I've been feeding my fish small nutrafin max sinking pellets for a while. But I was wondering if my larger fish were getting enough food so I also bought large omega one sinking pellets. I think they are great...they smell good enough to eat! biggrin.gif My problem is they are so slow to dissolve! Even if I soak them, the outside gets mushy and the inside stays hard. Has anyone else had this problem? The fish end up picking at them for about a half hour before they are gone. I guess that's not a bad thing, but the back of the jar they are in says as much as the fish will eat in 2 minutes, none of my fish could ever eat one of those hard things in 2 mins! I'd like to switch over to feeding those exclusively, but right now I only give them every few days because it's so much work for the fish to eat them!

that's why omega one comes in 3 different size pellets laugh.gif

I'd use the small pellets. My fish get as many as they can in their mouths, and then chew on them for about 10 minutes, and swallow. smile.gif

Large pellets were the only size at the store when I bought these, but as long as I know they are supposed to be that hard no big deal. I'm watching my goldies work away at them now, I guess if it takes them a little longer to eat them it's no big deal!

If you have a credit card or what so ever

BTW click "check the bulk size" to order by the pounds, ten pounds for 100 dollars, that's what I'm ordering next laugh.gif

I've only seen the small pellets at our petstore...that's what I've got and my baby lionhead, Macy used to LOVE them! She had the hardest time grasping the concept of sinking food tho. She'd see them get dropped at the surface, lunge, and wonder why she had a mouth full of nothing but water tongue.gif

I just realized why some local pet stores don't have large ones, that's cause some of the gfs there won't see the inch of 6 cry3.gif

Yah I realized that as I was typing my reply above sad.gif

That's sad. Mine doesn't even have medium pellets.
