What is the main benefit of the large flake formulation?

Troubleshooting

Fish are not eating the flakes.

Ensure the flakes are fresh and properly stored. Try soaking the flakes in aquarium water for a minute before feeding. Verify that the fish are indeed tropical freshwater species and are accustomed to flake food. Observe if other fish are eating them; a shy fish might wait until others have finished.

Water appears cloudy after feeding.

This can indicate overfeeding. Reduce the amount of food given per feeding. Ensure you are not feeding more than can be consumed in 2-3 minutes. Check filter efficiency and perform a partial water change if necessary.

Flakes do not sink quickly.

These are designed as large flakes which float initially. They should soften and become palatable for most tropical fish. Ensure your fish are actively feeding at the surface or mid-water.
