We had a problem with our new fish, Neville, losing weight on his flakes. He would immediately spit them back out again, so we switched to granules. Even though they don't slink slowly (perhaps SLOWER than flakes, but still quickly), my goldie loves these. He wriggles his little tail every time he sees the jar. One super happy fish!

Nice treat for the fish. Slowly sinking and floating granules.

My goldfish seem to love these. They are small, round granules. If you drop them in directly from the container, some will float and others will start to sink slowly. If you soak them first, most of them will float for a bit, allowing for the fish to swim up to get their food. I usually soak them in water for 30 seconds before dropping them into the water. The fish eat them instantly, and some even get two or three at one time. Smells just like the flakes do, and the fish definitely enjoy the taste.

My pond goldfish really love this!

I have 6 shubunkin goldfish in a 500 gallon pond. Their size ranges from 5-10 inches in length. In the past I have bought flaked food but saw these pellets and thought I would give them a shot hoping they would sink faster than flakes and not end up in the filter before the fish can eat them. I wasn't sure I would be able to tell if the fish liked them better than the flakes I was feeding them but I definitely can. They liked the previous food but they really go nuts for this stuff. It's not a big container so I would probably need 3 to get me thru the summer with my fish. As far as sinking, they do sink faster than flakes but they don't all go down at the same time. I have had no problems with the fish or with causing any water/algae changes. I am very happy with this food but wish it came in a larger container. Will have to look to see if I can find that

Nice when combined with flakes and you have more than two fish.

My Goldies and two striped minnows like these. Some float and some fall so everyone is happy. I have one larger indoor goldfish that like to jump out of the water to catch these. The trick is to just give a small amount at a time. I also have several large goldfish outside in a pond and they also like these. I usually deposit the granules right in front of the filter water output (for both aquarium and pond) which distributes them nicely. I combine this with a few pinches of flakes. Follow the feeding directions as to amounts.

I am so sad because it is my ignorance to cause its death

I used to have 6 small gold fish. One of the gold fish was choke to death due to the big granule which she cannot swallow. I am so sad because it is my ignorance to cause its death. I give this away later. Sorry little gold fish.... So be sure your fish is big enough for this. Otherwise, but the flake type of fish food.

Fix air bladder problems in fancy goldfish.

I switched from flakes to these with the hopes that my fish would take in less air when gulping these down. It worked! Two of my goldfish had air bladder problems due to the flake type food, and kept floating to the top of the tank like buoys, and they almost died. After a few weeks of eating these, the air bladder problems have been cured...although the fish gobble these up before they can sink. The size of each pellet is small, about a 2mm ball, small enough for those 19 cent small feeder goldfish.

Got Goldemort off his back

Bought these as one my son's fantail corpulent goldfish would often become VERY bouyant. It had a hard time getting down off the surface, let alone hanging out with the other fish. Sometimes it floated belly up when it became too tired of fighting the float. I read a few sources that said these round-bodied fish can be much more sensitive to taking in any air at all when they eat flakes off the surface. Bought these and the problem was gone, not to return. Now Goldemort can pick at the gravel and run with his more slender compatriots.

Gold fish loves them mother approved

Not THAT slow sinking it actually happens pretty fast lol. I feed my gold fish, who are about 3 years old, this food and I've never had them get swim bladder. Very happy and it doesnt dirty the tank that much.

Our gold fishes says fins up! They gobble up ...

Our gold fishes says fins up! They gobble up these fish granules in minutes! They always give us the fish eyes, "more please!"

Sinks Quickly

These do sink pretty fast. But for me that is just what I need. My fish pond is part of a system with a creek and waterfalls. The current is strong so any food that floats gets swept downstream before the fish have a chance to get it. I don't see an issue with it sinking fast. The fish seem perfectly happy scrounging around the pebbles and rocks to get at the fallen bits. In fact, it's probably better for them when they have to hunt and peck for their food since this prevents them from eating too fast.
