Great for young, Koi, fish and goldfish
I bought this because itâs easy for fish to eat because itâs sinks and itâs great for younger fish that are much smaller

They do sink!
I am so glad to find a bit larger size fish food that does sink.The first few days I had to break them smaller to convince my fish that they are food (the former pellets were tiny), but now they eat them.Turtle loves them too…My goldfish are 4-6″ tip to tail.

EXCELLENT product and customer service was awesome
I am so impressed with this company. They responded very quickly to my question and were extremely helpful with their response. The quality of the food is top notch and having it sink really helps my younger koi/goldfish which hesitate coming to the surface to compete with the big koi. Thank you Microbe-Lift!!!

Sinking Pellets Fish Food Without the Sink
I originally purchased floating fish pellet food (different brand) which quickly made me realize that was a bad idea with a water level skimmer that quickly gobbles up the fish food before the fish have time to eat it. To get around this I had to shut off the pump which was a pain in the butt cause half the time I would forget to turn it back on. Low and behold I see on Amazon they sell SINKING fish pellets specific for my type of pond set up…genius! Well at least I thought so right up until the new fish pellets arrived and I used them for the first time. Low and behold the SINKING fish pellets did not sink (at all), not a single pellet fell to the bottom of the pond, not even after 5-10 min of sitting in the water! How do you sell something advertised as a SINKING pellet that does not sink! Big waste of money and time waiting for this fish food to arrive for it to completely fail its intended purpose. I guess now I have plenty of FLOATING fish pellets to last me a while.

Helpful for sick fish
Normally I use floating koi food so I can see the fish come up. I have one koi who was injured recently and is missing most of her tail. She can’t get to the top so this food was very helpful. Unfortunately they all like it so they try to get to it before she does. I have to be clever and divert them elsewhere as much as possible. But it really helps to keep that fish fed so she can recover
