FAQs
How often should I feed my catfish?
Most adult catfish thrive when fed once or twice daily. Only provide an amount they can finish within three minutes.
Can I use this for non-catfish species?
While intended for catfish, the high protein content is suitable for many other bottom-dwelling tropical fish, but check your specific species' dietary requirements first.
Do the pellets break down too quickly?
No, they are designed to be quick-sinking and maintain their structure long enough for catfish to locate and consume them.
Does this food contain color enhancers?
This formula focuses on essential nutrients, protein, and vitamins to support general health and vigor rather than specific color-enhancing chemicals.
How long does the 60g pack last?
Usage depends on your tank size and population. For a standard community tank, a 60g pack is a convenient size that ensures the product stays fresh before it is fully consumed.
Troubleshooting
Fish are ignoring the pellets
Check the age of the food and ensure it has been stored in a cool, dry place. Try offering the food during the night for nocturnal species.
Water appears cloudy after feeding
This is typically a sign of overfeeding. Reduce the amount of pellets offered in the next feeding session.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To store your NT Labs Pro-F Catfish Pellets correctly, keep the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the vitamins. Always ensure the lid is tightly sealed after each feeding session to prevent moisture ingress. These pellets are compatible with all tropical freshwater tanks housing bottom-feeding species. When introducing the food to a new tank, monitor your water parameters, particularly nitrate and ammonia levels, during the first week to ensure your filtration system is handling the waste effectively.
