We have RES turtles, and they LOVE these!!!
I want to give 5 stars, I really do. The boys even know the sound this bottle makes when you pick it up and the plankton rattle against the sides. They come zooming across their tanks, frantically jumping up and down, waving their arms, begging like you wouldn't believe a turtle can!
I had to remove 1 star because the plankton lose their color and become virtually invisible after a minute or two. They're wasted when this happens because the turtles can't find them. They end up clogging the filter or stuck on the bottom, creating a slightly fishy smell in the tank until the water is changed. That's quite a hassle!!
Another issue is that the quantity is NOT as advertized. I'd only fed 1/3 of the plankton to the boys when I reached the powder. I don't know if the plankton itself is so delicate it disintegrated into powder due to rough handling or if the powdered plankton was included intentionally, but it can't be used. All it would do is ruin the tanks if I put it in the water; the boys can't possibly chase down and eat each grain. Since 2/3 of this was garbage, 2 more stars were lost.
