Omega One Super Color Sinking Cichlid Pellets, 2mm Small Pellets, 8 oz

I don’t know why they make pallets that float for cichlids, sickles do not like to eat on the surface. Also, a lot of the pellets out there tend to be huge. This is perfect. They are small. They sink to the bottom, and cichlids who tend to like eating around rocks and on the ground love it. My fish are healthy and colorful, great product.

Great for big Oscar fish

If you have Blood Red Parrot Cichlids, Polar Blue Parrot Cichlids, or any of a host of other fish that can show enhanced coloration WITH the proper food ... THIS is the food! On top of some top-notch ingredients are the all important Astaxanthin and Canthaxanthin, both of which are derived from yeasts and algaes, and are responsible for the most intense colors found in fish. This took my Blood Red Parrots from a pale-orange-ish color to deep orange-red in about 3 weeks time. I expect the color to deepen further over time. Similarly with Polar Blues, same thing, but in the bluer spectrum.Works, really, for nearly ANY fish that can exhibit color enhancing (which often happens just during courtship). My Electric Blue Acaras went from ho-hum to BOLD in under 2 weeks.The ONLY thing you need to keep in mind: This food is offered in multiple sizes. I like the 2mm size for smaller fish, under 3" or so; and for fish somewhat larger, the 4mm size works well. I usually put both sizes in, so that they eat the 2mm pellets first, and can nibble on the larger 4mm pellets throughout the day. The catfish look like they're playing soccer with the larger pellets, as they nibble it and pass it amongst themselves.GREAT STUFF, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by this aquarist of over five decades experience!

Fish love it and really brings out the color of the fish

Very small, too small for my 4” Cichlids.

The media could not be loaded. These pellets are just the perfect size for my fish. Worth the money.

As described my fish love it.

I bought this food for my fish, I like the brand but was upset because the lid was not on tight and half of the food was sitting in the bottom of the package. So I’m out half a bottle of fish food.
