Aqueon Goldfish Fish Food Slow Sinking Granules, 5.8 Ounce, 100106053

Carp/goldfish doesn’t keep well in the fridge so I was pleased to find this product on Amazon. I usually use broth when making my famous soup for gatherings with friends and family, and it’s just not the same without that fish umami. These goldfish flakes have a fantastic flavor and gives you that fishy component for dishes without needing to keep fresh fish in the fridge.

I have goldfish living in a pond in my back yard. They range in size from finger length to the size of my hand. They love this stuff! They'll dive right after it as it sinks. I get this because most department stores where I live don't carry sinking fish food. The pet store where I got these fish from when they were little 'feeder' or minnow sized fish was feeding them a sinking pellet, so when I got them home that's all they were used to. They would ignore the floating pellets and flakes. I'm glad that I can find them a food that is similar to what they are used to.

The goldfish seems to like these granules. They do sink most of the time, but I recommend holding them in the water a second before you drop them to make sure they sink. That way they don’t float away and end up in your plants or going to waste in places where the fish won’t find them. Don’t give too many at once- what they can eat in a minute or two is enough.

Fish loved it once they figured out where it was on the rocky bottom.I needed a food to prevent my fish was getting too much air and switched from flake. My two goldfish have been getting bloated tummies and was looking for something healthy and effective to switch over to and this seems to be going over quite well with the greedy little monsters. My only complaint was the granules sink like stones to the bottom so for two fish that have always had flake food that the skim off the surface then as it floats around the tank, getting to to figure out they had to start on the aquarium floor was a bit challenging at first.High quality ingredients, not smelly like some other fish foods, they seem to enjoy it, no tank clouding, and definitely seems to be improving both the tummy air bloat and their digestion. Happy with the results so far.

Been feeding this to my fish for a while now. They eat it. Don't complain unless they dont get none. Then they splash the water until I tell em to stop. Can't reward that behavior. They are still alive.

Good product and I like having it delivered to me instead of going into a stinky pet store! We bought some 'feeder' goldfish at least ten years ago, and they are now beautiful, about 8" long even though they're in a 24" wide tank. We enjoy watching them swim, especially the ones with the long and flowing fins. This food keeps them healthy and colorful, and the pellets are not messy. Flakes are hard to get from the container to the fish without some landing outside the aquarium. So I'd recommend this product instead of flakes.

These are definitely not slow sinking. They fall directly to the bottom of the tank before the fish even notice the pellets.
