Feed your bottom fish a delicious, nutrient-rich food that produces less ammonia for cleaner, clearer water with API BOTTOM FEEDER SHRIMP PELLETS Optimal Protein Sinking Pellets. 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.

Customers say
Customers report that their fish, including catfish, shrimp, and goldfish, love this food, and find it offers good value for money, with one noting the huge volume for the price. The pellets sink quickly to the bottom and work well in auto feeders, though opinions are mixed regarding water clarity, with some saying it doesn’t cloud the water while others report cloudy water. The size receives mixed feedback, with some finding it perfect for small fresh water community fish while others say it’s too small for goldfish. While many customers report their fish eat the pellets well, some mention their fish spit them out.

Great food for fish
My bottom feeders love this food, they go nuts for it. It sinks immediately so it’s easy for them to find. They’re thriving on it.

Our Corys and Loaches Go Crazy for These!
These are great pellets! They don’t generate any waste, which is nice considering most of the fish foods we’ve tried really dirty our tank. I can’t say how they taste, but based on the reaction of our fish when they see the bottle, they must be pretty dang tasty! Highly recommend for loaches, Cory catfish, and any hungry bottom feeder!

This is the same catfish food I buy at the pet store only way cheaper price.
I have two catfish in a tank. I have bought this same catfish food at PetSmart. This is a much bigger container. I bought two. It will most likely last over a year. This is a really good price. I will always buy from here. It was cheaper than buying at the pet store. Thank you so much.

Container doesn’t ship well
The fish food is good – the fish eat it, leaving almost none. Doesn’t cloud the water, and the bottom feeders are healthy.HOWEVER, the thin, flexible plastic container has no inner seal. So when Amazon tosses it into a box with other heavier items, and no padding of any kind, the lid pops off and the pellets are just loose in the box. Or scattered all over the kitchen floor, depending on how you opened the box.API: add an inner seal like Tetra uses, so this won’t happen even if the lid comes off in shipping.Amazon: I know you’re trying to reduce waste in shipping, but some items really need padding!

prima di recensire ho voluto testare l’appetibilità per i miei oranda. E davvero molto gradito e non sporca l’acqua, non ho riscontrato problemi di infiammazioni alla vescica natatoria. Risulta un mangime molto leggero ma ben bilanciato.

They do sink in my tank! They can hover for a bit, but I have found they do sink after a short period of time. I am okay with this as I am feeding a community tank, not just bottom feeders. I received a sealed full bottle of product as described.

Fish love it and doesnât make the water cloudy, sinks quickly so only pour in as much as fish can eat in 5 seconds, then give again
