I have used those with great success. I am a big fan of Hikari
foods. I haven't needed any lately because I brought home a 5-lb
sack of little bitty trout pellets from Elmer's convention, and
although they sink my fishes eat them greedily.

It makes me mad when I go to all the trouble of having Marta cook up about
a hundred drumsticks, and the guy at the Marineland says, "You can't throw
chicken to the dolphins. They eat fish." Sure they eat fish, if that's all
you give them. Man, wise up.
