Feed your herbivorous tropical fish a protein-rich diet scientifically formulated to promote healthy growth and cleaner, clearer water with API Optimal Protein Tropical Greens Flakes for Algae & Plant Eating Fish Food. This complete and balanced diet is ideal for herbivorous fish including Swordtails, Mollies, Guppies and Cichlids. It contains nutritionally-enhanced protein for maximum digestion and produces up to 30% less ammonia. The more nutrients your fish digests, the less waste and ammonia are released, leaving cleaner, clearer water. Plus, it's made with multiple algae species, beet pulp, special plant blend for healthy growth and carotenoids to enhance color. Feed twice a day, and provide only as much as your fish will eat within three minutes.

API TROPICAL GREENS FLAKES are primarily for tropical herbivorous fish. Tetras are omnivorous, and may require more animal-based sources of food. API TROPICAL GREENS FLAKES contain more protein, and are designed for tropical fish like tetras.
Mollies are herbivores, and can be fed on a diet of vegetable-based flakes and algae.

My mbuna love this food and it is perfect for their diet needs
Chewy is the only place I have been able to get this food. I have a wide variety of aquatic life. Tetra, platy, guppies, bards, mollies, nerite snails, and even some African dwarf frogs. All at different stages of life. I feed a wide variety of foods to meet everyone’s needs. I always keep froze bloodworms, frozen brine shrimp, and API tropical greens on hand. Those are my staple foods. Everyone loves this API tropical greens! It’s a hit! I love how much healthier and happier my fish started to look after I began using this food. API products really are wonderful.
My MBuna love this food. It doesn't seem to cloud the water and my cichlids beg for it.
So disappointed in this fish food and I was looking for a vegetable blend for my platys. Well my fish do not like it and I've tried every which way to get them to eat it.
My Scat seems to like this food. He gets excited every time I walk by the tank. It seems like he has more energy since I started him on this too.
My fish seem to like these flakes alot and the size is a great value.
Wonderful product for the Mollies digestive track
