APEX Guppy is developed for top breeders chasing maximum growth and irresistible taste, helping fish reach peak condition! A daily staple for premium guppies and all kinds of livebearers.
The perfect natural formula for premium guppies, growth boosted by 1.2x with 30% less food!
100% of the protein comes from real fresh meat, vegetables and algae. Premium wild sword prawns, sardines, anchovies and insects make up 63% of the formula; diverse protein sources and a low-fat design help fish get far more out of every bite, boosting growth by 1.2x while using 30% less food. Guppies love the taste, making it an ideal daily staple for premium guppies and all kinds of livebearers.
02 / The making
Advanced micro-extruded food, shaped directly into tiny pellets.
A two-stage ultrafine milling process grinds oil-rich ingredients into a 100-mesh powder, and a custom extruder running at five times the usual pressure forms the food precisely through extremely small dies.
Every batch uses a fresh set of high-precision stainless steel dies, keeping pellet size consistent and the structure firm and appetizing. Fish eat and digest it more easily, it doesn't cloud the water, and its higher nutrient density helps fish reach peak growth.
03 / The making
Live B. subtilis probiotics: cut water pollution and odor by 50%
Live B. subtilis (BS) probiotics designed for fish quickly establish healthy gut flora, helping fish fully absorb the nutrients in their food. They effectively inhibit harmful and putrefactive bacteria and break down the ammonia and hydrogen sulfide in waste, reducing water odor and pollution by up to 50%. Give your fish a healthier home!
04 / Everyday nourishment
Mushroom polysaccharides × spirulina × rich vitamins: natural color, health and vitality, all boosted!
Packed with mushroom polysaccharides, spirulina, high-concentration stabilized vitamins (A, D3, C, E), a complete B-vitamin complex and minerals, this formula gives fish all-round nutritional support, bringing out their most natural, vivid colors without dull or off tones while maintaining healthy metabolism and immunity.

I started keeping fresh water aquariums when I was a kid, mostly community setups. Some of my favorite setups combine guppies and corydoras catfish. This granulated fish food caught my eye for its emphasis on natural ingredients and whole nutrition. So far it seems to be a pretty good product, although I've only had it for a short while, I think that I've got a clear sense of how it performs.The granules are pretty small and don't really dissolve in the water, which means less waste clouding the tank. The granules are in a variety of sizes, ranging from small enough for the fry, to large enough for the adults to notice it and enjoy. However, these granules will be too small for larger fish to really notice, so it's good that the product is directed at guppy owners. The ingredients list is pretty encouraging, and I do like the lower moisture content since this way I'm less likely to be paying for water. I found it interesting that they're mentioning 8% insect content, which I consider to be a real plus since guppies are top feeders that prey on small insects when they can. I appreciate the blend of fish, crustaceans, and insects (specifically silkworm pupae, I assume left over from silk production), which keeps things protein-rich. No odd smells or clumping in the jar either, which makes feeding straightforward during quick morning routines.Portion control is pretty easy, given the shaker bottle design, just pay attention to what you're doing. Fortunately, anything the guppies miss, the corydoras tend to find. Overall, this has been a reliable addition for targeted guppy care, especially if you're aiming for that vibrant, healthy school without complicating your feeding schedule. If your setup leans toward finicky eaters, it holds its own well.All that said, this is some pricey stuff, and even though this is really good food, it's definitely a premium product. This is an OK value for the price, you really seem to get what you pay for here.

I’m really impressed with this food. The pellets are soft enough that my guppies can eat them easily. With other food brands, they would take the food in, spit it out a few times, and then consume it. These float on the surface, which is perfect because it gives them plenty of time to grab the food before it sinks. They took to it immediately, so it must be tasty, and I’ve noticed they finish their meals quicker with very little waste left behind.I also love that this is a clean food with ingredients I can actually pronounce: sword prawns, sardines, anchovies, spirulina, garlic, seaweed, etc. Nothing artificial or questionable. I really appreciate that the brand shares information about the test and control groups used when developing this formula, which gives me more confidence in its quality.Another nice touch is the top dispenser. It gives you multiple options for how much food comes out, either through small holes or a pour spout. This way you can control feeding more precisely and avoid overfeeding.My guppies look healthier, more active, and their colors seem brighter. The food is also higher in protein which is great for growth. This is a solid, trustworthy brand I’ve used before and I approve of this new release!

I raise Endler’s Livebearers (_Poecilia wingei_), closely related to guppies, and have been feeding them another brand’s tropical fish “micro pellets.” When I saw this was specifically a growth formula and the price per ounce was slightly cheaper, I figured I would try it with my fish.The bottle has a pull ring to unseal the cap. Under the cap is a cover with various holes. Only one small hole was open upon lifting the cap; I suppose that is so you can punch out the additional holes as you’d like. I shook some out into my hand. It’s not really formed into pellets but into little granules/bits of assorted sizes, which is fine.The print on the label is too small for me to read, but with the help of my phone camera I compared the ingredients to the micro pellets I’ve been using. This product has higher percentages of protein and fat, good for growing young fish, along with lower moisture levels (so you’re not paying for water). The label also mentions the inclusion of mushroom components and various probiotics.I tried out the bits I had poured onto my hand in one of my tanks, and the young Endlers went for it immediately! So far, I am very happy with this food.

I’ve kept guppies for a while now, so I’m pretty picky about what I feed them. Most cheap foods are loaded with wheat and fillers, so I wanted something with real nutrition—and this stuff delivers. The ingredient list is packed with protein, probiotics and immune boosters like garlic and mushroom.The texture is more like tiny granules than pellets, which I actually prefer. The pieces come in different sizes—dusty bits the fry can nibble on and slightly larger crumbs that the adults go nuts for. The food floats for a bit and then slowly sinks, so surface and bottom feeders can both grab some, and anything the guppies miss, my cory's usually clean up.The best part? It doesn’t dissolve into mush or cloud the water, even when I feed a little heavier.The only “downside” is the granules are super tiny, so this isn’t for big fish. And yeah, the price is higher than typical flakes or pellets, but honestly, the quality matches the cost. My fish are more active, colors pop more, and growth has been great.Overall, this has become one of my go-to guppy foods. Premium price, but premium results—and my fish clearly approve.

This fish food, designed for guppies, has impressive ingredients. A lot of the cheaper fish foods on the market are high in "filler" ingredients, like wheat and soy, so it is worthwhile to pay a little more for a better product. Fish will live longer and generally be healthier by providing a high quality food. I love that this food has sardines listed as the first ingredient! This food is rich in protein and fats (including silkworm larvae and cod liver oil.) I also appreciate that it also contains garlic, mushroom polysaccharides, and probiotics (and added vitamins) which are very beneficial for immune support. I don't have guppies, but I am feeding this to my bettas, who need a high protein food, as they are carnivorous fish. The size of the pellets is quite small, and my bettas have no trouble eating them. They gobble them up quickly, so they must taste good! The pellets don't dissolve quickly, so any uneaten pellets could easily be sucked up with a turkey baster to prevent tank waste; however, I have not needed to do this because my fish eat all of them!

My fish go absolutely crazy for this food, but be careful about overfeeding because it does 10 to muck up the tank quite a bit, so I actually drop it in my feeder that goes down to the bottom and they all go right to it to eat if there’s a couple of them that say more top surface, I use my beta feeder Heidi hole so it stays within that realm of the tank. I made the mistake of just kind of sprinkle it on the top and my kids were helping and overfed the fish, but they absolutely love this food. All of them the second hits even my bottom feeders go crazy throughout the tank so a plus and I’m almost out and I will be ordering a new one here soon. Great quality great for the money. I feel like it is more of a top brand food. We’ve been through a lot of different foods for my fish and they won’t touch all almost all of them except for more of the one or two ingredient foods so I definitely this is a plus for me. It’s easy to use. It’s very small. I feel like it’s nutritious my fish or vibrant. It’s just good quality food.

I just started breeding guppies and have been trying to find a food that they do well with. This was a HUGE HIT with the breeding tank. Both adults and even tiny fry were enjoying this food. It's not pelleted, it's more like powdered and ground up crumbs. There are a lot of assorted sizes, and some dust, which makes it usable for fry to adult. I saw some week old fry enjoying the dustier bits, and my adult breeders were enjoying the larger crumbs.The ingredient list looks very protein heavy, which is great for growing fry and to help with fin development on longer finned varieties. No complaints there!The price is a bit higher than I would normally pay for this size of container, BUT, the higher protein and well balanced ingredients list makes up for it, in my opinion. Also, my fish seem to love it which is another big plus. I havent noticed any issues with water clarity, even when heavy feeding to keep fry growing, so that is another big bonus.

Ultra Fresh Apex Guppy Fish Food has been fantastic for my guppies! The pellets are the perfect size and easy for them to eat, and they don’t cloud the water like some other foods I’ve tried. I really appreciate that it’s made with natural ingredients and provides whole, balanced nutrition specifically formulated for growth. My fish are active, healthy, and clearly enjoy it—they rush to the surface as soon as it’s feeding time.I’ve also noticed improved coloration and overall vitality since switching to this food. The packaging is convenient and keeps the food fresh, and a little goes a long way. It’s reassuring to know I’m feeding my guppies a high-quality formula that supports their health and development. I highly recommend Ultra Fresh Apex Guppy Food to anyone looking for a premium, reliable option for their fish.

I have an aquarium that has several types of fish, including guppies, tetra’s, etc. I typically feed them finally ground flake food, and they have always been content with that, but it was not too crazy about the ingredients that were in that food. I read the ingredients in this food and gave it a shot and I have to tell you my guppies go crazy over it! I do hope it promotes growth because they are the tiniest critters in my tank and they’re beautifully colored so I would love if they would get a little bit bigger! They seem to enjoy it, and I loved that it doesn’t leave a lot of residue in the tank or make the water murky even after a week of solid feeding. I also have a Betta fish and a 10 gallon tank and I’m so impressed with this food that I’m going to go back and order their better food as well!

This fish food is great! My fish love to eat them. The food floats at first, then slowly sinks so all fish types are able to eat them. I've used this brand before and never had problems with my fish eating it. Because they're pellets, they don't break up like fish flakes which means less waste / mess in the aquarium. They're a high quality food, made with healthy ingredients, in a well-made container and at a great price.I highly recommend this food however the pellets are MUCH smaller than I anticipated. My fish eat them, and sometimes even my betta (in a separate tank) will eat them too, but they're way too small for anything larger than a guppy or platy. They would work well for smaller tropical fish, such as neon tetras but I wouldn't anticipate larger fish to be adequately fed on these.
