Goldfish, Shubunkins, Lionheads, Fantails

Goldfish including Shubunkins, Lionheads & Fantails can equally be fed with flakes or pellets. Flakes allow smaller fish to take smaller bites and floats on surface whereas pellets are easier to dose and sink to the bottom where larger goldfish naturally look for food. API Goldfish Food includes spirulina, to enhance the vibrant colors of your goldfish, as well as garlic for appetite appeal, and it contains brewers dried yeast to provide essential micronutrients.

Feeding Guide: Feed twice a day the amount of food your fish can eat in 2 minutes.

Works well! Would buy again
I have around a 5 gallon tank, and I was gone for a week. with four fish total, the pyramid still has a lot left and I may try to reuse it or just see how long it lasts in general. I was really surprised how well it worked since I saw a lot of mixed reviews you can see in the picture that it dissolves and releases food over a few amount of days. there is a little bit of algae buildup by the filter, but that could have been there before, otherwise I have no complaints
Thank you for your feedback
