    [*] #3 was a fairly descent size round pellet type food
    [*] #2 reminded of really fine dirt like (potting soil) consistency
    [*] PLANKTON COLOR BITS I tested on the fish, the Discus went nuts for them...so I'll definitely be ordering more of these in the future.
    [*] #1 is a super fine powder like food
    [*] the ALGAE WAFERS look identical to the Hikari Brand ones I feed which the discus normally attack, but for some reason they left these ones alone?
    [*] The CANDY was a cute jesture (brings back memories of my past neighbor who has passed on, she'd insist I leave with a handful as a child).

    Is #1 small enough for Endler's ? It looks like it to me but it's hard to tell from a picture.

    defin! it's moreso a powder like consistency (think along the lines of the powdered fry food).

    That is a high fat content in most cases
    For goldfish we try to keep fat under 10% @ 60% protein but goldie do metabolize fat very well

    They'll only receive small infrequent amounts since I mixed it with some other various foods I had left.
