Yummy!
Date: December 5, 2008
"My cory catfish LOVE this food. In fact, all my fish love this food. Fry eat it (I've noticed them swimming around behind the catfish as they tear at it and gobble up the flying crumbs), bottom-dwellers eat it, and, perhaps unfortunately, my platies won't leave it alone! I bought it for the catfish, but my other fish try to steal it from them whenever they can!"

My upside down catfish love these
Date: June 11, 2008
"I feed this food to my 2 upside down catfish. They love them. They are always hiding but come out as soon as I drop the food in the tank. They eat it all up. I wont try anything else."

I Love Hikari!!!
Date: April 23, 2008
"I bought these wafers to feed my Corydoras Catfish, and they just love them. I also have shrimp, and when the shrimp had babies, the babies would grab onto a wafer and swim off to eat, beating out six adult Corydoras! You've got to feed your bottom feeders, and this is a great solution. These wafers sink, and get soft slowly, so your bottom feeders get to "worry" the food until they can eat it. My slow to the dinner table Gold Gouramis pick at them also, which makes me worry less about them getting the nutrition they need to thrive."

AN OKAY PRODUCT
Date: February 3, 2008
"This product is ok. I bought the Hikari Tropical Sinking Wafers for Catfish, Loaches & Bottom Feeders
0.88 oz. I have a Corydora Catfish that is pretty small. All the rest of the fish were very competitive and didn't let him eat anything. So I decided to buy this and it worked.....for a while. Soon my catfish just let the wafers there on the ground and it would cloud the water. So I had to start cutting it in pices and gave it 1/4 of the wafer. Then their was no more left overs. Now it gets the nutrition it needs and my fish don't bother to eat his food. And better yet, my water doesn't get clouded anymore. !Yipee!"

Not working!!
Date: August 15, 2007
"I bought a catfish and the service man told me to use this food. I bought and took it home. when I got home I put in the wafer. It sunk. My catfish didn't even bother to look at it and it sat there and my brother's tiger barb ate it. I tried feeding the other fish flake food, they didn't eat it, but my catfish did!! So it might or might not work."

excellent product
Date: December 24, 2006
"i have several species of bottoms that love this. a dragon goby, 2 weather loaches, 2 raphael cats and a common and clown pleco. the 2 cats are EXTREMELY secluded and never come out....unless i toss a few of these in.
my cichlids will also attack these things as soon as they go into the tank, each running to a spot with a wafer in their mouths. and wont move until they have eaten the entire thing."

This fish food is really good
Date: May 13, 2006
"My fish are pretty picky as it goes with food. Some foods they dont evan try to eat. I was becoming desprete and asked a friend for help. He told me about Hikari and I dicieded to go to the store to buy some. When I got home I went to my fish tank and put in some food. My fish went right to it and started eating. Now I dont use very many other kinds of food. I think that Hikari saved my fishes lives."

Keep Up The Great Work, Hikari!
Date: December 23, 2005
"I started out using Nutrafin Tropical Fish Flakes, but even though it did the job, I could see that neither of my 27 fish in my 3 tanks enjoyed them a whole lot. Half of my fish didn't even bother to swim to the top of the tank to get them! Now, 3 years later, I'm here, a fish expert, and I use almost all Hikari to feed my fish, and they just won't get tired of it. All of their products were made with so much thought and care. They really do care about a fish's health, because none of my fish have ever gotten sick before! My 2 Bristle-Nosed Plecostromus love Hikari's Sinking Wafers the most, they will dart right into it and suck it up as fast as you can say Fiddledumplings, but all of my Algae Eaters, Plecos, Corydoras, and Loaches love it, as well as most other fish, which will snag them in their mouths before it hits the bottem of the tank! These pellets are reccemmended for anybody, they extraordinary!"

"Great product....my platys especially seem to love this as well. This gets all my shy catfish out from their hiding spaces so it is nice to be able to do a head count every now and again."
