Product description
About Omega One
In 1998 in Sitka, Alaska, two brothers invented and patented the process of making fish foods directly from wild-caught, fresh Alaskan seafood. Omega One LLC, the company, was founded, and Omega One, the brand, was introduced. This revolutionary concept broke the mold in a 40-year industry, providing hobbyists with a brand of unsurpassed quality and nutrition. Unlike other fish foods on the market, you will see that there is no fishmeal in our foods. Instead, we use Alaskan seafood such as salmon, herring, and shrimp for our protein sources. These ingredients, rich in natural fats and proteins, are purchased direct from sustainable Alaskan fisheries.
From the Sea to the Shelf
THE INGREDIENTS MATTER
Omega One increases fish immunity. It is made directly from superfoods like salmon and herring, which are loaded with Omega 3 & 6 fatty acids. These essential fatty acids provide energy and strengthen the delicate fish immune system, leading to decreased rates of disease and mortality.
MEAL-FREE NUTRITION
Omega One fish foods are meal-free and made from the freshest cold-water proteins. When you start with raw, unprocessed proteins like we do and cook them just once, they naturally bind together creating an impenetrable bond, leaving your aquarium cleaner.
NATURAL COLOR ENHANCEMENT
Our ingredients contain a high level of naturally occurring pigments called beta-carotenes. With nearly a 100% transfer rate to the skin of ornamental fish, these beta-carotenes will restore the true colors of your fish, making them as vibrant as they are healthy.
Freshwater Flakes
Delicious recipe of fresh, cold water seafood blended specifically to enhance the levels of Omega 6 fatty acids. Omega 6 fatty acids are extremely valuable to freshwater species for strong immune systems and cell wall development. Low ash and higher quality proteins mean less pollution in the tank.
Super Color Cichlid Pellets – Floating
Small, medium, and large pellets for all types and sizes of cichlids. Offer superb color enhancement, with unsurpassed nutrition and palatability.
Garlic Marine Flakes
A nutritious mix of seafood ingredients is combined with the optimal amount of spirulina to make this an excellent diet for the community saltwater tank. A strong Omega 3 Fatty Acid profile supports the delicate immune systems of saltwater fish while garlic provides incredible palatability and parasite resistance.
Goldfish Flakes
Omega One Goldfish Flakes are formulated with higher levels of quality proteins and fats than other goldfish foods. This recipe contains a strong Omega Fatty Acid profile, which has been shown to be beneficial for growth and long-term health. Fresh ocean kelp provides critical nutrients and aids in digestion.

Customers say
Customers find this fish food highly nutritious and consider it good value for money, with one customer noting it’s the most cost-effective way to feed a balanced diet. The size receives mixed feedback – while some find it perfect for small fish, others say it’s too large for their needs. The sink rate and water quality also get mixed reviews, with some saying it sinks straight to the bottom while others report it doesn’t settle properly, and some customers mention their fish won’t eat it.

My goldfish loves this food and it’s a perfect size for small fish
My goldfish is small and can’t eat larger food. I wanted something I could feed him which would fall to the bottom fairly quickly but which he could see and ‘catch’ on its way. Sometimes I take a very tiny amount and toss it down at the water and it sinks right away. It’s a very small size of pellet and my fish has no problems eating it. He seems to like it the taste of it. And this quantity ought to last quite a while as long as it’s kept sealed and out of heat, so it’s a great value too.

These are 1mm pellets also, not 0.5mm as shown in the picture
I bough these garlic pellets thinking that perhaps the 0.5mm picture matches as opposed to in the “color” pellets from other listing, but no such luck. That aside, these are still great pellets to feed an aquarium fish with as they do not float at the top or float in the water a murk. Fish has to get used to eat these hard candy, but once they do, it is great. Note that you need some bottom dwellers or at least some other fish capable to eat from the floor as these sink to the bottom and not all of it gets intercepted on the way down.

Fish food
The label says SLOW SINKING but it sinks pretty fast, or at least the stuff I bought sinks fast. My Tetras seem to like it though. I cannot comment on taste however as I haven’t eaten any of it yet. Yes, review asks me to comment on taste and quality but I really have NO CLUE on either. I will continue to buy it in today’s terrible inflated “economy”. John

Color returns after 2 years
Our goldfish lost all of its color over the last 2 years to the point where it had become pure white. We switched to this food and after a couple weeks we started to notice hints of color change in its face. Now I’ll be buying another container soon, but you can clearly tell in its fins, tail, and face that color is really starting to come back.

It’s for the fishes
This is a lot of food and will last my guppies quite a while. Maybe go with a smaller bottle of food if you don’t have that many fish. I usually drop 1/4 spoon full daily. Not sure how long they’ll float, as my little fish friends devour them up within minutes. I like that half of them sink right away, as it gives some of the bottom feeders as a chance to nab some food from the greedy guppies. The pellets have not clouded the water. I prefer this over flakes, If I go on vacation, my auto-feeder works perfectly with pellets. My guppies were quite colorful to begin with, so not sure if this enhances the color or not, but their color has not faded on this food. I will definitely buy again, but probably not this year, as my fish don’t eat that much.Edit: The majority of the pellets sink to the bottom almost immediately. I would not have an expectation that this product will float.

HIGH QUALITY
I recently purchased some neon tetras from the local fish store, but was unable to get them to eat any of the other foods that I had on hand. After doing a little research, I stumbled upon this gem. It is the only thing that my neon tetras will actually eat! Look at the ingredients list, no meal or fillers or bs. This is a VERY high quality fish food!

Flake vs pelletâ¦my decision
I have cardinal tetras, Ruby tetras, ember tetras, dwarf rainbows, chili rasboras, pencilfish, corys, otos, a loach, cardinia shrimp and a goby. First impressions the fish really get into a feeding frenzy when this pellet hits the water, but they sink fast, slow sinking should really not be on the label. In my 24â high aquarium they can reach the bottom in second. Maybe 1.5. That being said, if you enjoy watching your fish feed, by the time you open the lid, put in your pinch of pellets, close the lid and sit down, itâs almost all over because the pellets sink so fast the fish dart all over trying to get them, unlike a flake food that floats then slowly sinks or moves about in the water column.My fish in particular, have small mouths and small stomachs, so some of them can eat an entire pellet, but because of the fast nature of this food they end up eating multiple pellets very fast and you can see their stomachs bulging with pellets. Unlike flake that is soft and sometimes they need to work or nibble at and stays floating around longer, this seems to make the fish not dart around and try to eat so fast. Also with flake you can crush to accommodate small fish, crushing these pellets is not easy to do in your hand.The fish with the small mouths, chiliâs, pencilfish, Ruby tetras can not eat an entire pellet, instead they hold one in their mouths and nibble on it, dropping it then going after it again. More aggressive fish will take it from them or get it when it drops, so those small fish donât eat as much. You end up putting more in to try and get some food to them.Yes this food clouds the water. When I first read that while doing my research I thought that couldnât be but it does. Clouds water is not the best term, the food breaks down into really small particles and fills the water column. The particles are small enough that the fish donât eat them, some might be for a while but they dissolve into dust that I assume goes into your filter or settles into substrate. I am sure the reason for this is because of the high quality ingredients, opposed to filler foods that bind it all together. I feel like some of this food is lost due to that.I decided to try their color enhancing flake food as an alternative to using the pellet everyday. My fish donât seem to take to their flake line too much. They do eat it, but also spit some out or ignore it which was a surprise since they really whip into a frenzy for the pellets and always eat every pellet.I have lost one oto recently but I donât know the cause of death.My conclusion is that this food line is not for me and my particular set up. I think it is a highly nutritious food that is probably of high quality. If I had a fish store or breeding operation, I think this would be a good everyday food to feed and walk away food for larger fish. For my small fish flake food seems to be the best choice: everyone can get fed. I crush some so itâs very small and leave some as large flakes. That way the surface feeders like rasboras can get fed without competing with larger fish towards the bottom of the tank. The small bits that make it to the substrate the corys, loach and shrimp and get a chance to clean up. The shy Ruby tetras that like to stay to the bottom can work on the small bits as well. The large flakes I can dunk under the surface so they start truly âslow sinkingâ for the cardinals, embers, and pencil fish to eat. The flakes sink and drift slowly, therefore the fish move slowly as well which makes for a pleasant and longer viewing experience. For this reason the versatile nature of flake is my choice.

My betta likes them. They float for some time, then sink down fast and he chases them.

My fish, shrimp and snails all seem to like it quite a bit. The top/mid feeders hardly let any of it sink to the bottom of the tank (once it gets water logged enough to sink that is).If I gently place/sprinkle the food close to the water’s surface, the pellets will float for about a minute or so before sinking. If I toss it at the water, the pellets tend to sink almost immediately, which means I can custom tailor the type of feeding I want to do for the various fish in my tank (ie, top/mid/bottom feeders). This makes it easy to gently place the pellets on the water at end of the tank to have it float for a bit, while tossing it at the water on the other end to have it sink quickly, thus allowing everyone in the tank the time needed to get to the pellets without one type of fish species hogging it all.While these Omega One Colour “mini” pellets are rather small, and many smaller fish (like white cloud mountain minnows, neon tetras, chili rasboras and and CPD’s) can eat them, these pellets are still a tiny bit bigger than the Hikari Tropical Semi-Floating Micro Pellets (which I also use, and are easier to eat for the fish mentioned).For those of you wondering about the overall size of these pellets when compared to other types available on Amazon, I have attached a picture showing (from left to right), the Hikari Tropical Micro pellets (which are more expensive, but my fish go crazy for it, probably due to it’s smaller pellet size), Omega One Color Mini (the one this review is about), OmegaSea Veggie Mini (but Amazon has it listed as “micro” for some reason), and regular freeze dried blood worms (which I feed once in a blue moon along with a bit of zucchini for the snails and shrimp, as well as some regular tropical flake food for everyone else). This variety of food makes is so nothing in the tank gets bored of feeding on the same thing all the time.Btw, if this review was helpful at all, please take a moment to mark is as “Helpful” so others can see it. Thanks.
