Competitiveness
Taste-wise, my blood red parrot prefers hikari over fluval and fluval over aqueon.
These pellets are enjoyed by my koi just as much as the pellets for goldfish which cost much more.
In this review, i compare fluval bug bites cichlid pellets against aqueon cichlid pellets and hikari blood red parrot pellets.
Guaranteed analysis indicates the following:- aqueon has the highest min crude protein at 42%; fluval and hikari are tied at 40%.
