Review: Great Fish Food for My Cichlids! - I’ve been using Xtreme Cichlid Peewee 1.5 mm Pellets for a few weeks now, and I am thoroughly impressed with this product! Here’s why I’m giving it a 5-star review: 1. Excellent Nutritional Value: I’ve noticed a significant difference in the health of my cichlids since I started feeding them these pellets. The balanced amino acids and boosted vitamins have definitely contributed to their overall well-being. My cichlids have become more vibrant, and their colors have really popped! 2. High-Quality Ingredients: The ingredients in these pellets are top-notch. They contain everything my fish need for optimal growth and overall health, including high-quality protein, which is essential for my cichlids’ active lifestyle. I also love that they’re rich in omega fatty acids, which helps promote healthy skin and fins. 3. Great Size for Small to Medium Cichlids: The 1.5 mm pellets are the perfect size for my cichlids, especially the smaller ones. They’re small enough for them to easily consume, but they’re still packed with enough nutrients to keep them satisfied. I like that I don’t have to worry about overfeeding because the pellets are easily digested. 4. Easy to Feed: This food is so easy to feed, and my fish seem to love it! I’ve tried a variety of pellets before, but this one seems to be the most appealing to my cichlids. They swim right up to the surface when I feed them and eagerly eat the pellets, which tells me they really enjoy it. 5. Clean Tank: I’ve also noticed that these pellets don’t cause any water clouding or excess waste in my tank. The pellets break down properly and are easy for my fish to consume, which means less waste and cleaner water for my aquarium. 6. Great Value for Money: The price is very reasonable for the quality and quantity you’re getting. The bag lasts a while, and I’m confident I’m getting the best possible food for my fish without breaking the bank. Final Thoughts: If you’re looking for a high-quality, nutritious, and affordable food for your cichlids, I highly recommend Xtreme Cichlid Peewee Pellets. They’ve really improved the health and appearance of my fish, and I’m confident I’m giving them the best food possible. I’ll definitely continue using this brand for my cichlid care. 💯 Five stars – a must-have for any cichlid owner!
Review: An Awesome food from an Awesome Brand! - I originally bought this years ago as it was a recommendation from Cichlid Bros on YouTube. I've used Xtreme for about three years now and tested some other brands such as NLS and Northfin. My fish do eat Northfin but if there is one food that every single fish even the most finicky would eat, it's Xtreme. Even my Blue Eyed Lemon Pleco goes for the pellets and has put on size. I don't even have to buy food specially for him because he immediately comes out just for the pellets! Every fish I have kept has put on healthy weight, good size and amazing colors because of this food. Think of a well balanced meal all in one pellet. The flakes are also a hit and I've raised some healthy looking Severums on their Spriulina flakes and everyone goes insane for the Krill flakes. They splash water out the tank when I open the lid and am about to feed them, that's how crazy they get when it comes to this food! Even as a brand they are actual professionals in the Fish keeping world. Florida Exotic Fish Sales are the makers of Xtreme and they are one of the biggest breeders of African Cichlids and Tropical Fish in the United States. Their fish are some of the highest qaulity and when they were asked what they feed the fish so many times they decided to make Xtreme Aquatics. It's nice to see a brand that designs products that they actively use. This food also does not cloud up my water at all or spike any parameters or give the water any smell. Oddly enough the smell of the pellets remind me of Peanuts. Excellent food from a excellent brand! There are some QA issues with a pellet or two but nothing to be considered about!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fish love it, my favorite mbuna pellet to date.
*by D***T on December 28, 2023*

A little on the expensive side, but my mbuna love it! The older size is perfect and the nutritional value is great for a 'dry' food. It is a bit on the expensive side, but it's worth it to see the vitality and vivid colors of the fish. I also like that its slower sinking than many other pellets - This allows my fish to consume it before it gets lost in the substrate. As a result, there's little to no food waste and I have no worries of it fouling the water.
