MICROBE-LIFT Ecological Labs MLLSPMD Microbe Lift Sinking Pellets Fish Fo

I bought this for our pond that has Koi and goldfish. No issues with the food or the bag itself, but it is expensive for the amount of food that you get. Our fish do like it. It arrived quickly and in good condition. Only gave it four stars because of the price. It’s a lot of money for not too much food.

It sinks while triggering a feeding frenzy. If you want to watch them eat, I recommend feeding your fish half a teaspoon or a teaspoon (pinch) at a time; otherwise, most of it will sink to the bottom.

Needed a food for my koi that I could feed without training them to come to the surface - the raccoons wiped out our previous population and I think the fact that they had learned that food would be there at the surface whenever there was movement there. (For ten years I had fed a food that floats.) I lost 13 koi in two nights and I figure they just served themselves up. Some were well over a foot long and having had them for ten years I was devastated. I replaced seven of them this Spring and have been feeding ONLY this since. As advertised, it sinks immediately so that my koi have not acquired the habit that I used to enjoy (but now realize was the basis of their demise) of coming to the surface to greet me. Instead, the six I have now cruise the bottom excitedly, waiting for their food which sinks promptly - and they've grown from a couple of inches to 8 inches plus! Very happy with this!

Excellent source for your ponds or fish tanks.

My large koi fish love it!
