Piscine Energetics PE PELLETS Freshwater 1mm - 2oz

I used frozen and liquid mysis containing foods and although my clowns and cardinals love them both i found it really difficult to control what i introduce to the tank. With both frozen and liquid versions so much excess would get missed by the fish and float away/dissolve. Every time i feed those foods i keep thinking how much i am polluting my water since less than half is getting eaten. With these pellets greater than 90% is eaten. I sprinkle a tiny pinch at a time and they float for a short period and the fish go crazy and eat it on the surface. After a few seconds they sink and the fish follow it down and rarely does anything make it to the bottom uneaten. I do this for a minute and then discontinue feeding. Less waste = Less Pollution in my reef tank. Pros: No thawing.. ready to feed Floats for a short period allowing fish to eat before any sinks to the bottom Allows for easy portion control and possibly auto feeding Cons Smells worse then frozen/liquid foods. I am ok with that.

All of my saltwater fish go absolutely nuts for this stuff. This is by far the most universally accepted pellet food I have used. It's a bit on the pricey side to use daily for my size tank and stock list, but when I am acclimating a fish and trying to get it to eat pellets, this has become a staple for transitioning them from live and frozen foods. As far as pellet size goes, the pellets are small enough to be consumed by all but the smallest of fish. My 1.5" chromis and lyretail anthias have no problem with it. I would say the typical size is more like 0.75mm, even though the label says 1mm.

These marine PE pellets are an excellent addition to my selection of dry fish foods. As mentioned in other reviews, they are very dry, and once hydrated even slightly, they sink quickly. I like this because they soak up liquid vitamin supplements like VitaChem and Selcon very well. They also soak up medications, like Metronidazole, dissolved in water. All my fish (angels, butterflies, tangs, etc) are accustomed to eating pellets off the floor, so that's a non issue for me. The resealable pouch keeps them dry/fresh.

Works as described. Happy with the purchase.

The rich are happy and show great color. It is my go to food for my small reef tank.

I didn't give it 5 stars cuz price for such a small amount is IMO is too expensive when compared to others. Product overall is great fish absolutely loved this food. Not really sure how much better nutritionally this food is compared to other products to again justify price.

Fish love it but size is a bit bigger than I expected

Very hard to judge fish food. My fish seems to really enjoy this particular food so thats a plus. Whether they get their full nutritional balanced needs from it I really couldn't say. They seem healthy and alert so thats another plus. All I can say is that for the price it better do what they promise. I also feed frozen so I hope between all that my fish get what they need.

Excellent for fresh water Trout minnows!

One of the only foods my fish will eat

This stuff is great. The fish react noticeably different and it really does stimulate a strong feeding response. Being fed to white cloud minnows and danio glofish. I had one minnow who wasn’t eating for weeks and is the runt of the pack but this stuff got him eating again! Bought the 1mm size and everyone eats it including cherry shrimp of course. Try it out!

Arrive quickly. Fish have thrived with this product.

This is my first time ordering from this seller. This is my first time ordering Piscine Energetic foods. Today is Oct 9th, 2019 and the food that was just delivered to me has a manufacturing date of Oct. 25th, 2016.* 3 YEAR OLD FOOD? The 6 in 2016 is conveniently rubbed out... I would be willing to bet that there is a gray area when it comes to shipping foods that have vitamins and other perishable ingredients... I am betting that if the date isn’t CLEARLY marked on the package (the 6 not being in bold print, oops...couldn’t tell the date, hey guys?) that it could be marked as unknown and therefore still saleable. Just a guess ! I would give ZERO STARS if I could. I will not buy from this seller again. I question whether I will buy any fish food from Amazon.ca again if there is no form of quality control being enforced
