I have a community tank mostly highlighting tropical angle fish along with mollies and some tetra’s. I was looking for a formulation that seems to be pretty complete including vegetable product. I am using the Formula Two Flakes for tropical fish and the fish “go crazy”. They love it. I’ve been using the product for about a month now and the fish look great, healthy with very nice color. I like the large flakes because I can crush them to the size I want when needed. I highly recommend this food.Hide
Fish love it but crumbles easily/pulverized in shipping
