I can't feed the sinking type to my Oscar and GT. I will drop it in front of them and and they just seriously dont understand. I use the floating type, works well for me. How much is that Cichlid Gold type though. I have the Cichlid Staple, you notice any difference using the gold. I would like to upgrade, but if it doesn't really do anything I might as well stick with the Staple. It's much cheaper, bought the biggest bag they got at Petsmart only cost me 7 bucks.
