Well I've been using this products for several months now and all I can say is that it's the best so far. I first bought the 1.34oz container to try it out since the employee at petsmart pointed out that it creates less waste then flakes so I did. After running out I decided to buy the omega one color flakes and my fish didn't even make an effort to eat it. After hearing great things from omega one I would of thought it was gonna make my fish happy but I guess my fish are just crazy about this food. I went back and exchanged the bottle for this bigger size one of 7.41oz and I'm happy. It's not so true about this product causing any type of outbreak in your tank, that's the owners fault for over feeding. I have a huge bioload in my tank for being over stocked and having a lot of fry but even crumbling up the crisp the baby fish can enjoy it as well. My top and middle swimmers love this food so much they go all the way down to eat more! So for my opinion my fish love the food, I love that's less waste and for anyone saying that it's too big then use your hand crumble a lil and feed the smaller fish, common sense. I recommend this product to any hobbiest out their that's looking into making their fish brighter and healthier and loves their tank clean.

My fish love this stuff! I've been buying it for several years now, and it makes a noticeable difference in the color of my fish. I started out with an outdoor pond in my back yard maybe 3' deep x 4' wide. I filled it in early spring with a dozen cheap feeder fish that came up to a whopping .60 cents. I bought them from Petco and I got the Tetra Color food at the same time just to prove that a stupid can of fish food cant affect the color of fish. Boy was I wrong! During the first year I fed them at least 3 times a day and sometimes up to 5 times a day. I only fed them what they could eat to avoid waste and cloudy water. In all honesty what I saw was kind of amazing. Lets be clear I dont work for Tetra nor do I want their prices to raise on this product which I've been paying $19 for at Petco currently $15 and always in stock at Amazon. Anyhow, in addition to them growing like they were on steroids (due to me overfeeding them) the colors were very vibrant. Feeder fish normally dont look like anything special, most of them are crappy, short life expectancy goldfish that are either a silverish gray or a bleached out orange color. Compared to before the change in color is as vivid as the one going from that old big back Zenith tv to a new Samsung LED tv, they are that much more colorful. If you havent upgraded your tv yet, then it sux to be you lol, but the fish are now almost as colorful as salt water fish (of the same color). There was one odd side effect. One single fish turned completely black, then over another year or so the gold came back in large patches but that fish and the rest are completely healthy. I did have to settle for the normal Tetramin (non color) food when the Color version was sold out (the large size is NEVER in stock at most Petco stores). The other gold fish got really orangey orange, almost Koi like in appearance. People just assume theyre Koi during the summer. I over feed them in the fall to fatten them for winter hibernation. I think they hibernate because I can stand on the pond in winter and pound it with a sledge hammer and it seems like its frozen solid. They cant swim thru the ice, cant surface, get no direct sunlight, and I cant feed them for at least 2 1/2 months. Those suckers are real survivors. So, where was I...oh yeah so after the ice melts I run the pump/filter and get right to 2 or 3 feedings daily. By May/June they are very big, very colorful, and very healthy. The only time I ever had a casualty was in the beginning I changed the water and didnt let it sit long enough and it killed the first round of fish. PH balance issue? I even reused some of the old water and they still died. But since then this group of 16 has been going strong, and I must say I swear by TetraColor crisps. My fish have developed a taste for this. I tried feeding them goldfish flakes, and I swear sometimes they give me the evil eye. They wont touch normal goldfish flakes, and they ignore the shrimp pellets. The only other thing I saw them eat was algae, a few ants/bugs that fell on the surface of the water and a few times I threw in a bag of 20 ghost shrimp to clean the bottom of the pond. That was like putting a shaved lamb covered in garlic and A-1 Sauce into a lions den. If I could afford to feed them live shrimp daily I would, but screw that I'll eat shrimp before a dang fish does. But as for the Tetracolor, it is a good healthy fish food, it doesnt get all soggy and sink to the bottom like ordinary fish food. This stuff holds together quite a bit longer ensuring that the fish have to surface to eat allowing you to get a good look at them and thats with the pump/waterfall running. Keep in mind that this food is designed for tropical fish, and Im using ordinary cheap feeder fish, and Im thrilled with my own individual results. Your individual results may vary obviously, and if you have an indoor tank with a fluorescent overhead light, you can see the fish up close and personal at all times to monitor results.
PS. I think this is what the smaller mom and pop pet stores use to get their inventory to look their absolute best. This in addition to clever lighting.

I wanted to tell you a few things I had not seen in other reviews.
There are two problems for me with this food. When you put the crisps into the water they spread out beautifully and then sink very quickly to the bottom of the tank like a sinking pellet type of food. The second problem is that these crisps are too large for smaller fish to eat quickly. The reason these two things are a problem is because I have top feeders and they don't want their food on the bottom of the aquarium where they have to compete with the bottom feeders for it. (I have food already specifically for bottom feeders) The size is an issue because the small fish have to pick at it repeatedly to get much, giving the bigger fish plenty of time to swoop in and eat the crisp whole. (I do have one tank that is just babies and they really don't care, they devour anything I put in there.)
This product appears nice and neat and is very easy to distribute into the tanks. As it sinks to the floor within 3 seconds of being placed into the tank, it does not get sucked into the filter like some flakes with as the flakes slowly drift around the tank (providing the perfect feeding environment for top and mid feeders)
In the end this comes down to your preference and what your fish like, I just wanted you to be aware a little more exactly of the details of this food. Best of luck to you and your fishes!

I like this Crisp product format as compared to flakes. Less waste crumbs and it helps with tank sanitation. My fish colors are significantly brighter with this food.
