## Description

Feed your tropical community fish a protein-enriched diet that has been scientifically formulated to promote healthy growth and cleaner, clearer water with API TROPICAL PELLETS Sinking Pellets Fish Food. When fish are overfed or fed food with low palatability, the buildup of poorly-digested and unconsumed food in aquarium water can lead to increased waste and raised ammonia levels, which is toxic to fish. The increased toxins and stress can cause gill damage, illness and death. By feeding your tropical fish API TROPICAL PELLETS, you're giving them a complete, balanced diet that's ideal for them. Each pellet contains nutritionally-enhanced proteins to promote optimal digestion and produce overall less ammonia. This fish food is ideal for tropical community fish including Angelfish, Tetras, Barbs and Discus. 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.

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Goldfish responded well to these sinking pellets
*by T***N on December 4, 2025*

Needed to isolate one goldfish in a separate container inside a larger one. The floating pellets he was used to would float out of his container into the larger tub. Switched his diet up to these sinking pellets and all is well. He looked a lot better within days of the change.
