FAQs

Are these pellets suitable for baby fish?

HERONS Micro Pellets are small but are primarily designed for adult tropical fish. For fry or very young fish, specialized fry or starter foods may be more appropriate.

How long do the pellets stay fresh after opening?

When stored properly in a cool, dry place with the container tightly sealed, the pellets should maintain their quality for approximately 6 months after opening. Always check for signs of spoilage or unusual odor.

Can I feed this to saltwater fish?

No, HERONS Micro Pellets are specifically formulated for freshwater tropical and ornamental fish species.

What is the main difference between the different sizes available?

The different sizes (e.g., 25g, 150g, 800g) refer solely to the quantity of food in the package. The formula and quality remain consistent across all sizes of HERONS Micro Pellets.

How does the sinking action benefit my fish?

The sinking action ensures that fish species that prefer to feed from the bottom of the tank, such as Corydoras, loaches, and many cichlids, can easily access the food. This prevents food from floating and potentially fouling the water, and ensures all fish in a community tank receive adequate nutrition.

Is this food good for fish with specific dietary needs?

The formula is enriched with spirulina and spinach, providing essential vitamins and minerals. While it's a balanced daily feed for most tropical fish, fish with highly specialized dietary requirements might need additional supplements or specific foods.

Troubleshooting

Fish are not eating the pellets.

Ensure the pellets are fresh and have been stored correctly. Try introducing them gradually alongside their current food. Verify water temperature is within the optimal range for your fish species. Some fish may need a short adjustment period.

Water appears cloudy after feeding.

This may indicate overfeeding. Reduce the amount of food given per feeding and ensure fish consume it within 2-3 minutes. Increase the frequency of partial water changes if cloudiness persists. Check your filtration system is adequate and clean.

Fish colors do not appear enhanced.

Consistent daily feeding over several weeks is typically required to see significant color enhancement. Ensure all other water parameters (pH, temperature, water quality) are optimal for the specific fish species, as stress can inhibit color expression.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: HERONS Micro Pellets are highly compatible with a wide array of tropical and ornamental fish species, including but not limited to guppies, tetras, cichlids (including discus), bettas, corydoras, loaches, and other bottom feeders. They are suitable for both single-species and multi-species aquariums.

Feeding Instructions: Feed your fish 2-3 times a day, only what they can consume within 2-3 minutes. Overfeeding can lead to water quality issues. For bottom feeders, ensure they have access to the sinking pellets after the other fish have finished feeding.

Storage: Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain freshness and nutritional value. Ensure the container is sealed after each use. Recommended storage temperature is below 70°F (21°C).

Care: While the product itself requires minimal care, maintaining good aquarium water quality is essential for your fish's health. Regular water changes and proper filtration will complement the nutritional benefits of HERONS Micro Pellets.
