Featuring premium squid and shrimp proteins, this 4.2-ounce container supports optimal growth and digestive health while minimizing waste to keep your aquarium water crystal clear. ## 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.

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 love this stuff *by K***E on February 24, 2026* Great value ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality food *by J***O on June 13, 2024* Good quality food my tetras like it ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ and just happen to like these floating pellets which are more packed than flakes *by J***N on May 22, 2018* I have two goldfish. They are 9 years and 3 years old. They are spoiled, and just happen to like these floating pellets which are more packed than flakes, but not so much as the large, sinking pellets. They are quite fat, but very happy and like these. This brand was sold at local stores, but alas, like most successful marketing strategies, they stopped selling it because people were buying it. Forcing us to go to Amazon. Then, the same people demonize Amazon for filling a market gap - selling stuff that people purchase, while creating an environment of competition (this is sold by a few different vendors). Although maybe an evil corporation also, Amazon does do a lot of good for consumers. ## Frequently Bought Together - API TROPICAL PELLETS Sinking Pellets Fish Food 4.2-Ounce Container, Medium (823B) - API TROPICAL FLAKES Fish Food 5.7-Ounce Container - API BOTTOM FEEDER PELLETS WITH SQUID Fish Food 4.0-Ounce Container --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/17419532-api-tropical-pellets-sinking-pellets-fish-food-4-2-ounce](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/17419532-api-tropical-pellets-sinking-pellets-fish-food-4-2-ounce) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
