Review: My cichlids actually eat this without acting offended - This has been a good food for my cichlids. The pellets sink nicely, which helps because the food actually gets to the fish instead of floating around forever or ending up sucked into the filter. My fish go for it, and that’s honestly the biggest test with aquarium food because fish can be dramatic little underwater food critics. I like that the container is a decent size and the food doesn’t make a huge mess when fed properly. It’s a good option for cichlid owners, especially if you have fish that prefer food that sinks instead of staying at the top. No real complaints. I’d buy it again because it’s easy to use, the fish like it, and it feels like a reliable staple food to keep on hand.
Review: Have been using these sinking pellets for years for our Cichlid tanks! - We have several Blood Parrot fish tanks with about 12 Cichlids total. Due to the sensitivity of the Blood Parrots and how susceptible they are to swim bladder issues, we searched for a sinking pellet that the fish could/would eat and would help them maintain their beautiful orange color. Attached are pics of the color of the babies (almost yellowish at first) when we first bought them and after a few months of feeding them the Hikari Sinking Gold Cichlid Pellets (vibrant orange color). What a difference! I also attached a video of the first Blood Parrot fish we ever bought about six years ago that we have been feeding the Hikari Sinking Gold Cichlid Pellets to for years! She loses some of her color every time she lays eggs and she seems to lay eggs often nowadays or at least tries to. More about the food! We tried the smaller size Hikari sinking pellets but it seemed the smaller pellets would get overlooked by the babies and they couldn't seem to find the small pellets, so we went ahead and bought the bigger size to try them. The babies were able to see the larger size sinking pellets and it negated the risk of the Blood Parrots sucking in air while trying to feed off the top of the fish tank with either floating pellets or flakes. The pellet size was a little big for the babies at first so we would soak the pellets in a cup of fish tank water for a few minutes to soften the pellets up before feeding the babies the pellets. The babies will literally suck the softened pellets off the tank bottom with a small amount of food waste being expelled from their mouth as they swallow the pellet. The small amount of food waste from the softened pellets often gets sucked into the fish filter which helps keep the tank clean as a whole too! The food quality and nutrition is definitely top notch as seen by the color difference in our fish pictures! The Functionality of the sinking pellets works flawlessly, especially after soaking the pellets for a few minutes in a cup of tank water. The bag lasts us about two months as we don't overfeed our fish as we want them to avoid any gut issues. We also feed them Hikari Jumbo Bloodworms on occasion and shelled peas just to be safe. Blood parrots are picky eaters sometimes, but these Hikari sinking pellets seem to be a food they will eat daily for us!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My fish actually eat this instead of ignoring it
*by D***E on May 11, 2026*

I’ve had really good luck with these Hikari Cichlid Gold pellets. The pellets sink like they’re supposed to, which works way better for my fish than floating food. They seem more active during feeding time, and I’ve noticed less wasted food sitting around compared to some cheaper brands I’ve tried. The medium size works well for my cichlids, and the container lasts a pretty decent amount of time for a 2.2-pound bag. Water quality hasn’t seemed to get nasty fast with this food either, which is a huge plus. Definitely one of those “you get what you pay for” fish foods. My fish are picky little jerks and they still go after this stuff fast.
