Overfeeding, low palatability and low quality lead to unconsumed or poorly digested food which causes waste and raises ammonia levels. High levels of ammonia are toxic to fish and can cause gill damage, stress, illness and death. API Fish Food produces up to 30% less ammonia than leading competitor foods because they are made with highly palatable shrimp and nutritionally enhanced protein for maximum digestion. The more nutrients your fish digests, the less waste and ammonia. It is a complete and balanced diet for all bottom-feeding fish including Catfish, Plecostomus and Loaches. Feed twice a day, and provide only as much as your fish will consume within 30 minutes. API Fish Food is formulated for a variety of popular fish such as cichlids, goldfish, tetra, betta, angelfish and more with high quality ingredients fish love such as algae, shrimp, worms and more. Keep your fish healthy, happy and colorful with food that contains optimal levels of nutrients as well as helps produce less waste, toxins and stress.

They seem to like these sinking pellets well enough. Even the regular fish in the tank go after them. The 7.9 ounce container is a good size, so it lasts awhile. I'll buy again. Review: Exactly as advertised - Just what my little Cory catfish needed they look so happy and healthy wouldn’t hurt to let them soak for a minute before throwing in so they can eat them easier. Just drop them in and the sink within seconds. ## Features - Contains one (1) API BOTTOM FEEDER PELLETS WITH SQUID Fish Food 1.3-Ounce Container - Includes optimal protein sources to support healthy fish and ideal growth - Contains SQUID pellet, mussel, and seaweed for improved nutrition and great taste - Formulated for easy digestion, leading to less toxic ammonia and cleaner, clearer water - Feed as much as fish can consume in 30 minutes as bottom feeders have slower feeding habits ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005XDCNBI | | Additional Features | Designed for bottom-feeding fish, unique ingredient blend for improved nutrition, easy digestion for cleaner water | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Allergen Information | Apple Free | | Animal Food Diet Type | Veterinary Diet | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,527 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #24 in Aquarium Fish Food | | Brand | API | | Brand Name | API | | Breed Recommendation | All Breed Sizes | | Container Type | Bottle | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 3,814 Reviews | | Dog Breed Size | Large | | Flavor | Squid | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00317163018415 | | Item Form | Pellet | | Item Type Name | Bottom Feeder Fish Food | | Item Weight | 1.05 ounces | | Manufacturer | Mars Fishcare | | Manufacturer Part Number | 841A | | Model Number | 841A | | Number of Items | 1 | | Occasion | Birthday | | Package Size Name | Pack of 1 | | Pet Type | Fish | | Product Benefits | Enhances fish health and water quality | | Recommended Uses For Product | Feeding bottom-feeding aquarium fish, Maintaining aquarium water quality | | Special Ingredients | SQUID, Mussel, Seaweed | | Specific Uses For Product | Digestive Health | | Target Species | Shrimp | | UPC | 317163018415 | | Unit Count | 1.3 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** API - **Flavor:** Squid - **Item Form:** Pellet - **Specific Uses For Product:** Digestive Health ## Images ![API BOTTOM FEEDER PELLETS WITH SQUID Fish Food 1.3-Ounce Container - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71sKzDxFv0L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## 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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My fish like it *by B***H on January 26, 2026* I've used these for years for my bristlenoses, cories, and cherry shrimp.
