Family founded business
We developed a catalog of products to feed all kinds of fish in all kinds of environments. We had to because 45 years ago there was nothing to feed our farm of 500,000 ornamental tropical fish. We discovered that great proteins like Shrimp, Krill and Squid found in all our formulas were perfect for all of them. Everthing begins at the farm, with real time testing combined with suggestions from our retailers to make Xtreme the best it can be.

Best Cichlid food I have found
All my cichlids love this formula. The only complaint I have seen from others is that the 3mm size is too small for “Big Fellas”. I suggest buyers read the details of this product where it clearly states that it is 3mm, and buyers should judge in advance whether this is the size pellet they are looking for.

Excellent for Plecos and Rainbow fish
Fish love them and they are nutritious enough to get plecos to breed. Excellent product.

What do my fish prefer?
It sinks fast but they eat it up and packing on the size. I prefer floating but that’s just me, I mean, I dont eat this stuff but do suck a lot of it out of the gravel every other weekend. My fish are thriving and getting big so were happy! Buy cheap buy twice but I will buy this twice or more!

Goldfish love it
Started out using flakes for my Goldfish and had swim bladder problems. Started using Hakari Excel sinking pellets the fish never looked so good but it was to small and got lost in the rocks real easy.Decided i needed a bigger sinking pellet.Tried the Extreme big fella. Goldfish took straight to it and are growing at a good pace.Inbetween the Extreme and the Hakari i tried Rapashy gel.I dont know what was wrong with that food but i lost 5 fish in less than a year before i realized it was the food.Went back to the Hakari and fish never looked so good.Was real nervous about trying to switch there food again but they love the Extreme food.I will never switch from Extreme Big Fella.

Sank at hypersonic speed.
Product arrived intact, filled to the brim without any tamper seal or Freshness seal. First attempt at feeding I placed about ten pieces into the tank that sank like brown colored buckshot. the fish didn’t touch it. Tomorrow I’m going to try feeding with it soaked in Seachem Garlic Guard. I don’t know if I have genuine product or a bait and switch at this point. The food looks like the picture, but the lack of a freshness seal or seal of any kind makes me warry. There was zero headspace in the container, it was packed full to the brim, I never received any product sold by weight that didn’t have settling occur during shipment.

Bought 2 pounds of Ronâs medicated fish food and received it and immediately followed the instructions they provided. I bought it based on the very few 5 reviews thatâs was reviewed few years apart.I have followed the instructions to the Tee. 20 days has passed. No improvement AT ALL. Fish died during the process of the 20 days medication.They claim to have a long list of illness it treats. From EXTERNAL TO INTERNAL parasites and sickness. A HUGE claim to make!I have recorded lots of videos of With DAYS AND TIME STMAPS through this 20 days medicated food showing my fishes non improvement and stringy poop indicative of internal parasites still present after 20 days.Cichlids hated Ronâs food! So I thought maybe it was the medication. So I had a spare pack of their food since I bought 2 pounds. I tried feeding Ronâs food without the medication to my other tanks with hold healthy cichlids. They spit it out as though Iâve fed them garbage.At the same point of time, I also bought 5 pound of Xtreme fish food. My cichlids rushed to gobbled their food in lighting speed. The fishes loved XtremeYou may not believe my review. I have nothing to gain for leaving a bad review. Iâm giving an HONEST review.Even KAVEMAN AQUATICS claimed that he has used it before and saw no improvements.Believe that guy when he says that. He knows his stuff!

My fish wouldn’t eat it even though it is the brand/size I always feed. First time ordering this food from Amazon and packaging was slightly different. Is it the same food??
