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.

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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fish seem happy and healthy *by J***L on March 4, 2026* All my bottom feeders love this stuff. I have about 7 different types of bottom feeders.
