Clawed frogs both adults and babies really like reptomin and they seem to grow really fast on it. They are just small enough for baby clawed frogs…they shovel them in. The food also softens when it’s in the water a short amount of time so if they have trouble let it soak in there for awhile and they will get it down usually…the food will break down. They also like the baby shrimp and the krill. Krill is harder to find to buy and this is a small size krill which is good for baby frogs. Even the tinest of aquatic frogs don’t seem have an issue with this small sized krill. Some might find it messy for their tank but it floats and the frogs eat it fast.Some aquatic frogs are very shy when you first get them and only want to eat from the bottom. All of this food does float which I find is far easier for frogs to eat. Too much food get missed when it falls in the bottom of the tank and gets stuck in the rocks. Eventually they will figure out that the top of the tank is where the food is. You can hand feed them to kind of train them to look up for food for awhile so they get used to the floating food. They breathe air anyway so they eventually must come to the top. Eventually as the frogs start growing you may want to move them to adult sized reptomin because they can get really big and they like their food. One canister of these doesn’t last too long with an adult tribe of African dwarf frogs!Tiny African dwarf frogs likely will like them too…the reptomin pellets get softer as they sit in the water so that they should be able to eat them after a little while. African dwarf frogs also like shrimp and the krill especially would be easy for them to grab and eat.Also my Blood Parrot cichlid really likes reptomin. And she has had good growth rate on it too. The fish doesn’t like the shrimp included here or the krill but this fish likes reptomin and cubes of brine shrimp only. She refuses all other food. The mouth on this fish doesn’t close and she kinda of sucks food in to chew with her back teeth. So she has a hard time eating a lot of foods plus I think she is picky about the taste of other foods in general. Reptomin is just the right size for her to get into her mouth. She really likes these and will wait and wait for them and get excited. I hand feed her the pellets so to make sure she gets them in her mouth but she can jump up and can catch them from the top also with some success. She can even eat the larger reptomin because although they’re longer they are still skinny enough to fit in her mouth. She is a picky fish and will pass up many things but reptomin is her fav and she has been steadily growing on it. My freshwater angel fish do not like it whatsoever though and will only ignore it. They like all kinds of food but not reptomin so they are the opposite of the blood parrot in their tastes.One good thing too about this food is that it doesn’t seem to get stuck in my filters as much as some other competitors food. I had gotten another competitors food some time ago and the frogs and blood parrot didn’t like it as well and it was too thin and kept getting stuck in the filters even when on low. This food seems to be the right consistency and size so it doesn’t do that. Plus it doesn’t last too long it gets gobbled up fast!If this review helped you in any way or if you enjoyed reading it please click the like/helpful button. Thank you!
