Do these pellets float or sink?

The analysis lists a minimum of 35% crude protein, with a minimum of 10% crude fat.

How often should the pellets be fed?

Feed the fish one to three times a day, and give only what they can finish in two minutes.

Is the food meal free?

The manufacturer states that the formula is 100% meal free.

What the sinking pellet and the recipe mean in use

The sinking pellet behaviour is a stated feature: the pellets sink rather than stay at the surface, and the manufacturer describes them as naturally insoluble, which it links to less water pollution. The formula is listed as 100% meal free and as containing significantly less starch than other goldfish foods, and the manufacturer connects the lower starch level to reduced fish waste. Salmon in the recipe supplies natural beta carotenes, and fresh ocean kelp, hand-harvested, is included as an ingredient. The manufacturer also describes the formula as made for the sensitive goldfish digestive system and as rich in Omega 3 and 6.

Feeding is set by the directions: one to three times a day, with only as much food as the fish can clear in two minutes.

What customers say

Customers report that their goldfish and koi love these pellets, which work well for pond fish and fine sand aquariums, with one customer noting their fish thrive on them. The pellets receive positive feedback for their value and digestibility, lasting about 4-5 months. Customers disagree on whether the pellets sink properly and their size, with some finding them perfect while others say they float instead of sink and are smaller than medium-sized pellets. Customers disagree on water clarity, with some reporting it doesn't cloud the water while others say it makes it cloudy.
