True Feed pellets are meant for farms which usually raises their fish in ponds. So they don't have the concern of clouding the water up. My water gets really cloudy but only if I overfeed. Which is what I do as I like to feed my fish until they can't eat another bite. I know some people that use the same food and their tanks are clean and clear. So the key to it is. Strong Filtration and not overfeeding.
