Granules and Flakes

Pellet food Flake food

Granules or flake food?

You can find both here.
 

Advantages of granulated saltwater food

  • Sinks quickly and precisely → perfect for medium/bottom feeders (e.g., surgeonfish, seaweed eaters, bannerfish)
  • Higher nutrient density and better utilization (mostly extruded/soft)

Advantages of flake food for saltwater

  • Stays in the water column longer → ideal for surface and mid-level feeders (e.g., angelfish, dwarf angelfish, many colorful coral fish)
  • Spreads well in the tank → also reaches shy or hidden species - Disadvantage: often goes overboard into the drain shaft
