Max, I got a hold of some Golden Pearls (I'm not too sure which kind it was . . . I think there are several flavors) and I didn't have too much luck with it for new fry (like John . . . some people do!) BUT I did mix it with some finely crushed flake and several other dried and freeze-dried foods and it was WONDERFUL FOR TETRAS AND THE LIKE smallish fish. Even some of the fully grown apistos just rushed to this great mix of dry foods. I now always have a mixture I made up of these dry foods in a can ready to feed any time I just walk past some of the tanks. I don't usually use it for a complete feeding but more as an "I'm walking by and here's some food" type of meal . . . the tetras just go nuts over the dry food after they get used to it.
