Pellet - Weekender Fish Food
Weekender Pellet fish food has many uses. It is hard, very stable and nutritious too. The typical white calcium encrusted weekend feeder is very inferior to this feeder. The Weekender fish food will last a couple of days without fouling the water. It can be used as a weekend feeder or a food for animals that don't easily compete. We use them heavily in our Apple snail tanks. The snails will actually out-compete fish for these. Our bristlenose love them too and you don't have to worry about more aggressive feeders getting them first. If you like keeping really large fish, this is a great daily food. Its 9mm size will attract even the largest of aquarium fish.
This pellet is very high in calcium making it great for snails and fancy shrimp. It's also very stable in water without fouling.
Packed in a Black Foil zip-lock bag, which will keep your food fresher for a longer time.

I mainly got this for my snails. I bought an extremely large snail shaped like a Trumpet Snail but big! Idk what kind it is bc the LFS employee didn’t know and their wasn’t a sign. I also have trumpet nerite and 1 mystery snail. They don’t really like the wafers and I have tried several different types. I have a lot of fish also so when I go for the weekend I know they will eat well! I wasn’t expecting 2 big bags which is awesome! Their packaging is top notch! I buy medicated food and flakes from Angel Plus also and I have to say.. I lost 2 Angels 2 Rainbows and 2 Bettas to internal parasites! I also had a betta with Popeye and 2 with Fin rot that survived due to their medicated flakes and cured them! It also saved over 50 fish from suffering. Due to that my only surviving Angel fish rejected all food but the Prevention flakes, which I knew should not be fed as a staple & that’s when I decided to try this pellet and some of the other flakes for daily feeding.. He is my only flake eater but I feel good feeding him this brand. I only wish I came across them sooner!
Amazing food for tanks with fry and or with parents
Does not cloud water
Slow Breaks down
Great growth rate
Fish love them
Great service and food is packaged so it can be resealed. Would recommend and will buy again.
These work wonderfully for feeding my snails and BN pleco fry. Every fish loves them and they take a long time to be picked apart. Not very messy like other sinking wafers can be.
Fish and snails love these things, last as long as your fish can devour it! Also check out their snail selection! Everything came alive and even got an extra light purple!

Don't be fooled into thinking a fish food is good just because fish readily eat it. Children prefer candy over broccoli, but it doesn't mean that candy is better for them. A taste preference can easily be acquired through hunger. Getting them to prefer foods that are also very good for them, is the trick. Even though it's not always needed, our way of getting them to develop a taste for a new food, works. It is described below.
Fish won't eat their new food? When switching to a new fish food, we highly recommend getting the fish very hungry. Often times, fish become accustomed to a particular fish food and will not eat another, no matter how good it is for them. When introducing a new food, we usually don't feed the fish for 24-48 hours, depending on the size of the fish, and then offer only one bite per fish (key to success). Remove food after 1 minute if uneaten. Do this every few hours. It may take several days, especially for larger fish that have become accustomed to other fish foods. Don't worry, fish can easily and safely go much longer than this without food. Allowing the food to sit uneaten in the tank for even a couple hours can turn them off to the food permanently. If you don't give in, this method works every time.
Using this technique, you can quickly get most fish to eat a new food like ravenous piranha without much effort. In fact, we have to be careful feeding, because they often jump out of the tank in their feeding frenzy. Watch some of our fish feeding in the below video. Keep in mind, they were first introduced to these fish foods using this technique.
