## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this food suitable for a beta? The fish shop owner sold it to me for my beta but I would think sinking pellets aren’t good for betas.**
A: I think these are for bottom feeders. I have never had a Beta.  I think Betas do get pellets, but they are tiny.

**Q: I have carnivores plecos, would this be in ideal high protein food for them? Also what is the protein %?**
A: My supposedly herbivore bristlenose pleco loves the carnivore sinking pellets, which I got for my yoyo loach and large angelfish.  I make sure I add a sinking algae pellet about an hour before I add the carnivore pellet to make sure the pleco gets enough veggies.  Don't know the protein content, it's probably available through the manufacturer's website.

**Q: My fish love theses but what can i do to avoid the smell these give off in the water after feeding?? I have great filtration in my tank to..**
A: Perhaps cut back on feeding quantity a bit. I've noticed with heavy protein foods like this that unless consumed completely down to the bits and morsels often left behind, that your going to see more waste and debris in gravel often leading to the foul smelling water you described.

**Q: Will dragon gobies eat this**
A: Dragons are fairly blind so you need to get the food close to him. They will eat sinking shrimp pellets or Algiers wafers. You can use a straw by placing it close to him or his den and drop the food in the straw so he can find it.
