Just curious, has anyone with smaller fish tried this type if pellet?

I saw them today at LFS, and noticed that they seem to have a mix of 3 types of pellets in one to suit all fish...

So wanted to see if anyone has used them and how they compare to NLS 1mm pellets for finicky fish...

Do they help with color at all? Or would NLS be better for color?

Since i got some new community fish which i would love to see if i can bring more color out of them...

Here is a pic for reference...

I've used it for smaller tetras ect. it's not bad but its much smaller than NLS 1mm, more like NLS Grow formula .5mm. However for young fish I would use the NLS over this. For small tetras it isn't bad, I guess.

I used to feed it to my rams. I switched to nls and their color is much more vibrant. It's a good pellet but nls is better.

I use it for my betta and endlers and like it but haven't tried the nls for comparison.

Thanks for the info everyone...

@festaedan; so you found NLS seemed to bring out your fishes color more so than the hikari micro pellets?

Coz thats what im most curious about...
