Overveiw:

Before reading this review, stop, go back and read the ingredient list identified above. What more needs to be said? Were are you going to find a better ingredient list for a flake food. 

Omega One is a trusted name in foods with perhaps the highest quality ingredients of any fish foods on the market. As their marketing identifies, their initial ingredients are of human consumption quality. Their use of whole fish, instead of the standard fish meal found in most other foods, is a very positive indicator of a quality food. "Fish Meal" usually consists of the unedible leftovers after the remainder of the fish has been processed for human consumption. Omega One's uses "whole fish" in the processing of their foods, not just the left overs. The inclusion of "Whole Shrimp", "Whole Krill", and "Fresh Kelp", as well as an impressive combination of vitamins and supplements, is an absolute indication of a quality product, from a company you can trust, using raw materials from the USA, from an American company.

This is a flake food that makes you feel good that you are feeding it to your fish. Even better, you should feel good feeding this food to your fish, it's not just marketing.

This flake food is a staple in all of my tanks, excluding the Oscar Tank. I feed it to livebearers, Angelfish, Tetras, and Gouramis.

Pros:

• Quality: Omega One is a quality brand and this flake foodt is no exception, using all fresh, home-grown ingredients, not meals imported from China.

• Ingredients: The ingredients are what makes Omega One. As mentioned before, Omega One's ingredients may be of the highest quality available in any fish food. Nuff' said.

• Flake Size: This flake food is a good size for its intended use. If you want to feed this flake to large fish, you need to look elsewhere. This is a perfect sized flake for fish the size of Angelfish and smaller.

• Palatability: Fish will devour this food. With some flake food, fish will take them in, find them distasteful, and spit them back out. Not so with Omega One Freshwater Flakes

Cons:

• Availability:  I purchase most of my fish supplies from FosterandSmithAquatics.Com and they have never carried Omega One products. Nor has my secondary online store of preference (BigAlsOnline.Com), until recently. Big Al's has started carrying some Omega One products but not this one. However, there has been a recent push by Omega One to make their products more available and I am noticing them in many local fish stores. My PetCo is now carrying them.

• Cost: At about $4 for a .42 Oz container, these flakes are more expensive than other quality flakes such as Ocean Nutrition and their non-availability at online retailers such as BigAlsOnle.Com and FosterandSmithAquatics.Com ensure you pay the standard retail price.
