API Pellets Cichlid Fish Food 2.5 oz

Premium Nutrition for Your Most Vibrant Fish

Cichlids are known for their intelligence, personality, and stunning colors—but to maintain that energy, they need a specialized diet. API Cichlid Pellets are formulated to provide a complete and balanced diet that meets the high-protein requirements of both African and South American Cichlids.

The Science of a Healthier Cichlid:

• Muscle & Growth Support: Contains high-quality proteins from squid and menhaden, providing the essential amino acids needed for sturdy body development and impressive finnage.

• Intense Color Enhancement: Enriched with Spirulina and Alfalfa, natural sources of carotenoids that make blues deeper and oranges more vivid.

• 30% Less Ammonia: Like all API premium foods, these pellets are designed for maximum digestibility. More nutrients are absorbed by the fish, meaning less waste is excreted into the water—keeping your high-bioload Cichlid tank cleaner.

• Sinking Pellet Design: Naturally mimics the way Cichlids feed in the wild by sinking to the mid-water and bottom zones, ensuring even the most submissive fish have a chance to eat.

• Immune System Boost: Formulated with garlic and vitamins to help your fish resist stress and maintain a strong natural defense against disease.

Why the 2.5 oz Size?

This compact 2.5 oz container is perfect for hobbyists with a few select specimens or those looking to test a new, high-quality staple diet. It ensures the food stays fresh and the essential oils don't oxidize before the bottle is finished.

Feeding Instructions:

• Feed twice a day.

• Only provide the amount of food your fish can consume within 3 minutes.

• Pro-Tip: For larger Cichlids, spread the pellets across the surface of the water to prevent the "dominant" fish from hoarding all the food in one spot.
