Its a good all around pellet over the cheap o' food. Look at the ingredients vs cheap food. Quality foods will have whole fish/krill meal as the #1 ingredient. Cheaper foods I have seen everything from corn to soybean as the #1 ingredient. The way I see it, I allredy dropped a grip on the tank, spent the effort setting it up and waited patiently to get the healthiest best looking fish I could get my hands on, so when it comes to shelling out 7 bucks for a can of cheap food vs 14-17 bucks for a lb of top notch food I will take the good stuff. I prefer Danichi/NLS mix myself.
