Description
Product Overview
API Bottom Feeder Pellets are specially formulated for bottom‑dwelling aquarium species such as goldfish, corydoras, loaches and other tropical fish that prefer to feed near the substrate. Each 1.3‑ounce container delivers a premium blend of squid, mussel and seaweed, providing a natural source of protein, essential amino acids, and trace minerals. The pellets are designed to sink quickly, mimicking the natural feeding behavior of bottom feeders and encouraging active foraging. The product dimensions of 1.81 x 1.81 x 3.5 inches make the container compact yet easy to handle, and the 2.45‑ounce net weight ensures a generous supply for small to medium‑size tanks.
Manufactured by Mars Fishcare, a trusted name in aquatic nutrition, these pellets are free from artificial colors and unnecessary fillers. The inclusion of high‑quality marine ingredients supports robust growth, vibrant coloration, and overall vitality. The formula also promotes efficient digestion, which reduces the production of toxic ammonia, leading to clearer water and a healthier environment for all tank inhabitants.
Usage
These pellets are ideal for both community and species‑specific tanks. Simply sprinkle the recommended amount into the substrate and allow the fish to discover the food at their own pace. Because bottom feeders tend to eat more slowly than mid‑water species, it is advisable to feed an amount that can be consumed within 30 minutes to prevent excess waste. The pellets dissolve slowly, releasing nutrients gradually, which helps maintain water quality and reduces the need for frequent water changes.
API Bottom Feeder Pellets are suitable for freshwater aquariums ranging from 10 to 100 gallons. They work well in planted tanks, as the natural seaweed component provides a subtle source of plant‑based nutrition that can complement live vegetation. For breeders, the high protein content supports egg production and fry development, making these pellets a versatile addition to any feeding regimen.
