This guide is for owners of tropical and coldwater bottom-feeding fish, particularly catfish. The key benefit is providing a nutrient-rich, sinking food that mimics natural foraging behavior, leading to improved health. A key caveat is that due to its richness, it should not be overfed, and uneaten food must be removed within 24 hours to maintain water quality. These pellets are specifically designed to sink rapidly, ensuring that fish feeding at the bottom receive their share of a balanced diet rich in protein.

No, these sinking pellets are specifically formulated for bottom-feeding fish like catfish. While other fish might nibble them, they are best suited for species that forage at the substrate level.
Feed only as much as your fish can consume in about 5 minutes. For these rich pellets, it is crucial not to overfeed. Remove any uneaten food within 24 hours.
Yes, these pellets are suitable for both tropical and coldwater bottom-feeding fish.
Uneaten food should be removed within 24 hours. Due to the high protein content, uneaten food can quickly degrade and negatively impact water quality.
These pellets contain over 50% protein, making them a very rich food source.
Store the food in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the container is tightly sealed to maintain freshness.
Ensure the pellets are sinking to the bottom where your fish typically feed. Try introducing a smaller amount or moistening the pellets slightly for hesitant eaters. Verify the fish species are indeed bottom feeders that consume this type of food.
This can be a sign of overfeeding or uneaten food decomposing. Remove any remaining food after 24 hours and perform a partial water change. Adjust the feeding amount to a level your fish can consume completely.
This is unlikely with this specific sinking formula, but if observed, it may indicate the pellets are old or have been exposed to moisture. Discard and use a fresh container. Ensure you are not adding too much to the water surface at once.
Setup: No specific setup is required for the food itself. Ensure your aquarium is established and suitable for the fish species you are keeping.
Compatibility: Suitable for all tropical and coldwater bottom-feeding fish, including various species of catfish, loaches, and plecos. It is recommended to check individual fish species' dietary needs before introducing any new food.
Care: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the container tightly sealed to maintain freshness. As this is a rich food, do not overfeed. Remove any uneaten food from the aquarium within 24 hours to maintain water quality.
