Nice size even for larger fish. Part of a varied diet for my 120 gal tank.
I have a pleco, parrot hybrid, and two silver dollars. The parrot and silver dollars are about 20 years old. I had some other fish but they recently died of old age (20+ years old). I try vary what I feed them – vegetables, cichlid sticks, and algae pellets and discs. These are a nice addition and the fish like them.

My eel and loach really enjoy these pellets
My eel and loach love the Aqueon Shrimp Pellets! They sink quickly, making it easy for bottom feeders to get their share. The pellets have a stronger smell than some other foods, but it’s not overwhelming or unpleasant. They are small in size, which is perfect for bottom feeding animals.Overall, a great choice if you have bottom-dwelling fish or aquatic pets that enjoy shrimp-based food. Would definitely recommend, it is a great price for the value.

Great food
Every fish in the tank loves it. Top swimming fish will dive to the bottom of the tank to ate it.

fish like it, just a little too big
I have three cory catfish that are constantly working the bottom of my tank and I am sometimes concerned that there may not be food getting to them.I bought these to drop in a few times a week just to make sure they have enough.The fish definitely like them and will eat them pretty fast. They sink immediately 80% of the time. I have a strong current so they never end up where I want them but the fish find them eventually. The floaters eventually sink and get eaten.What I do not like is these are too big to be eaten immediately. They take at least 15 minutes to absorb water and soften. They eventually get eaten but the catfish tend to push them into the gravel when they first fall and can’t be eaten right away.Other than some float and they are too big to eat by small cory cats immediately, they do the job of making sure the cats have food to eat.The jar is huge and was priced fairly. That is a bonus. If it expires ill take it to the lake when I fish and use it as chum. Bass, bluegill and chanel catfish will like it too.

Good value.
I have 7 long fin black skirt fish, and 2 albino catfish, and they all love this stuff. It’s a change in the diet that my long fins crave. It keeps them from eating my plants so it must be nutritious and good quality.

Pellets drop, pleco snaps—peace gone, chaos fed.
Dropped one in. My pleco emerged like a submarine on a snack mission. He bulldozed a snail, ignored gravity, and suctioned that pellet like it owed him rent. The tank’s now a crime scene—algae untouched, shrimp traumatized, pleco victorious. These pellets don’t just sink… they summon. 10/10 would fuel the chaos again.

Freshwater Eel and Angelfish Approved!
Generous amount and affordable. My fresh water angelfish and peacock eel seem to like them and they do not stink when you open the container. I will buy more in the future. Great product.

My fish love them

When I drop these in the the water they seem to get a little air bubble attached to them for a second or two causing them to float just below or on the surface for a moment before they drop slowly to the bottom. It gives the fish a chance to zero in on them before they go. The fish love them.
