## Overview

API Bottom Feeder Pellets with Squid is a 1.3-ounce container of sinking fish food formulated with premium protein sources including squid, mussel, and seaweed. Designed specifically for bottom-feeding fish, it promotes optimal growth and health while reducing ammonia production by up to 30%, resulting in cleaner, clearer aquarium water. Ideal for species like catfish, plecostomus, and loaches, this highly digestible formula supports digestive health and minimizes waste, making it a top-rated choice among aquarium enthusiasts.

## Description

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.

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My fish like it
*by B***H on January 26, 2026*

I've used these for years for my bristlenoses, cories, and cherry shrimp. They seem to like these sinking pellets well enough. Even the regular fish in the tank go after them. The 7.9 ounce container is a good size, so it lasts awhile. I'll buy again.
