Wardley Tropical Fish Food Flakes - 1.95oz

My betta likes to eat this food pellet. The size is small. I feed him morning and night, and each time he only eats about 6-8 pellets. My betta is healthy from feeding this food after a year. Highly recommended.

Who ever said Goldfish are NOT picky? My four Commons turn up their noses at anything new. I fed them TetraFin Goldfish Flakes since I bought them (for an aquaponics project) January 2013. These are the sole survivors of 20. I have tried shrimp once (Tetra Baby Shrimp) and they weren't enthusiastic about it and barely nibbled on it for 2 or three days. After a week just feeding them shrimp, they accepted it (albeit, grudgingly). They never went "frenzy" on it like they do the flakes. I introduced them to the pellets, with reservations, only because my automatic feeder didn't do well with flakes (Daily Double II by Penn Plax). I'm about to leave for Las Vegas and away for two weeks and concerned the fish wouldn't be fed enough with flakes. With flakes in the feeder, a very small amount (about the size of a dime with maybe a flake or two thick). I usually feed them manually, pinching a quarter-sized portion about an 1/8th inch thick-hmmm about five flakes maybe? BTW- I read in Amazon reviews of the feeder, flakes about an 1/8th inch were better suited. I'll try that. Maybe crush them a bit before loading the feeder? I went to a chain pet store ( I needed the NOW- sorry Amazon!) and bought the smallest container (2.5) ounces a few days before I left. I placed half into my feeder, filling the feeder. I let it run, observed, until I left. True to form, they picked at it. But hooray! Only the first day. The second day they pigged out and devoured the helping ( a good amount, spread one pellet thick about a "fitty" cent piece). I topped off the fish feeder cup and off I went to Vegas. Hey great news, returned home and the fish were alive and well. About half the container was gone (it dispenses food twice a day), so I figured a full container, about 1.25 ounces, lasts a month. I think they're just as enthusiastic eating the pellets as they do the flakes. A feeding is typically gone in under 3 minutes. I change them up with the flakes and occasionally baby shrimp to remind the fish of the other food items available to them :) Hey! I heard Goldfish forget easy. These pellets will go in to the feeder for now on. They're easy to work with and the fish look forward to their feeding. I just put in an order for the 16.75 ounce and I am confident they'll eat it all up in maybe a year! I posted a question under this product asking if anyone has any experience freezing them so I can keep without fear of them going stale. I don't see any harm but who knows? Anyways, order this without any doubts.

I like to give my community tank (Serpae Tetras, Boeasmani Rainbows, an Albino Pleco, an unidentified pleco, Black Kuhli Loaches, a Rainbow Shark and Green Tiger Barbs) a variety of foods. So, I alternate between TetraMin Flakes for Tropical Fish, Spirulina Flakes, New Life Community Fish food pellets and OmegaOne Shrimp Pellets. I've never seen them all go so crazy over anything I've put in the tank before. It's a feeding frenzy when I drop them in the tank.I'll compare these to the OmegaOne Shrimp Pellets I've been feeding. First of all, these are cheap, cheap, cheap. The can was less than half the price of the OmegaOne pellets I had and it's twice the size. So, they are economical. However, the OmegaOnes have shrimp and fish as the first six ingredients before you get into the wheat. Wardley Shrimp Pellets are wheat middlings (whatever that is), shrimp meal, fish meal, fish oil... etc. So, wheat is the predominant single ingredient in the Wardley product. Since we don't have a breakdown on actual percentages, it's possible there's more fish (adding up the shrimp meal and fish meal) than wheat. But, it's not likely. On the other hand, the OmegaOne product is mostly fish. I would not feed these as my primary food.The Wardley pellets quickly fall to the bottom and immediately begin to expand and break apart. This is good and bad. As the fish rip at it, it explodes and pieces go everywhere. This gives the less aggressive fish a chance to get some because the Rainbow Shark is trying to chase everyone away and the albino pleco likes to just grab a piece and sit on it. But, very small pieces inevitably settle back down between the gravel. The OmegaOne pellets hold together much better. I don't think the Wardley pellets will cloud the water. But, I am concerned about uneaten pieces settling down between the gravel to where even the bottom feeders can't get at it. I change my water pretty often. So, I don't anticipate that being a huge problem.I think my fish would give these five stars for taste. I give them five stars for price. I take away a star for nutritional value. I'm not sure how much value wheat has in a fish's diet. I'm a little concerned about the messiness, too. Be careful feeding these. I'll only drop in 2-3 at a time in my 45 gallon tank just to make sure they're all found and eaten before they just explode and float around.

Why did you guys raise the price I loved this stuff but can’t grasp of spending almost $40 on 1 fish flake food even if it had to do with shipping. Wish you guys had 2 options for fast shipping & patient shipping when it was $10 worth, PLEASE!!!!!!

Great Value for someone who feeds lots of fish

I have no idea how the flavor is ... but my cories and platys like it, better than other brands I've tried.I'm sure they don't care about the cost, but I find it reasonable for the quantity.

I love this because they are pellets that sink to the bottom. I have top feeders too but all have learned when they fall thats where you eat them lol. They feel super hard to pick them up but into the water when they sink they immediately go soft and blow up to look like weird colored cotton but kinda stay in shape. When they get soaked they get larger so you dont have to use a ton. My overstocked tank i use 7 pellets. They dont cloud water but will make a mess is you have a messer eater who digs right it because when they do break apart they will break and float around, think about a goldfish eating.

Great food that lasts in the tank and does not dissolve easily. ALL my fish pick at it.

brilliant my corys love this food

Fish go mad over and love it . Shame so expensive for the size

Pellets would have been ok , but they just turn to mush on the bottom of my tank & make a right mess that's my view

Was half the size and twice the price for the same thing I’ve picked up at Walmart… really watch and pay attention to the package sizing!!
