Great Size for Small to Medium Cichlids:The 1.5 mm pellets are the perfect size for my cichlids, especially the smaller ones.

The pellets break down properly and are easy for my fish to consume, which means less waste and cleaner water for my aquarium.6.

The food that will make you and your fish happy!
I own a group of five Electric Blue Acaras that I got two and half months ago that were the size of a penny and a new Red Spotted Gold Severum who I have had for a week now. When my Acaras were small I used to soak this with Seachem Garlic Guard (health and immunity benefits) and mush this up and feed them and they loved it. I even fed them this without the garlic guard and they still went crazy for this. Now they have grown so much and are all very healthy. My severum was very shy and would always hide as well (new environment I understand) but this and the Krill Flakes made him get used to me and open up very quickly. He is always front and center now at feeding time. The water doesn’t cloud up and the food actually seems like it’s clean as the fish seem to be producing waste regularly and are very active.I’ve tried Hikari and Northfin with my cichlids but this is what I find them always cleaning up and being the most active on. Not only that their colors are nice and vibrant as well! The ingredients are krill, squid and spirulina which are all very healthy and irresistible ingredients for the fish and they always will eat these when you put them in the tank. Excellent growth, behavior, ingredients and brand.

Mbuna love it!
Great food for my Mbuna. I dare say it’s probably their favorite. Great value. I always say fish food is the least expensive part of the hobby.

Fish Love This !!!
My Electric Blue Acara and Albino Heckelie LOVE !!! this food. They were extremely picky prior to me purchasing this and now they look for it to enter the tank during feedings. They have become more active in the tank and more attentive when I am near the tank. Great choice for Cichlids.

Fish love it, my favorite mbuna pellet to date.
A little on the expensive side, but my mbuna love it! The older size is perfect and the nutritional value is great for a ‘dry’ food. It is a bit on the expensive side, but it’s worth it to see the vitality and vivid colors of the fish. I also like that its slower sinking than many other pellets – This allows my fish to consume it before it gets lost in the substrate. As a result, there’s little to no food waste and I have no worries of it fouling the water.

“Xtreme Aquarist Delight: A Review of the Gold Standard in Daily Fish Feed”
Xtreme has undoubtedly set the gold standard for daily fish feed, captivating the hearts of experienced aquarists. The superior quality of this feed is evident as fish enthusiastically devour it. While it sinks faster than expected, careful feeding ensures optimal grazing off the bottom. This feed has become an invaluable indicator, guiding precise measurements and ensuring every fish, from Pee Wee to Big Fella, thrives.

My Mbunas love this food
I have a mixed Mbuna tank and was looking for a great food when they were only just a little bigger than a quarter, they loved this food and I still feed it to them today, Its funny, they will splash the water in excitement when I feed them, they get so excited. Absolutely amazing fish food.

My African Cichlids love it
Seems to be a good size for the money and my Africans love it.

So tiny my 2 month old litter just an inch in length swim right by it. Says its 3mm, but pellets are a 1mm grain of sand, and medium to large fish varies by species but for cichlids is fair to say 1.5in in length and up. I don’t know how or why this product gets a good rating. Wouldn’t have bought it if it weren’t for false advertising. Best part is YOU CANNOT RETURN IT. Buyer beware.

Use it like a community type food because it’s loved by all types of fish.
