Suitable for all life stages and sensitive stomachs, this premium fish food supports a thriving, vibrant aquarium environment.

## Description

Api tropical pellets contains good quality proteins including squid and shrimp for optimal growth, and perfects palatability with garlic. Api tropical pellets are designed specifically for tropical community fish such as angelfish, tetras, and barbs, and contain a unique, nutritionally enhanced protein to ensure easy uptake of nutrients for maximum absorption. Fish more readily use the nutrients in our good quality formula, and as a result, release up to 30% less ammonia than the leading competitor for cleaner, clearer water. Api tropical pellets may be used as an equally nutritious, alternative tropical food to api tropical flakes, depending on your fish's preference. As an example, larger fish may prefer pellets to flakes because of their density, compared with smaller fish that may more easily consume the light texture of flakes.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do the pellets stay intact or crumble once they sink?**
A: from what I've seen, they stay intact for a while, and I've they absorb a bunch of water after 10-20 minutes, they become softer for the fish (or even dwarf frogs) to eat. my catfish will even go at them while they're still solid

**Q: Can my snails eat this?**
A: I would suggest comparing the ingredients lists to get an accurate answer.   Years back I had some Assassin Snails in one of my small 30 gal aquariums and never supplied them with foods. They ate algae off the glass and rocks and other decor.  Since I only ise API Cichlid Pellets for all my aquariums (for over 12 years) it is possible that the snails might have eaten some but These are floating pellets - they float on water surface and fish come up to eat them.

**Q: Are these good for Tetra's as well?**
A: Yes, can you use these for tetras as well.

**Q: can you feed upside down catfish and gourami with this?**
A: It quickly falls to the bottom and and is eaten by any fish willing to bottom feed. I got it for my Koris.

Purchased due to brand name but my fish seem to prefer the previous brand of granular food so probably won't purchase again purely due to that vice anything specifically wrong with the product.
