Customers say
Customers find the fish food to be of good quality and appreciate that their fish love it, with one noting it’s perfect for those who prefer sinking foods. The pellets receive mixed feedback regarding their sink rate, with some saying they sink just right while others report they don’t sink at all. While some customers find the size appropriate for their fish, others mention the pellets are super tiny, and opinions on value for money are divided between those who find it good for the price and those who consider it overpriced. The food maintains water clarity without clouding it, and while some customers say it smells good, others find it unpleasant.

Great Fish Food
I’ve tried numerous fish foods over the years, but Northfin Fish Food Cichlid Formula Slow Sinking Pellets truly stands out from the crowd. My cichlids have never looked healthier or more vibrant since I made the switch to this exceptional product.Firstly, I appreciate the high-quality ingredients used in this formula. It’s evident that Northfin prioritizes the health and well-being of aquatic life, as every pellet is packed with essential nutrients and proteins to support optimal growth and coloration.What sets these pellets apart is their slow-sinking nature. This feature allows all my cichlids, regardless of size or swimming abilities, to enjoy a balanced diet without competition or waste. Plus, it mimics the natural feeding behavior of cichlids, promoting a more natural and enriching feeding experience.Another highlight is the minimal waste produced by these pellets. Unlike some other brands that leave behind residue, Northfin pellets are highly digestible, ensuring maximum nutrient absorption and minimal impact on water quality. This means less time spent on maintenance and more time enjoying my aquarium.Moreover, I’m impressed by the consistency of the pellet size and texture. It makes feeding a breeze and ensures that each fish receives the appropriate portion size without any hassle.Overall, Northfin Fish Food Cichlid Formula Slow Sinking Pellets has exceeded my expectations in every aspect. From its premium ingredients to its thoughtful design, this product has earned its rightful place as a staple in my cichlid tank. I highly recommend it to any aquarist looking to provide their cichlids with top-notch nutrition and care.

They really are 2 mm updated
My 29-gallon tank has seven 1.5 inch Clown Loaches, two 1″ Golden Severum and three Silver Dollars, about 2″. I feed them Cichlid Crisps and, for the bottom-feeding Clown Loaches, sinking pellets. The video reviews for this brand have been glowing. I bought my first NorthFin pellets. Hoping for a clearer tank and faster growth with “graduation” to my larger tank.First impressions. The bag is clearly labeed as to size (2mm) and SLOWLY SINKING. They are just a tad under 2 mm in diameter, as the photo shows: 10 pellets in 20 mm. They fall to the substrate in a few seconds, NOT slow, but not a problem. There is no mad rush to eat them.At $1.70 per ounce, the cost is OK Wish it had come in a jar.. Be back in a month with an update.UPDATE:Many months later, it is now the second food (after the Cichlid Crisps, then as a treat some freeze-dried worms) ). I now use it in both tanks, in the 3 mm size. My next order will be the 500 gram bag: twice as much for only 50 percent more. I pour the bag’s contents into small jars for easier dispensing.Good food.

Great Ingredients but NOT Slow Sinking
I have mixed feelings. On one hand, the ingredients are top-notch, which is something that I always look for in a fish food. My fishes seemed to enjoy the taste and had no issues eating the pellets. However, the one major downside to these pellets is that they sink way too quickly. Despite being labeled as “slow sinking,” these pellets sank like a brick and most of them ended up on the gravel of the tank. This made it difficult for my cichlids to find and eat them, which defeated the purpose of purchasing “slow sinking” pellets. I may consider trying a different type in the future, but I am definitely sticking with this brand. I suggest comparing the ingredients of this brand with the brand you use to see for yourself. In my experience, I found this one to be the best.

What are you looking for?
Seriously this is fish food, I put it in the tank and my fish eat it. I have been using it for years on my African Cichlid tanks and it seems to work so I keep coming back. Unlike my kid these guys never complain about eating the same thing over and over every day for years on end. My kid on the other hand, man we had broccoli last mont and we already have to eat it again, I don’t like food that isn’t beige.You know what this food is actually about the right color for my kid to eat, it smells kind of like old shrimp mixed with dead fish, but he might like it. No green, no yellow, just a brownish pellet. Come to think of it this is pretty much like the chicken nuggets of fish foods. Fish eat it, they grow bigger, and once they are adults they like it from time to time to. It rekindles their sense of youth and wonder, a time when things were simpler.
