It's called "Color Enhancing Goldfish Granules" By Aqueon. It says it's a registered trademark of Central Garden & Pet. I've not seen this brand much, really only at PettyCo.

It says slow sinking, but I soak them anyway. Has anyone else fed this before? I bought it yesterday or the day before and have been feeding it to the new goldies. They seem to like it a lot.

Fish food that uses meals isn't very good. It's best to use fish food that doesn't use meals.

I read somewhere else that it was the oppposite...? Or maybe I'm getting it confused with something else? I do mix it with a few other foods and I alternate which ones. Somedays its spirulina, others its frozen bloodworms/brine shrimp and I put a tiny bit of flake food with it for the Betta, since she has a hard time eating anything she can't fit in her mouth. She can't even eat regular Betta pellets, and refuses to eat the Betta flake food.
Yesterday they had some seaweed/kelp mixture. They didn't eat a whole lot, but really enjoyed swimming through the holes they made in it. It was all gone this morning, so I assume that they ate most of it.

Yes, I am currently using the product but only as a "treat" of a couple of granules per fish every other day. From reading the label it recommends to use as a supplement for daily diet. My fish love the granules & I never soak them.
