Omega OneColor Mini Pellets, Sinking, 3.5 oz

My fish love's it

I recently purchased some neon tetras from the local fish store, but was unable to get them to eat any of the other foods that I had on hand. After doing a little research, I stumbled upon this gem. It is the only thing that my neon tetras will actually eat! Look at the ingredients list, no meal or fillers or bs. This is a VERY high quality fish food!

I bough these garlic pellets thinking that perhaps the 0.5mm picture matches as opposed to in the "color" pellets from other listing, but no such luck. That aside, these are still great pellets to feed an aquarium fish with as they do not float at the top or float in the water a murk. Fish has to get used to eat these hard candy, but once they do, it is great. Note that you need some bottom dwellers or at least some other fish capable to eat from the floor as these sink to the bottom and not all of it gets intercepted on the way down.

The label says SLOW SINKING but it sinks pretty fast, or at least the stuff I bought sinks fast. My Tetras seem to like it though. I cannot comment on taste however as I haven't eaten any of it yet. Yes, review asks me to comment on taste and quality but I really have NO CLUE on either. I will continue to buy it in today's terrible inflated "economy". John

Our goldfish lost all of its color over the last 2 years to the point where it had become pure white. We switched to this food and after a couple weeks we started to notice hints of color change in its face. Now I'll be buying another container soon, but you can clearly tell in its fins, tail, and face that color is really starting to come back.

My Bolivian rams have been healthy and happy for about a year. I've been feeding frozen bloodworms, brine shrimp, and bug bites. When I added these pellets to the mix, their color POPPED within 2 days. It was amazing.It's always a challenge getting food down to them due to hungry fish in the mid water. These sink pretty fast. They're a good option if you're trying to get food down to apistos or rams past other fish. Also, smaller tetras, smaller barbs and guppies can't fit these in their mouths.

I have been using this fish feed for years and the fish seem to like it. They stay alive pretty long. These pellets both sink and float, so it’s great for a variety of fish. Recommend.

I have cardinal tetras, Ruby tetras, ember tetras, dwarf rainbows, chili rasboras, pencilfish, corys, otos, a loach, cardinia shrimp and a goby. First impressions the fish really get into a feeding frenzy when this pellet hits the water, but they sink fast, slow sinking should really not be on the label. In my 24” high aquarium they can reach the bottom in second. Maybe 1.5. That being said, if you enjoy watching your fish feed, by the time you open the lid, put in your pinch of pellets, close the lid and sit down, it’s almost all over because the pellets sink so fast the fish dart all over trying to get them, unlike a flake food that floats then slowly sinks or moves about in the water column.My fish in particular, have small mouths and small stomachs, so some of them can eat an entire pellet, but because of the fast nature of this food they end up eating multiple pellets very fast and you can see their stomachs bulging with pellets. Unlike flake that is soft and sometimes they need to work or nibble at and stays floating around longer, this seems to make the fish not dart around and try to eat so fast. Also with flake you can crush to accommodate small fish, crushing these pellets is not easy to do in your hand.The fish with the small mouths, chili’s, pencilfish, Ruby tetras can not eat an entire pellet, instead they hold one in their mouths and nibble on it, dropping it then going after it again. More aggressive fish will take it from them or get it when it drops, so those small fish don’t eat as much. You end up putting more in to try and get some food to them.Yes this food clouds the water. When I first read that while doing my research I thought that couldn’t be but it does. Clouds water is not the best term, the food breaks down into really small particles and fills the water column. The particles are small enough that the fish don’t eat them, some might be for a while but they dissolve into dust that I assume goes into your filter or settles into substrate. I am sure the reason for this is because of the high quality ingredients, opposed to filler foods that bind it all together. I feel like some of this food is lost due to that.I decided to try their color enhancing flake food as an alternative to using the pellet everyday. My fish don’t seem to take to their flake line too much. They do eat it, but also spit some out or ignore it which was a surprise since they really whip into a frenzy for the pellets and always eat every pellet.I have lost one oto recently but I don’t know the cause of death.My conclusion is that this food line is not for me and my particular set up. I think it is a highly nutritious food that is probably of high quality. If I had a fish store or breeding operation, I think this would be a good everyday food to feed and walk away food for larger fish. For my small fish flake food seems to be the best choice: everyone can get fed. I crush some so it’s very small and leave some as large flakes. That way the surface feeders like rasboras can get fed without competing with larger fish towards the bottom of the tank. The small bits that make it to the substrate the corys, loach and shrimp and get a chance to clean up. The shy Ruby tetras that like to stay to the bottom can work on the small bits as well. The large flakes I can dunk under the surface so they start truly “slow sinking” for the cardinals, embers, and pencil fish to eat. The flakes sink and drift slowly, therefore the fish move slowly as well which makes for a pleasant and longer viewing experience. For this reason the versatile nature of flake is my choice.
