Review: Hikari Sinking Cichlid Gold Pellets set new standard - This combo pack offers **two 2.2lb resealable bags** of sinking pellets, providing excellent value for cichlid owners. The food is well-loved by fish, and the packaging ensures freshness. However, the pellet size may be challenging for smaller fish. **Pros** - **Great Value**: Two large bags make this a cost-effective, long-lasting option. - **Resealable Packaging**: Zip-lock bags keep pellets fresh and reduce waste. - **Fish Approval**: High palatability—most fish eagerly consume these pellets. - **Sinking Formula**: Ideal for bottom-dwelling cichlids, promoting natural feeding behavior. - **Trusted Brand**: Hikari’s reputation for quality nutrition adds peace of mind. **Cons** - **Pellet Size**: Pellets are **too large for small or tiny fish**, potentially requiring manual crushing for younger/smaller species. **Final Verdict** A **top-tier choice for medium to large cichlids**, offering convenience, quality, and value. While pellet size limits accessibility for smaller fish, this can be mitigated by breaking pellets into smaller pieces. Highly recommended for cichlid owners seeking reliable, nutrient-rich food—just monitor compatibility with your fish’s size.
Review: My fish give this two fins up - This product is one of my larger fish top 3 favorites! Even my chickens will get pretty aggressive to get some. I have a 400 gallon outdoor pond in Hawaii with Dojo Loaches, Garra Rufas, large Goldfish and Koi, and they all seem to prefer this food. For my amount of fish (and chickens), one bag seems to last a very long time so two bags was definitely worth the money. Unless you have some special dietary needs snowflake fish, you definitely won’t go wrong with this product! Highly recommended by all my fish
