Hikari Sinking Carnivore Pellets for Pets, 2.61-Ounce

Great price and made of quality ingredients

Good ingredients and fish love it!

A few months ago I got a young West African Lungfish (we named him Cthulhu!). Some of you might remember learning about lungfish in a highschool or college biology class, they are a really unusual type of critter that educators may refer to when they are teaching about evolution. This is because they are still very similar to their fossilized ancestors, and they (and a couple of other species of lungfish) are the only group left that represents the body plan of what early amphibians might have started out as. Since lungfish are such an uncommon housepet, there isn't an abundance of information about taking care of them in captivity, and even discriptions of their diets are vague. When Cthulhu first arrived he barely ate anything we offered him for weeks, and showed few signs of growth. When we tried these though, he gobbled them up immediately with no hesitation! (Even our pleco really loves them since most species of pleco are actually at least partially carnivorous!) Since then he's gained better coloration, been more lively, and quickly grown another 4 inches in length (they grow up to 3 feet long)! Now my only problem is keeping it stocked to keep up with his appetite lolol I'll try to add a video of him munching away at some point! *Note: Several reviews mention it having a smell and while the pellets are pretty pungent, if you only feed them as much as they can eat and keep the bag sealed you won't have a problem. Bad smells come from extra food that gets left in the bottom of the tank (you should never leave extra food of any kind, but especially not this kind).

A mis caracoles helena les encanta!

Good fish food.

The Hikari Sinking Carnivore Pellet is a decent quality pellet for medium carnivores. I appreciate that the pellets don't quickly dissolve in water and it seems my fish really like munching on them. I use them to feed my 3 woodcats (which will eat just about anything) and my vampire pleco (which has been a fairly finicky eater) but all my fish enjoy them. No real downside to the Hikari Sinking pellets (maybe they could have a slightly higher protein content) overall they are a high quality food that my fish really respond to. The packaging leaves a little to be desired; I would prefer a solid container as opposed to the bag but that doesn't really influence the food quality, so it is just a minor inconvenience.

Just make sure to hide these from your cat, if you have one! The odor is strong and mine is very interested in them. Putting one a day into a micro tank with these two tiny gobies.

My fish love these pallets.

Très bien, coulent vite. Mes axolotl les aiment beaucoup. A prendre l'habitude de nourrissage car contrairement aux jbl elles gonflent plus donc attention aux quantités mais si non je recommande vraiment

fish loves it. good quality
