## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long will this bottle last for a school of six Pygmy Cory catfish?**
A: My wife feeds her cory cats once a day a couple pellets each. She has 3 corys, and it lasts her close to a year so you should be able to feed yours for at least 6 months with 1 canister. I hope this helps. Take care.

**Q: used these for years, order received Jan 2021 to exp 7Dec2023 just opened this week is powder dry, floats, does not sink, just messy! Are these bad?**
A: I, too, received an order of pellets that floated and my fish rejected them.  It may have been same batch, but I don't recall.  Aqueon replaced it.  However, it is important to know now that the Aqueon Shrimp Pellets Fish Food I purchased recently is a mixture of smaller sinking pellets AND larger floating pellets.

**Q: Is this good for baby striped killifish?**
A: They are very hard pellets, and my Angel fish have to let them sit before they can eat them. They spit them out several times before being consumed. But all my freshwater fish love them.

**Q: How big are these pellets?  I have a 2" baby catfish and was wondering if these are too big.**
A: Fish about 2 inches long usually get 1 mm or 2 mm diameter pellets. These are about 4 mm diameter. .They also sink.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My eel and loach really enjoy these pellets
*by A***A on October 8, 2025*

My eel and loach love the Aqueon Shrimp Pellets! They sink quickly, making it easy for bottom feeders to get their share. The pellets have a stronger smell than some other foods, but it’s not overwhelming or unpleasant. They are small in size, which is perfect for bottom feeding animals. Overall, a great choice if you have bottom-dwelling fish or aquatic pets that enjoy shrimp-based food. Would definitely recommend, it is a great price for the value.
