Love the product I highly recommend it thank you Adam Altman Review: My Oscar Fish Absolutely Loves This Food - I picked this up for my tiger Oscar, and it’s been a huge hit. He gets excited the moment I go near the tank with the container and eats it right up every time. The food itself seems high quality and appropriate for larger, more aggressive fish like Oscars. The pieces are a good size, and they don’t just fall apart or cloud up the water, which I really appreciate. I’ve also noticed he stays active and looks healthy, with great color, so it seems to be doing its job nutritionally as well. Honestly, the biggest selling point for me is just how much he loves it—no hesitation, no leftovers. If you have an Oscar or similar fish, this is definitely worth trying. ## Features - CICHLID FORMULATION: These protein-rich flakes are specially designed for use as a staple food for top- and mid-water cichlids. - FOR DAILY FEEDING: Nutritionally balanced diet for optimal health, color and vitality – supports a long life. - PROCARE FORMULA: Helps support fish’s immune system for optimal health and long life. - CLEAR-WATER FORMULA: Will not cloud water when used as directed. - CONTAINS BIOTIN: Helps maintain a healthy metabolism. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Age Range (Description) | All Life Stages | | Brand | Tetra | | Flavor | Sticks | | Item Form | Stick | | Item Weight | 13.44 ounces | | Number of Items | 1 | | Special Ingredients | Potato | | Specific Uses For Product | Food | | Unit Count | 11.3 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** All Life Stages - **Brand:** Tetra - **Flavor:** Sticks - **Item Form:** Stick - **Specific Uses For Product:** Food ## Images ![Tetra Cichlid Floating Cichlid Sticks Fish Food, 11.3 oz - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81HAws0gt0L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Tetra floating sticks used to sink slowly after a few minutes. the last container i bought, they don't sink... why ???** A: Because as it states in the title, they are floating sticks, not sinking ones.
