Hikari cichlid staple very hard?

[Jkempel]

About 2 weeks ago I bought this for my fish to try out and since 3 day my Oscar eats it .
But when he eats it I can hear him chew very loudly like crushing sounds, so my question is this normal?
I throw the the pellets from the bag immediately in the water

Yep it's normal for them to be hard but if it bothers you, you can always pre soak them to make them soft

Just as with any other hard food (dog food, cat food, etc) they soak water and get softer.

May wana try new era cichlid formula. It comes already soft. Infact u can take multiple pellets and smash them together to make larger or different shaped ones. And they are sinking. I like it. Its new era, not to be confused with new life spectrum.

pre-chew them if they're too hard. or use a small set of pliers to crumble them into smaller pieces for the smaller fish.

Thats nice your fish easily and readily eat the pellets........Try color enhancing pellets.................
