Vitalis Catfish Pellets are designed for aquarium hobbyists who maintain substrate-feeding species such as Corydoras, Synodontis, and Botia. These pellets offer a nutritionally balanced diet that supports fish health through a soft, digestible texture; however, they require careful monitoring to ensure proper portions are fed to prevent substrate pollution.

While these are designed for substrate feeders, mid-water fish may consume them as they sink. It is best to supplement with a floating or slow-sinking food appropriate for mid-water species.
The soft texture is designed to be easily consumed. They will remain intact long enough to reach the bottom but will soften quickly once submerged.
Yes, Vitalis Catfish Pellets are formulated as a complete pet food that provides balanced nutrition for substrate feeders.
Many hobbyists find that clean-up crews like snails and shrimp benefit from the excess pellets, but ensure your primary catfish species are getting the bulk of the food.
Keep the lid tightly closed and store in a cool, dark environment to keep the food fresh and prevent the natural attractants from degrading.
Ensure the water temperature is within the optimal range for the species, and try feeding during low-light periods to match the nocturnal activity of some catfish.
You are likely overfeeding. Reduce the portion size and remove any uneaten pellets with a siphon after five minutes.
To ensure optimal results, feed small amounts twice daily rather than one large portion. This method limits the amount of food that settles into hard-to-reach areas of the substrate. The pellets are compatible with most freshwater tropical setups housing species like Bagrid, Botia, Brochis, Dianema, Dora, Synodontis, and Pimelodus. Keep the container sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the nutritional integrity and palatability of the ingredients.
