Granules and Flakes
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
