Blue Ridge Fish Food, Mini and 3/16" Floating Pellet, Koi and Goldfish Growth Formula Blend

It's fish food, and our fish like it (I guess). We're not on speaking terms.

I purchased the pond food to feed my goldfish in my pond. The goldfish I purchased were sold as feeder fish several years ago and they have grown and bred so now they range in size from one inch to 6 inches. I didn't want to put down a lot of money on koi when I wasn't sure I could make them work. Now, they are so big and pretty, I'm just not going to bother with koi instead. I had been purchasing pellets and flakes through the local pet store, but it was expensive to keep up buying the smaller sizes all summer. I thought I would try one big bag instead. This bag cost about the same amount as one of the smaller canisters I bought at the pet store, and it equals about four canisters worth!. It comes in a re-sealable bag. I happened to have two old canisters still (one flakes and one pellets), so I just refilled them with the fish food from the bag and still have 1/2 a bag left. I was concerned the pellets would be too large for some of my little guys, but they are actually about 1/2 the size you get at the 'fish food' machines, where you put a quarter in to feed the fish at ponds and zoos. Another example would be they are the size of a small bead, or oat (but not flat). The pellets smell exactly like the Tetra brand fish food I've been feeding them in the past. I haven't tried a taste test (nor will I), but my fish seem to love it. I've been feeding it to the fish for about three weeks now and so far have seen no adverse affects. They were previously healthy and continue to be healthy and colorful and maybe even growing. The fish eat them well and I will definitely purchase again.

Good enough for me, I'm now on my third bag. I'm adding a video of me feeding the turtles. They seem to love this stuff.

My goldfish took a long time to finish the pellets at every meal. The pellets finally sunk and disintegrated. I was shocked to find the water turning very cloudy after about 2 weeks. There wasn't any change except the new pellets I gave them. They excreted a lot too compared to the previous food. I had to do a major water change and also changed the filters twice to clean out the water. This is a low quality fish food.

My goldfish absolutely love this fish food, as well as the turtle who has decided to take up residence in my pond. Other brands I have used they eat, but not like they attack this stuff (so I gave flavor 5 stars). The price is great too, so I don't mind the large amount the turtle eats! The pellets are about 1/8 inch, so most all my fish (most are 2-8 inches) can easily eat them. when there are babies around, I just crush a few for them. They float for a good amount of time and if I don't crush them the smaller fish can just nibble on the softened ones that have been floating awhile. My fish are beautiful and vibrant color-wise and appear to be healthy so I'd say this is a great food for comets and shubunkins.

This is an abundance of Koi food for not a lot of money. The macro-nutrient profile is comparable to other more expensive fish foods. My Koi definitely eat them. Not sure if they love them. Obviously I can't ask them how they like them vs. other foods I have fed them. But they are doing well. One caveat -- the pellets are fairly large compared to ordinary fish food, so Koi need to be about mid-size (around 6-8") before they will be able to handle this size food. A plus in my opinion is that they float so there is no food lost to sinking into the gravel.

This fish food reminds me of the Blue Ridge I normally feed. The fish seem to like it - so I'd say flavor is good. I did not taste it myself, though. I don't think I'd have the same opinion as the fish. You can't beat the price!The only thing I'd like to see offered is a bag with varied size pellets, since I have two new (small) koi that would benefit from smaller chunks. But this will work at the end of summer. I wish the zipper on the bag was heftier so that I felt confident the bag was sealed shut. Will move it to a different container for freshness/safety.Otherwise, I'm going to be buying Wardley from here out!

I cannot vouch for the "flavor" of these pellets but I know my goldfish love them.It is like a feeding frenzy each day when I feed them their measured amount.There is nothing left of the pellets in just a few minutes.I could not believe the price of the large bag compared to smaller sized bags that are more expensive.I thought it would take forever to use the entire bag but I am ready to order another this week.
