Questions
Can I feed this to my assassin snail? I saw copper in the ingredients but is it a significant amount? enough to kill it?
- All living creatures require necessary minerals and copper is one of them. As long as you do not overfeed your fish and follow the feeding instructions, there should be no issue with your snails, shrimp or any other little creature in your tank.

Would this be a good food for bumblebee catfish? I know they eat blood worms and bog larva.
- They are kind of big like the size of an algae pellet they can pick at it I would suggest shrimp pellets they are smaller and sink.

Anyone use this for their axolotl? Mine are just babies 3in.
- There are TWO different versions. Tropical Sinking Carnivore Pellets are for LARGE animals. REGULAR Sinking Carnivore Pellets are smaller. Good Luck finding the Regular version. Most Pet Stores only sell the Tropical.

Will this bulk up if Feeding triggers and groupers? I’m trying to get my grouper off of krill and squid. Should I just starve him and keep feeding the pellets?
- Sinking Carnivore is a great live food substitute as the texture once in water is similar to that of live food and the protein level is also higher than most foods. Best of all the nutrient package is scientifically balanced to unlock all the nutrients to be used by your aquatic pet. Excellent choice!

How many pellets should I feed to a rope fish (aka reed fish), that is around 8''?
- We suggest soaking the pellet in some aquarium water for about 5 minutes before feeding and trying one pellet two times per day. If any is not eaten after 2 minutes remove the uneaten amount from the tank and adjust feeding down to match amount eaten.

Is Hikari Tropical Sinking Carnivore Pellets good for stingrays?
- Yes and as they grow larger your can migrate up to Massivore Delite.

pictus catfish and other carnies
- Thank you for your question. Because catfish are omnivores and bichir are carnivores, they will eat this food. However, you may want to provide a vegetation-based food for the catfish as well, since they do eat both meat and vegetables. ajl

Could I feed this to my aquatic frog?
- Thank you for your question. The Hikari Sinking Carnivore pellets are fine for larger carnivorous aquarium fish so depending on the size of your frog these might be too big of a pellet. We would recommend the Tetra Fauna ReptoMin Frog Granules; item# 73546 as these are made for aquatic frogs. We have enclosed the following link to the product: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=22832

How many would be good to feed 2 Albino Cory Cathfish?
- I would feed them 6 carnivores pellets especially if that’s all your fish? I have 10 large cichlids and 2 large bottom feeders, loach and synditonites catfish ( spelling??) I feed mine 30-35 pellets a day and they devour them, also its obviously tasty??
