My platies' favorite foods are these veggie rounds and Fluval spirulina bug bites. I supplement flakes by droppind veggie rounds in the heavily planted areas, so that the fry do not compete with the adults.

This is going to be a long review but a very important one as I know quite a lot of people who are buying a product like this are looking to feed their SNAILS, there is NOT a lot of products out there that are snail safe and I will explain that now. So first of all I was mainly trying to find different types of foods for my Mystery Snails that didn't contain any sort of Copper Sulfates because if you didn't know Copper sulfates are harmful to snails and quite frankly can be very deadly. All my tanks contain snails whether they be nerites, pond snails, or my prized mystery snails. I first started feeding my snails a very popular and HIGHLY rated bottom feeder algae food-brand name Hikari- and of course the snails would eat other types of fish foods too that I was feeding my guppies and over the course of 6 weeks I started to notice that my snails were not moving much and not growing at all (they were young then) they wouldn't even come to their food anymore, the food would just sit there and make a mess until finally I started loosing my mystery snails. I made sure all of the water perimeters were perfect, I was even loosing pond snails (weird right). My first thought was the food might be bad so I threw out all of the fish food I had and bought all new foods for my fish and snails same brands and everything just made sure the batches were super fresh and that still wasn't making any difference. After losing 6 mystery snails, which I have to buy them online and that isn't cheap. Since All my fish were fine and doing great, No signs of anything wrong with them, I decided I really needed to look much deeper into this and quickly found out that Copper is deadly to snails even in the smallest amounts. I mean I really had no idea, this was the first time owning mystery snails. Of course I always had pond snails who doesn't? If you don't then you are super lucky. :) Anyway I just always assumed that when their numbers would rise and fall that was because I was either over feeding or not feeding enough. I read all of my fish food labels and sure enough every single fish food I had contained copper sulfates. All the top trusted brands! Fluval, Hikari,Tetra Min, you name it, its in it! Even brands that claim they can be fed to snails. So I went on the long search of trying to find food that doesn't contain copper sulfates and boy was that painful. I couldn't believe even top trusted brands that claim to be snail safe were in fact not snail safe. I searched for a few days online and only found just a few and bought 5 new kinds of foods and treats for my snails and guppies. I have since then stopped feeding all foods with any sort of copper in it and my snails have gone back to normal, they are faster than ever, well of course as fast as a snail can be. LOL :) So please read your labels. I have found 5 foods that do NOT contain copper sulfate and this one of them! My snails just love this food and believe it or not they even come running to it. :) Thank you for reading and I hope you found it to be useful! This will now be an item I keep in my feeding schedule.

Veggie Rounds for aquatic turtles are awesome but only able to find at PETCO or online

Bought these for my snails I'm happy theres no copper or vitamin d3 in them. Its surprisingly hard to find food without those in it.

No one likes it. Messy too. I tried in different days and 3 different tanks: guppy, goldfish, beta, otocyclus, celestial pearl danios, cory catfishs, red cherry shrimps, ember tetras.

Several of my Plecos go after this food as soon as it hits the bottom of the tank. Other fish pick at them as well.

When I got my first three goldfishes, a employee at Petco recommended a varied diet for them, and recommended this product and it's fun watching them nibbling it!
