Product description
Bonus variety packs included: Each jar also ships with sample packs — a 4-type wafer assortment (1/2"–12mm) featuring spirulina/algae, ultra-worm, ultra-shrimp and color-boosting sinking wafers, plus a 12-type ultra mix that contains 1mm, 2mm and 3mm pieces of both floating and sinking California Blackworm and intense-color pellets.
Established quality product: This formula continues a long-running line from a multi-generational aquatic foods maker; it’s a tried-and-true recipe many hobbyists have relied on for feeding a range of aquatic animals.
Product appearance note: Photos are illustrative. Pellet hues and exact dimensions can shift slightly between batches due to natural ingredients and production variances.
Versatile feeding solution: Formulated for a wide array of aquarium inhabitants — cichlids, discus, angelfish, bettas, koi, tetras, goldfish, parrotfish, marine species, axolotls, snails, shrimp, plecos, flower horns, gouramis, loaches and many catfish and other bottom-feeders.
Family owned business: Produced and distributed by Aquatic Foods & Blackworm Co., a family-run outfit operated by a third-generation aquarium hobbyist focused on quality feeds for fellow keepers.

Supplied in a resealable 10 oz jar to preserve freshness and simplify portioning at feeding time.
