Why Hobbyists Choose Magic Nuggets

- High-protein nutrition:supports color, growth, and recovery from breeding or shipping stress.
- Slow-sink format:surface and mid-water feeders both get a fair shot before pellets reach the substrate.
- Natural color enhancers:draws out reds, blues, oranges, and yellows.
- Two sizes:4 oz for home tanks, 16 oz bulk for breeders, fish rooms, and shops.
Feeding Guide
- Feed 1–2× daily.Drop in only what your fish eat in ~2 minutes, uneaten food fouls water.
- Vary the diet.Rotate in frozen or live foods (brine shrimp, mysis, daphnia) a few times a week for breeding condition and best color.
- Fast day each week.Helps digestion, especially for gouramis, goldfish, and bettas.
- Watch the fish, not the clock.Lively, surface-cruising fish = feed. Pellets piling up = cut back.

FAQ
Will my fish accept it?
Most omnivorous community fish take Magic Nuggets immediately. Stubborn or wild-caught fish may need 2–3 feedings to recognize it, try mixing in a tiny bit alongside their current food at first.
Freshwater or saltwater?
Both. Works as a daily staple for most omnivorous freshwater community fish and many omnivorous reef fish (chromis, anthias, smaller wrasses, etc.).
Are these pellets too big for small fish?
Yes, for nano fish like neon tetras, ember tetras, and small rasboras, use Aquarium Co-Op Magic Small Fish Feed instead. Magic Nuggets are sized for medium-and-up mouths.
Will it cloud my water?
No, clean protein with no fillers. Feed only what your fish can eat in ~2 minutes and water stays clear.
