Excellent food
I like this food Iâve bought it several times. I like it because itâs small granules and I have two small fish that have very small mouths so itâs easy for them to eat. I like it because itâs sinking pallets which causes less air in their stomach. As for the bigger fish, they could just eat a little more if they have to I feel itâs a good quality food. Itâs not the only food I feed them. They get treats and vegetables as well.

Fish like it
This claims to be slow sinking fish food, but it sinks like stones as soon as it hits the water. The fish actually like it, so I’m not complaining. I use it for my pond goldfish & they attack it before it hits the bottom, so I must be delicious for them.

Amazing for your goldfish
I work in pet retail and love Aqueon products, they are well made but also good for your fish. I am very happy with the price of this product too compared to other retailers.

Best bang for your buck!
This is a very decent size for the price. My goldfish love it and it does not cloud up the water like flakes tend to do. Only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the product specifically says “slow sink” and it actually sinks VERY fast and this was actually one of the specific reasons I purchased this.

Algae, more waste than expected, waste color
Don’t really recommend this, but if you’re on a budget… It’s an option.I had bought three containers in one go because I had two tanks of (common) goldfishes that I was going to feed.Some background: I have three tanks total. 1 approx. 12 inches goldfish, 1 approx. 2-3 inches and 8 approx. 1 inch. I’m only feeding my 2-3 inch with this product. The 12 inches I feed the OmegoOne pellets, while the other group I feed Tetra flakes.I bought this product mainly to start getting the 2-3 inch used to sinking pellets, in case of swim bladder issues later on. I have more cons than pros, but here they are:Pros:- They sort of sink… So I guess it /is/ a good transitional product.- I found the value for money quite decent. (another thing I quite like about pellets is that they’re quite easy to ration)- The goldfish doesn’t hate it.-The water /is/ decently clear but… (below)Cons:- I found that I’m getting significantly more algae in this tank (20g with one 2-3 inches) as compared to the other two (the 12 inches is in a 38g and the other 8 fishies in a 20g).- I feel like there is a significant amount of waste, in proportion to the amount I feed.- I also find the waste rather suspicious. Typically, I’m used (and also from where I read somewhere) the waste should be similar in coloring to the food itself. For me, the waste was black… So… I don’t know, it’s just really drastic. This point might influence the one above.- And that sinking thing… I would say majority of my pellet don’t sink. Some are slow sinking once I drop them in but majority don’t.All in all, I’m rather disappointed (mostly in myself for buying 3) but not super surprised. Though not desirable, I do plan on continuing to use the ones I bought but will not buy again.

IDK
I had high hopes for the Aqueon Goldfish Fish Food Slow Sinking Granules, but unfortunately, my fish don’t seem to like it. The granules are a good size and do sink slowly as advertised, which is great for feeding, but my goldfish just aren’t very interested in eating them. The quality of the food seems fine, but it’s disappointing that my fish arenât as enthusiastic about it as I hoped. I’ll probably try something different next time, but this might still work well for others.

The fish love these pellets. They fall at a slow speed allowing them to be eaten up for the most part before hitting the bottom. My tanks do not become nasty messes when feeding this food. Highly recommend this product, best pellet I’ve found for my Koi, and fancy goldfish.

My goldfish have always had top quality expensive food, so when I ordered this food for them I didn’t expect them to go nuts over it like they do! They normally eat quite calmly. There was an absolute feeding frenzy when I dropped these pellets in. They were jumping and thrashing about so much to get these pellets that they actually splashed water out of the tank in their excitement. Now, three weeks later, they STILL have this same feeding frenzy every time I drop these pellets in. Ordering these again!

I purchased this product before from PetSmart. Im very happy with this fish food. Because the granules don’t sink my aquarium water stays clean. I tried different brand for gold fish and in the first day my water turned cloudy and it was stinky.Right awayi purchased this brand again and I’m not going to buy anything else!

Supposed to sink slowly, but food immediately goes down. Difficult for fish to catch food.

Great for fishes, stays on the top of the water till fish eats them, therefore the water stays clean
