Its unique formula reduces ammonia waste by up to 30%, ensuring cleaner, clearer water and a healthier environment for your fish. ## 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. ## Features - Contains one (1) API TROPICAL PELLETS Sinking Pellets Fish Food 4.2-Ounce Container - Contains key nutrients for a complete and balance diet for all tropical community fish - Includes high-quality proteins, such as squid and shrimp, for optimal fish growth - Formulated to help fish more readily use nutrients which means less waste and clean, clear water - Feed twice a day to meet the requirements of tropical community fish ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Age Range Description | All Life Stages | | Allergen Information | Allergen-Free | | Animal Food Diet Type | Raw | | Animal Food Ingredient Claim | Humanely Raised | | Animal Food Nutrient Content Claim | High Protein | | Asin | B005XDCML4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #23,103 in Pet Supplies (See Top 100 in Pet Supplies) #326 in Aquarium Fish Food | | Brand Name | API | | Breed Recommendation | All Breed Sizes | | Container Type | Can | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (579) 4.5 out of 5 stars | | Dog Breed Size | Small | | Flavor | Shrimp | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00317163028230 | | Item Form | Pellet | | Item Type Name | API Pellets Tropical Fish Food, 4.2 OZ | | Item Weight | 0.17 Pounds | | Manufacturer | API | | Manufacturer Part Number | 823B | | Model Number | 823B | | Number Of Items | 1 | | Occasion | Birthday | | Pet Type | Fish | | Product Benefits | Reduces water pollution by up to 30% | | Recommended Uses For Product | Feeding tropical community fish | | Special Ingredients | Seafood | | Specific Uses For Product | Sensitive Stomach | | Target Species | Fish | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Upc | 317163028230 | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** All Life Stages - **Brand:** API - **Flavour:** Shrimp - **Item form:** Pellet - **Specific uses for product:** Sensitive Stomach ## Images ![Pellets Tropical Fish Food 4.2oz - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71e8SSJBBSL.jpg) ## 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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ the fish love it *by on Reviewed in Australia 21 January 2025* the fish love it ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality food *by on Reviewed in the United States 13 June 2024* Good quality food my tetras like it ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fish prefer previous granular food brand. *by on Reviewed in Australia 5 June 2024* 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. ## 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.ph/products/257006201-pellets-tropical-fish-food-4-2oz](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/257006201-pellets-tropical-fish-food-4-2oz) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-08-15*
