It stinks is large and for all my fish didn't provide the best color really didn't even change color from cheap fish Food. I recommend NLS pellets gave all my fish better color they love it and so far has even helped a fish heal from a spot on his head when massivore did nothing. I have all sorts of fish and they all took to it fast. Even my super picky Jack started eating these pellets and eats then more actively than the hikari pellets carnivore and massivore. So over all it's cheaper and I have had and will have far better results. Check Amazon for buying fish food good prices. But take my advice buy NLS it's great stuff.
