Feed your tropical fish a protein-rich diet scientifically formulated to promote healthy growth and cleaner, clearer water with API TROPICAL FLAKES Optimal Protein Fish Food. 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 TROPICAL FLAKES Optimal Protein Fish Food is a complete and balanced diet ideal for all types of tropical fish including Tetras, Angelfish, Discus, Barbs and Guppies. API Fish Food contains nutritionally-enhanced protein for maximum digestion and produce up to 30% less ammonia. The more nutrients your fish digests, the less waste and ammonia are released, leaving cleaner, clearer water. Plus, they contain menhaden and squid for optimal growth and carotenoids to enhance color. Feed twice a day, and provide only as much as your fish will eat within three 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.

Definitely help keep your water clean
Started buying these a few months back for my two fish tanks. My fish seem to like them better and they’re supposed to be more beneficial and keep the tank cleaner. I wouldn’t know how they taste? Not sure why that’s one of the questions on the review thingy lol my fish have been enjoying them tho.

Fish food
Fish eat it just fine.

Trusted brand for all your fishy needs!
The value for money, if I could give it 6 stars I would! Depending on the size/amount of fish you have. This can last such a long time!Flavor – well the fish seem to love it hah!Scent – Can be a little on the stinky side if you’re not used to it at first but not the worst.

The only brand I purchase, and Amazon, the only place to find this size of container.
I have had a fish tank and have used a few different foods over the years. I like this brand as it seems to be digested well without a lot of ‘waste’. The only place I could find this brand, and size container, was Amazon, so I am very happy with this product and Amazon for carrying it and for the value for my money!

Huge Container
Great – just don’t make the same mistake I did. This is a gigantic container of fish food. Like as big as my head. I’m laughing at myself – it’ll feed my son’s fish for life!

Huge amount but great quality
I didn’t think I was ordering a year’s supply of fish food but at least it is top quality. Fish like it and it doesn’t cause cloudy water.

Great size and I don’t have to keep worrying about buying again for a while as this will last a long time and buying in bulk saves you time and money too

Bigger than I thought, I should of read before ordering lol. It’s good.
Dave Reid –
I was expecting a jar ¼ the size of what I got. It’s huge! Luckily my YouTube research tells me I can keep it in the freezer and just keep a couple weeks worth by the tank at room temperature. I like the fact it does not have a bunch of artificial colours and other artificial additives that other brands use. Still cycling new tank so cant tell you what fish think of it. Will update in a couple months.

Fish do very well, brings out their color and the price on amazon compared to the pet store is fantastic for the size of container.

This is really great fish food, and all my guppies love it, but I recently noticed that it has copper sulfate which is toxic for shrimp. If you have no invertebrates, then get this for your fish, but AVOID IF YOU HAVE SHRIMP!I would give this 5 stars, but there was nothing on the label to state that it is not safe for shrimp or contains coppers
