hello Max Ive never used the golden pearls.. i did try that cyclops ease a few years ago... i found my fish didnt go for the stuff, so i stopped using it, gave the can to a buddy of mine who had great success feeding it to his fry. Things worked better for him then me, dont know why but it did. I prefer using newly hatched BBS for my fry... i find it the best thing along with some micro worms..
