Great
I have 4 African dwarf Congo frogs, so these pellets are too big for them to eat whole, but they seem to enjoy them. I love that they hold their shape even when I mush it into smaller pieces to feed to them; it even resembles a worm when I am feeding them using tongs. My shrimp and guppies love eating this stuff too.

Completely Saved My Axolotl!
I don’t usually ever write reviews but if you’re looking for a new food for your axoltl, don’t hesitate to purchase these! After trying for ages, with so many methods to start my axolotl on Dendrobaena, he just wouldn’t have them and then his whole personality changed. He wouldn’t leave his hideout, he had a loss of appetite (even for bloodworms!) and even though all other factors such as water conditions, temperature and motor speed were completely perfect, he just was completely off. I’ve found he wouldn’t be too bothered for regular axoltl pellets and usually they’d be too small for him to find on his own and the remaining pellets would start to rot in no time (which was a nightmare to clean). I had been recommended this product and as soon as I placed some of these pellets in a aquatic bowl, it sparked interest in my axolotl and he’s back to being his usual curious and thriving self! Whilst these pellets can give off a strong scent the next day, they don’t lose form or rot quickly in the tank so it very easy to clean up the excess! I cannot stress enough how much my axolotl absolutely LOVES them and I would highly recommend! Will definitely be purchasing many more!

My Fussy carnivores love them
In my aquarium I have two Reed Fish / Rope fish , they are fussy with dry foods and prefer live or frozen , other fish Jack Dempsey and Four line Pim also gorge on live / frozen as well as my staple , my staple is NLS – Thera- A but the reed never eat it , but they love these pellets and it allows me to feed live once a week and have the ease of feeding pellets. Recommended .

Fish love them!
My catfish loves them..I have to target feed him else all the other fish make off with them!!...must be good as he is a granulosa/Petricola hybrid and has reached the grand age of 17 and still going strong.
