Default Ocean Nutrition Pellets

Anyone feed either of these.



My fish don't seem to be interested in them at all...
I am curious if anyone else has more success with them.

I have the formula 2 pellets. They are fairly large and they sink right away. I have better success with the formula 1 and 2 flakes, also I have smaller pellets which float in the water a bit better before sinking, I think they are nutrafin, my fish like them better.

IMO the formula 2 pellets might be better for large size fish.

TomR was generous enough to give me some Form. One sm. pellets & my fish gobble them up like candy. But then again, I raise sw pigs, not fish

Moo is a bottom feeder and she'll gobble them. The others don't seem to bother.

My fish are still confused about the whole pellet thing. "Whats this lump? Gimme some flake!"

I'm still tryin though. My midas blenny sometimes recognizes the formula 1 but the formula 2 just looks like all the other algae floaters in the tank and the fish ignore it

I used it on my fish only tank and the tangs loved it. They were very healthy and their color was great.

I feed formula 1 pellets and my fish, shrimp and crabs love them as well as my anemone.

My fish won't touch the formula 1 pellets I had. I ended up giving them away (the pellets, not the fish ).

Also, I found that my anemones really didn't like them either. If it would accidentally injest on of the pellets, it would promply expell its stomach contents shortly after.
