Products Description
Aqua Plus® Snakehead Sticks are formulated around the natural feeding habits of large carnivorous fish such as snakeheads, arowanas, and flowerhorns. These fish feed on small aquatic animals and insect larvae in the wild, and their digestive systems process animal protein more efficiently than plant protein. The formula uses fish meal, shrimp meal and krill meal as primary protein sources, with crude protein content at a minimum of 45% and an amino acid profile covering the daily requirements of snakeheads.
Natural astaxanthin and carotenoids participate in pigment deposition through metabolism, requiring consistent feeding over time for visible results rather than short-term boosting. SnakeHead Fish Food keeps fat content within a moderate range to meet energy needs without adding metabolic strain.

Products Advantages
Carnivorous Fish Food uses a stick shape that is not chosen arbitrarily. Snakeheads respond more readily to elongated objects than to round pellets, and the sinking motion during feeding triggers a stronger hunting response. The slow-sinking property keeps the sticks intact as they pass through the water column, avoiding rapid breakdown on contact with the surface, allowing fish enough time to locate and take the food.
Prebiotics and probiotics support gut flora balance, and reduced digestive load means less undigested residue in waste, which lowers the indirect impact on water quality. High Protein Sinking Pellets show minimal batch-to-batch variation, with no transition period needed when switching between lots.

FAQ
Q: Is this food suitable for all fish species?
A: While optimized for carnivorous and omnivorous fish (e.g., snakeheads, arowanas, cichlids), it can also be fed to larger tropical community fish. Avoid using it for herbivorous species like goldfish or plecos.
Q: Will this food cloud my water?
A: No. The formula is low in dust and dissolves slowly, minimizing water pollution. However, always remove uneaten food after 5 minutes.
Q: Can I use this for fry (baby fish)?
A: For very small fry, we recommend crushing the sticks into a fine powder or using specialized fry food.
Q: How does this compare to live or frozen food?
A: While live food is beneficial, Snake Head Sticks provide complete nutrition without the risk of parasites. It's a convenient and safe alternative.
Q: Does this food enhance fish coloration?
A: Yes! The inclusion of astaxanthin and spirulina promotes vibrant reds, blues and yellows over time.
Q: How long does a 250g pack last?
A: For 5-10 medium-sized fish, a 250g pack lasts 4-6 weeks with regular feeding.
