, etc) are accustomed to eating pellets off the floor, so that's a non issue for me. The resealable pouch keeps them dry/fresh.

I used frozen and liquid mysis containing foods and although my clowns and cardinals love them both i found it really difficult to control what i introduce to the tank. With both frozen and liquid versions so much excess would get missed by the fish and float away/dissolve. Every time i feed those foods i keep thinking how much i am polluting my water since less than half is getting eaten. With these pellets greater than 90% is eaten. I sprinkle a tiny pinch at a time and they float for a short period and the fish go crazy and eat it on the surface. After a few seconds they sink and the fish follow it down and rarely does anything make it to the bottom uneaten. I do this for a minute and then discontinue feeding. Less waste = Less Pollution in my reef tank.Pros:No thawing.. ready to feedFloats for a short period allowing fish to eat before any sinks to the bottomAllows for easy portion control and possibly auto feedingConsSmells worse then frozen/liquid foods. I am ok with that.

Very hard to judge fish food. My fish seems to really enjoy this particular food so thats a plus. Whether they get their full nutritional balanced needs from it I really couldn't say. They seem healthy and alert so thats another plus. All I can say is that for the price it better do what they promise. I also feed frozen so I hope between all that my fish get what they need.

This stuff might as well be crack for your fish and corals. EVERYTHING readily eats it (ok, so our urchin doesn't, but he shouldn't anyway). I've never seen a feeding reaction in fish or LPS (or SPS with a significantly large mouth), softies, etc. I spot-feed rock & mini-maxi anenomes and their mouths open gaping wide in nothing flat. The fish simply can't get enough of it. Lobos, acans, even when I powder it between my fingers, corals like blasto merlettii and pectinia will readily gobble it up. I'll still use rotifers for some filter feeders, along with freshly hatched brine shrimp, but this stuff triggers a feeding reaction like nothing else I've ever used - including Hikari frozen foods and pellets.

All of my saltwater fish go absolutely nuts for this stuff. This is by far the most universally accepted pellet food I have used. It's a bit on the pricey side to use daily for my size tank and stock list, but when I am acclimating a fish and trying to get it to eat pellets, this has become a staple for transitioning them from live and frozen foods. As far as pellet size goes, the pellets are small enough to be consumed by all but the smallest of fish. My 1.5" chromis and lyretail anthias have no problem with it. I would say the typical size is more like 0.75mm, even though the label says 1mm.

Bought this because I get lazy to feed my upstairs tanks frozen food on some nights so I’ll feed them this instead. All my fish and inverts love it except my cardinal fish. He is super picky and will only eat frozen Mysis. Small package but last a good while.

All my fish go crazy for it. They recognize the bag when I go to feed them. Excellent source of nutrition. nutritionally complete fish food designed to enhance coloration and induce an energetic feeding response.

Most of my fish take to this mysis pellet. I trust Piscine as they are one of the leaders in frozen mysis shrimp. Its great to be able to leave my tank alone for a few days and know that they will still be fed a healthy diet of mysis that they are used to from an Autofeeder.

This is my first time ordering from this seller. This is my first time ordering Piscine Energetic foods.Today is Oct 9th, 2019 and the food that was just delivered to me has a manufacturing date of Oct. 25th, 2016.*3 YEAR OLD FOOD?The 6 in 2016 is conveniently rubbed out... I would be willing to bet that there is a gray area when it comes to shipping foods that have vitamins and other perishable ingredients... I am betting that if the date isn’t CLEARLY marked on the package (the 6 not being in bold print, oops...couldn’t tell the date, hey guys?) that it could be marked as unknown and therefore still saleable.Just a guess ! I would give ZERO STARS if I could. I will not buy from this seller again. I question whether I will buy any fish food from Amazon.ca again if there is no form of quality control being enforced

My fish took a little time to try as the pellets seemed a little too hard or big for them (My tank has just small fish no larger Angels or anything like that). Once I ground them up a little the fish seemed to like the food. Color of the fish look good.

I own 125 gl freshwater tank. As you can imagine there are a fair number of fish in a tank that size. Not one single fish will eat it. Not even the place or the cat fish.

Excellent for fresh water Trout minnows!

My fishes do not bite these pellets.
