FYI: I ramble on the same thing in the video if you'd prefer that to the wall of text.
I like this food, I so badly wanted my fish to like it, but alas, they barely eat it. I love how it floats in the water and I think it is better at triggering hunting responses in my fish because of how it moves mid column.
It has the same great simple ingredients as the magic small fish feed, but in different quantities, yet my fish like the small fish feed over the community pellet and I think it's because of the hardness of the pellets.
My fish get really excited when it hits the water, but they nom on it for a bit then spit it out. After a while they just start ignoring the pellets floating around. In the hand the pellets have the same hardness feel as some other competitors pellets I've tried, which my fish also do not eat. The pellets aren't huge but I think their size exacerbates the problem of the pellets being too hard for them.
Could it very well just mean my fish are picky? Yes, but I'd keep it in mind if you have fish like mine who prefer soft foods.
So happy with my Betta Community tank; I couldn’t have done it without Aquarium Co-op!
Okay maybe not since sliced bread, but shrimp and my kuhli loaches love these shrimp caves. I have 4 in this tank and they all get used.
Magic Nano Feed, is good for Platies of all sizes, and they love this stuff. Glad I ordered another before they sold out.
Ordered this and it arrived within 3 days, the plant bag was a yellow color, hard to see in the video, and had a foul odor, when the plant was being removed it disintegrated during the process. Now the other plant in the order, pogestemon octopus, came in beautiful, no issues and of course everything else in the order came in no issue, first time having an issue with ordering and I’m certain it wasn’t their fault just sucks since it’s a $20 surcharge to order again, but I’m probably ordering this plant again soon to see if it was just a one time thing.
This plant is great in two ways:
1. Does well in the 83F of my discus tank.
2. Doesn’t get the black algae other plants struggle with.
I’m enjoying how fast it grows and how it converts from leafy to a long thin octopus look.
And it’s good in both substrate or floating.
It might very well be my favorite plant!

Easy peasy lemon squeezy to add to my ACO sponge filter. Really appreciate the video explanation. Took me all of 2 minutes to install. Flow has significantly improved and my filter is already looking messy from the additional suction.
I noticed that my Angel fish had paired and spawned. This product was great they are still in wriggle stage but I estimate at least 200 babies hoping they continue to do well.
When I first hatched BBS I used an off brand from eBay because it was cheap. They seemed fine to me. But the brine shrimp were frequently dead at 27 hours of hatch time. My fish still enjoyed them but they didn't jerk around and cause the feeding frenzy. I ran out of those eggs and bought some eggs at a LFS that is a retail partner. Holy cow were these different. The hatch rate appears to be much higher. The BBS are active for much longer and live much longer. I am so glad I made the change. I thought Cory was just hyping his product to sell more. But once again with ACO the hype was real. These truly are much better eggs than the competition. They aren't that much more expensive but are worth way more than the difference I paid.
Had great results new at hatching brine shrimp. Hope it will be in stock soon as I didn’t really want to try another brand because the eggs float at the top which makes harvesting so much more efficient.
These are by far the best sponge filters around, I’ve had several others and these blow them away I have them in my 10G and my 55G
My fish love these! They are well made and worth the money. The jar is actually all the way full of product, good to see! Honest company doing the right thing! Love these guys!
My shrimp and snails love these! I didn’t realize how many babies were in the tank until I dropped one in for them and I was swarmed. I would highly recommend them to anyone!
Arrived in excellent condition in less than 48 hours of placing my order. Already sprouting new leaves with amazing color!!!
They really do like it. Wasn’t sure it would be a favorite but this is there second one in a week. It will be gone in two days. Their activity level is way up.
I ordered two variety packs of plants and all the plants are doing excellent after 9 days. Lush green colors and fresh new growth are also apparent. The Willow Hygro in the center back of the video is doing exceptionally well with new growth and stems. The packaging was great and I didn't see any visible damage to the plants when unboxed. My tips: use Easy Green to keep nitrates around 40-60ppm. Place easy root tabes 1-2" on either side of all root feeders then adjust if needed a week later. I highly recommend Aquarium Coop for everything plants related. Visit their YouTube channel and forum for endless plants knowledge and care.
Have a dual and single outlet. Super quiet! Video is of the dual (the single is just as quiet). Currently connected to two sponge filters (nano and medium) in my 29gal. The single outlet is also connected to two sponge filters with no issues.
Note: my first dual started to be loud after a bit. No points were knocked off because the warranty claim process was painless. I sent a video and the order number and the new pump was in the mail the next business day. Thank you Sarina and Candi!
This is absolutely one of my favorite fish foods. The ability to stay in the water column to feed all fish at different levels is amazing and it’s also a game changer with fry in my opinion

You guys do a great job packing. Item got delayed and it was delivered a day late with no issue. Plants are healthy and green.
While I have fairly hard water, I still found this product very beneficial. My shrimp and snails really enjoyed this product. My shrimp went to the shells within minutes of it entering the tank. I would highly recommend this product for anyone with hard or soft water. Check out my review video below.

But it’s not so quiet. My HOB is quieter than this. It is nice but I’ll probably use this for my hospital or quartine tank and look for a quiet airpump
These plants arrived in PERFECT condition! I had a plastic plant in my new aquarium and when my new plants were delivered in the dead of winter I was pleasantly surprised! They look so good! I bought more!
Great store, great prices, great products!
The shrimp didn't seem to care about it right away, but after a few days they started to go crazy for it. I think it just needed a little time to start developing biofilm. I plan on ordering more in the future!
Generous amount. Growing like crazy. You can always count on Aquarium Co-op!
Packaging, speed of delivery and the quality of this and other plants was AWESOME. Thanks!
