New Life SpectrumOptimum Flakes 45g (Naturox Series)

Huge flakes, even this far into the container. Not a pile of crumbs at the bottom. Stays fresh a long time. My freshwater tropical fish enjoy it, both the herbivores and omnivores.

Betta tank: Betta will NOT eat these flakes! She normally has the fluval bug bites and sometimes the tiny pellets of the NLSO. Those sink fast, so she doesn’t always go after them. My tetra and amano shrimp tank? They seem to not like the flakes much, either, but all go crazy for the tiny NLSO smallest pellets. Go figure. I will try again as I spent the money on this, but did try a few times. The flakes are also huge and even though I tried shaking it up with marbles and even a quarter, still huge and have to crumble individually. I know there are additional filler ingredients in these to make the flakes, which may be a necessity for flake form—but my fish all seem to like the purer pellets. Won’t purchase the flakes again.

New Life Spectrum has been around a long time. They make top quality fish food. This product's number 1 ingredient is Krill. It is not loaded with carbohydrates like others (which fish don't need). I use it in both my saltwater and freshwater tanks with great results.

I have a few picky eaters in my tank and the worst is my 6 line wrasse. I have tried multiple foods but they just love the really cheap "questionable" foods. I bought this after researching a bunch of reviews and sure enough, they loved it immediately. In fact, is smells pretty good and I wanted to try it. It smells like seaweed chips if you have ever eaten those before.Anyway, the fish and shrimp love it and it is supposedly very healthy. The only downside is the flakes are HUGE. You have to crunch them up in the container or in your fingers when you feed. Otherwise, I think this is an awesome product.

Flakes were too big but it was an easy fix. Just used an older stoner trick.. threw two quarters in, shut the lid, and shaked away. Easily broke up the flakes to more edibles bites for my tetras. My tetras and corys love these flakes and go crazy (even through I threw in wafers for my corys they still hunt and clean up all the flakes).

My fish absolutely love it! When I feed them this food, it's like a shark feeding frenzy!

Nice big flakes!

The formula has changed and now the flakes are very big and all one golden color. My fish still seem to like it, I just crinkle some of the big ones down for the smaller guys. I will continue to buy this size to keep it as fresh as possible, the larger jar I still used up before expiring but it wasn't as fresh towards the end. My freshwater fish (leaf fish, gouramis, dwarf gouramis, platys, mollies, etc have beautiful coloring and are thriving and growing fast.

I was delightfully surprised. It took only 3 days to receive this item, even though it said the product may not make it in time.My son has happy little fishy’s now.Thank you!
