After testing many, many different formulas for fish food pellets, our community fish unanimously love this high-protein, floating pellet. Every time we feed it to our livebearers, goldfish, bettas, barbs, and midsized tetras, they excitedly swarm to the top of the tank like a pack of mini piranhas. The pellets stay afloat at the water surface for an extended long time and are the perfect size for 1.5-4 inch fish.
Extended Hang Time
Our Community Pellet floats for extended amounts of time. Even if fish or filtration knock it lower into the water column it tends to float back to the top. This makes it easy to control feeding in your community tanks.
Perfect for Community Fish
This food handles 90% or more of all the community fish. Livebearers, midsize tetras, angelfish, barbs, and more. Basically anything that will feed from the surface will love it.
Whole Anchovy Meal, Whole Krill Meal and Whole Shrimp Meal
Your fish and shrimp will go crazy for this food because we've packed it
with great protein sources. Wheat Flour as the main binder to keep it
together and a multivitamin supplement to fill in gaps of your fish and
invertebrates dietary needs.
Higher Protein Means Faster Growth and Colors
Unlike most fish foods you buy at the pet store, our protein-packed formula is filled with 55% protein to grow fry quickly and color them up faster.
This is the best food, it hovers in the water column from top to bottom. Very easy to tell if you have over fed.

Great Fish Food!
I have been feeding this food for a couple of weeks now and my fish really enjoy it. It stays floating for an amazing amount of time. I tested it on a empty tank and I still had a couple of pellets floating that were still floating the next day (12 hours later). Amazing food for you medium sized fish. Highly recommend!

Apistos Like It
#1 thing to know about this food is the smell is like 1/4 the smell of the magic small fish feed. So when you open the container, your wife isn't gonna ask what died, and your dogs aren't gonna be harassing you for a taste.
It seems like my fish really like this pellet, especially my apisto macmasteri. They like feeding from the surface, and about 95% of these will stay floating/float back up if they get pushed down. The other 5% will slowly sink and then stick to whatever it hits for the most part.
I'll probably be buying this for my community tank, and my apisto pair when they're not breeding. Definitely seems like the fish really like it.
As a side note, sometimes it looks like 20% sink and don't float back up, and sometimes there are only a few pellets that'll sink. Not sure if it's luck of the draw, or currents or what. I'm sure I'll notice a pattern once I feed it more, but sometimes I'm surprised at how many sink.

I wrote a previous review and wanted to put in a video of African Cichlids eating this food.
Neolamprologus Brichardi and a Julii - pretty happy!

Incredibly Fun to Feed!
What an awesome food! It’s a great size—auto feeder friendly, fry and large fish alike go nuts for it. Shrimp and snails carry it around munching on it. It’s so much fun watching for 5 minutes or so after a feed. Everyone comes out to munch! I highly recommend giving it a try!

Not for me.
My adult female guppies and platys don't seem to like it. It takes too long to soften up and when they do eat it the pellets are still dry. Dry pellets can't be good for them.

Revising my previous review
I previously gave this food a 4 out of 5. I am changing this to 5 as my Mollies and Guppies have really taken to this! They eat it quickly. Previously, they did not have such an energetic response. Additionally, this is a good food when you want the pellets to stay at the top of the tank.

Great food
All fish eat this! Would love an even bigger version for my large/mature fish!

What wizardry is this?
I am a simple man with a simple mind who likes to keep glass boxes of water. I don’t pretend to understand the magic that keeps Easy Community Floating pellets suspended in the water for so long. What I do know is that it keeps my otherwise lazy fancy goldfish active and animated with every feeding. After three days of feeding, they are no longer indifferent to me…they acknowledge me….they finally acknowledge me.

Good food for adult guppies and ricefish
This is a great follow on food size to the “Magic Small Fish Food” as fry grow into adults.
In a community tank, we feed this food first to feed the adults and then follow up in about a minute with “Magic Small Fish Food” to feed the fry. The adults still eat some “Magic Small Fish Food” but not as much as they do without feeding this food first.
I will say, for guppies and ricefish, if you are only going to buy one food get the “Magic Small Fish Food”
