API TROPICAL FLAKES is designed specifically for tropical community fish such as Angelfish, Tetras, and Barbs, and contains a unique, nutritionally-enhanced protein to ensure easy uptake of nutrients for maximum absorption. Fish more readily use the nutrients in our high-quality formula, and as a result, release up to 30% less ammonia than the leading competitor for cleaner, clearer water. API TROPICAL FLAKES may be used as an equally nutritious, alternative tropical food to API TROPICAL PELLETS, depending on your fishs preference. As an example, larger fish may prefer pellets to flakes because of their density, compared with smaller fish that may more easily consume the light texture of flakes. Ingredients All-Natural Directions Feed twice a day. Sprinkle a few flakes per fish, only as much as they can consume within three minutes.
