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. If fish are new to the food, introduce it gradually or mix with their current food.
Water quality is declining.
Reduce the amount of food offered. Ensure you are not overfeeding and remove any uneaten food promptly. The large flake design helps, but proper feeding is crucial.
Flakes appear to be breaking down too quickly.
Soak flakes briefly before feeding. Ensure adequate water flow in the tank helps disperse food, but avoid overly strong currents that can break up flakes prematurely.
