Aqueon Shrimp Pellets Sinking Food for Tropical Fish, Goldfish, Loaches, Catfish and Other Bottom Feeding Fish, 6.5 Ounces

These pellets are absolutely wonderful they go right to the bottom of the aquarium and my catfish loves them

This is really great fish food, that’s why it’s not just part of my subscription, but I purposely get more than I need each time just in case there’s ever a stock shortage because I wouldn’t want my daughter’s fish to be without it! It’s the perfect compact size for most to eat and for those with a smaller mouth—after they sink they swell from water absorption and become malleable…even for the smallest mouths! The color is brown, but fish don’t have any trouble seeking it out! The shrimp ingredient is great for catfish and her rope fish absolutely love them! However, surprisingly enough to me…her goldfish also love it! They prefer it over goldfish pellets, flakes and everything else I’ve tried them on…this stuff is the food of champions for fish!

These are good pellets! I've been buying these for months for my 4 lined pictus catfish and my lace catfish and they love it! The quality is great and they can chew it easily.

My eel and loach love the Aqueon Shrimp Pellets! They sink quickly, making it easy for bottom feeders to get their share. The pellets have a stronger smell than some other foods, but it’s not overwhelming or unpleasant. They are small in size, which is perfect for bottom feeding animals. Overall, a great choice if you have bottom-dwelling fish or aquatic pets that enjoy shrimp-based food. Would definitely recommend, it is a great price for the value.

I have three cory catfish that are constantly working the bottom of my tank and I am sometimes concerned that there may not be food getting to them. I bought these to drop in a few times a week just to make sure they have enough. The fish definitely like them and will eat them pretty fast. They sink immediately 80% of the time. I have a strong current so they never end up where I want them but the fish find them eventually. The floaters eventually sink and get eaten. What I do not like is these are too big to be eaten immediately. They take at least 15 minutes to absorb water and soften. They eventually get eaten but the catfish tend to push them into the gravel when they first fall and can't be eaten right away. Other than some float and they are too big to eat by small cory cats immediately, they do the job of making sure the cats have food to eat. The jar is huge and was priced fairly. That is a bonus. If it expires ill take it to the lake when I fish and use it as chum. Bass, bluegill and chanel catfish will like it too.

Dropped one in. My pleco emerged like a submarine on a snack mission. He bulldozed a snail, ignored gravity, and suctioned that pellet like it owed him rent. The tank’s now a crime scene—algae untouched, shrimp traumatized, pleco victorious. These pellets don’t just sink… they summon. 10/10 would fuel the chaos again.

Got this for the Cory Cats & shrimp as on occasional snack, they seem love it. To be honest, all the other fish in the tank love it too, as they’re always picking at it no matter how discretely I get it to the bottom of the tank, they find it. Great product & as long as I have Cory Cats or Shrimp, I’ll have this around too.

This was a good price and my shrimp are enjoying the food as are my guppies.
