Hikari Tropical Micro Pellets (0.77 oz)
$5.80
Tiny semi-floating pellets for small-mouthed community fish — tetras, rasboras, guppies. Size appropriate where a normal pellet is too big, and readily accepted.
Pros
- Micro pellets are size appropriate for small-mouthed fish that spit larger food out
- Semi-floating — they float at first then slowly sink, so mid-water fish take them; readily accepted
- High protein with krill and colour enhancing ingredients, vitamin stabilised
- Hold together with low waste and no clouding, and are easy to portion for a small tank
Cons
- Very small pellets are easy to overfeed — use a tiny pinch
- Too small to satisfy larger fish
