Micro Mix - Sinking Blended Diet for Snails, Shrimp & Bottom Feeding Fish (9 oz (255g))

I bought this product after doing a lot of research and seeing it recommended in a Facebook group. I was skeptical at first, but I ended up making the purchase for the bigger bag. My snails love it, and so do my shrimp. Even my fish eat it. I feel this product is a great value for your money. I still have a lot left, and I purchased it over four months ago. The pellets and waffle are a great size; they have all the nutrients my snails and shrimp need, and they sink quickly to the bottom of the tank. It's super easy to use; however, if you leave a pellet in the tank for long and it doesn't get eaten, it will rot and could spike ammonia. I will continue using this product as my shrimp and snails love it. I highly recommend it.

Very nice like the variety. Fish shrimp, and snails are all enjoying. I took a day for them to get used to it.

I recently tried Invert Aquatics Micro Mix, and I must say, it has quickly become a staple in my aquarium routine! This sinking blended diet is specially formulated for snails, shrimp, and bottom-feeding fish, and it certainly lives up to its promise of providing a nutritious and balanced meal. Upon introducing the Micro Mix to my tank, I was impressed by how quickly my shrimp and snails gravitated toward the pellets. The variety of sizes and shapes makes it easy for all my aquatic friends to find something suitable to nibble on. Watching my shrimp actively pick at the mix is a delight, and it’s clear they truly enjoy the taste! One of the standout features of this product is its high-quality ingredient profile. The Micro Mix is packed with essential nutrients, including spirulina and various algae, which not only support the health and vitality of my pets but also boost their natural colors. I’ve noticed an increase in activity levels since I began feeding them this diet, and my snails appear to be thriving as well. The sinking nature of this blend ensures that it reaches all the bottom dwellers in my aquarium, which is a significant advantage, especially for species that may miss out on surface feeding. Plus, I appreciate that the pellets don’t disintegrate rapidly, allowing my pets to take their time enjoying their meal without creating excess waste in the tank. Additionally, the resealable packaging is a plus—it keeps the product fresh and easy to store. The portion size is just right, making it convenient for regular feeding without worrying about overdoing it. Overall, I highly recommend Invert Aquatics Micro Mix for anyone with snails, shrimp, or bottom-feeding fish. It’s a fantastic product that delivers on nutrition, enjoyment, and overall health for my aquatic pets. If you're looking for a reliable and diverse food option for your underwater companions, this sinking blended diet is definitely worth trying!

So, this is a complicated review. Firstly, about the complaints about it clouding water... I've seen none of this. I have 2 nano tanks for bladder snails. A 3.5 gal and a 2.5 gal that I propagate plants in that I tested them in first which should definitely show clouding if they're going to. No clouding. Gave one to my shrimp and two baby mystery snails and the water was fine as far as clouding. Both the green pellet and the small round. The small round falls apart faster however. The wafers held up better than Tetra's Pleco Wafers. Second complaint people had - "It killed my snails/shrimp!" I haven't had a problem. I think what their problem was is they were working with a tank like mine that wasn't already cycling properly. My shrimp arrived a wk earlier than expected. Tanks don't truly start cycling for like 3 wks depending on the setup. So, I think that is people misunderstanding that this will inevitably cause a nitrites/nitrate spike when you feed a newly established tank and you'll probably have to do a water change after they're done. My 11 shrimp and 2 snails ate half a wafer in 24 hrs so obviously it tastes fine. They seemed to be able to digest it just fine as they pooped everywhere. Lol The ingredients look good, if that's what's truly in it, we never know. I can't really speak to it's nutritional content as I'm not an expert on inverts or a biologist. It's a bit small, but I'm not shocked. It's like they knew I came to get it out during the water change so they came back and ate the entire thing during the change. 😂 Those are the pics. Why there is a star missing... I was given a delivery date. Normal. Then it changed to be delayed. Alright. Then again... Then it said it wasn't going to arrive and when I went to ask for another product or a refund, refunds aren't available. Not even for undelivered packages? There wasn't any option beyond "No refunds." No thanks. Then it updated again and said I would get it the 14th. The 14th came and went and then it randomly appeared a day or two later. If I looked to check the tracking updates, it just said "left the facility" and that was it. No further updates until the day it was actually delivered. It said it was in route after it was delivered. Amazon is usually great, so I'm blaming the company for this one and the zero refund policy even if they don't send it? Not cool... I ordered cat grass from a company on here and I didn't receive it by the day after it was supposed to arrive. I contacted the company and they immediately responded asking if I wanted a refund or another sent. I chose the latter and it arrived the next day. A wk later, the orginal package showed after taking some slow boat. They were on top of it. I mean, it's not an Playstation. 😂 No refund... pssshhhh

These are the hottest commodities in my fish tank. All my cretins go nuts. Even my fish steal them from the shimp and snails. I even have to hide these from my cat! Great product!

Good food

Wish the discs and smaller drop ins weren’t mixed together. It’s hard to get what is needed out of the small bag and not overfeed

Bought this as a supplemental snack for my cherry shrimp and snails - they love the algae wafers. So far has helped me keep my critters fed in a fairly new tank.

Works.

Different size pellets, my fish enjoy it.

Overpriced

Not great at all. My mystery snail will not eat this, and leaves the tank every cloudy if you miss taking the food out. Not the best, and does not provide calcium
