Food for Large Aquarium Fish in India

Looking for large fish food online that fits the mouth of an arowana, oscar or flowerhorn? This page lists the big fish food Supertails stocks right now, from Drools Finsters Arowana Fish Food and Drools Finsters Flower Horn Monster Hump to Tetra Cichlid XL Sticks, priced from ₹109, plus a plain guide to what to feed large aquarium fish, how much, and the tank basics that matter more as fish grow.

To be upfront, this page lists food and does not list live fish or tanks. If you want to buy large fish food online and avoid the usual mistakes, such as overfeeding and a tank the adult fish will outgrow, the guide below covers pellet size, portions and setup.

Large Fish Food at Supertails: Packs and Prices

Six food for big aquarium fish options are in stock today. Compare the price per gram, not the sticker price, because the packs range from 100 g to 320 g.

Arowana and Flowerhorn Food, 100 g Packs

Drools Finsters Arowana Fish Food is ₹495 for 100 g, about ₹4.95 per gram. Drools Finsters Flower Horn Monster Hump is ₹324 for 100 g, about ₹3.24 per gram. Both are named for the species they target, so check the pack for the ingredient list and feeding directions before you buy, and treat the name as a label, not a promise of growth or colour.

Cichlid, Oscar and Red Parrot Food

Tetra Cichlid XL Sticks are ₹1,150 for 320 g, about ₹3.59 per gram, the largest pack here. Drools Finsters Cichlid and Drools Finsters Red Parrot are ₹243 each for 100 g. If you keep an oscar fish, the cichlid options are the closest fit on this page. We do not sell a food made only for oscars today.

Floating Pellet Size for Bigger Mouths

Growel Rainbow Medium 5.5mm Floating Pellet is the largest pellet size we list: ₹109 for 100 g or ₹330 for 500 g. At 500 g the price works out to about ₹0.66 per gram, which makes it the lowest cost per gram on this page. Check the pack to see whether a 5.5 mm pellet suits the mouth of your fish.

How to Choose Food for Large Aquarium Fish

Big fish are not simply bigger versions of small fish. Their food has to suit their mouth, their feeding level and your tank.

Pellet and Stick Size for Big Mouths

Choose a food your fish can swallow comfortably and quickly. Sticks and larger pellets are made for bigger mouths, while fine crumble and small flakes are made for small fish. Our types of fish food guide compares formats such as flakes, pellets and sticks.

Floating or Sinking Food for Large Fish

Retail care guides pair sinking pellets with bottom feeders such as pleco and redtail catfish, while floating food and sticks suit fish that feed higher in the tank. Every food in the table above is a floating or stick format, so it will not suit a bottom feeder. We do not list a large sinking pellet today.

Reading the Label Before You Buy

Look for named ingredients, the guaranteed analysis and the feeding directions. Compare the same figures across brands, and treat them as label facts, not promises. Fishkeeper UK describes the silver arowana as a meaty-diet fish and says only some accept pellets, so a single dry food may not be the whole diet. Ask a fish-experienced vet if you are unsure.

How Much and How Often to Feed Large Fish

Large fish produce a lot of waste, so portion control is a tank-health decision, not just a food decision.

Overfeeding and Ammonia in a Big Tank

Texas A&M AgriLife Extension states that fish are the main source of ammonia, that uneaten feed adds more, and that feeding more means more ammonia. Seriously Fish notes that oscars are prone to overfeeding. Feed small portions, remove what is left, and test the water often, since higher stocking needs more frequent testing.

What If You Miss a Feeding

Do not make up for it with a bigger meal. Go back to the normal portion at the next feeding. We cannot give a safe number of days without food, because no source we found states one for large species, so if your fish look thin, weak or refuse food for longer than usual, ask a fish-experienced vet.

Safety Info and Tank Basics for Large Fish

Good food only works in a tank sized for the adult fish. These points come from published guidance.

Safety Info: Feeding, Storage and Warning Signs

Overfeeding fouls the water, so keep portions small and clear leftovers. Store the pack sealed, cool and dry, especially in monsoon humidity, and do not use food that smells off or looks damp. If your fish show swollen bellies, bloating, bulging eyes or stop eating, contact a fish-experienced vet. Do not add any medicine without advice.

Adult Size and Tank Size by Species

Plan for the adult, not the juvenile on sale. Seriously Fish lists an oscar at up to about 350 mm (14 in) and 10 to 20 years of life, with a base of at least 150 x 60 cm, about 540 litres, for one adult. Fishkeeper UK lists a silver arowana at up to 90 cm. Tank minimums vary a lot by source for flowerhorn, so check several.

Lids for Jumpers and Fast-Growing Fish

Fishkeeper UK calls the arowana an expert jumper and recommends a tight, weighted lid. It also warns that young redtail catfish and pacu can double in size in weeks, and that owners quickly outgrow their tanks. Ask yourself where the fish will live in a year before you buy.

Filter Capacity and Water Changes

Texas A&M says a new biofilter takes six to eight weeks to build up. PetSmart advises sizing the filter to the tank, using a dechlorinator, and changing water if ammonia or nitrite is above 0 ppm. Our fish care guide covers setup, and the filter collection below lists what we stock.

Large Fish Food FAQs

What is the best food for large aquarium fish?

The best food matches your species and fits its mouth. Sticks and larger pellets suit big fish, and Fishkeeper UK says only some arowana accept pellets. Supertails lists six large fish foods on this page, from ₹109. Check the pack, the label and the price per gram before you choose.

What do arowana eat?

Fishkeeper UK describes the silver arowana as eating anything it can swallow, on a meaty diet, with only some individuals accepting pellets. Supertails lists Drools Finsters Arowana Fish Food at ₹495 for 100 g. Check the pack directions, and ask a fish-experienced vet if your arowana refuses food.

How often should I feed my oscar fish?

We cannot give a single schedule, because the sources we found do not state one. Seriously Fish notes that oscars are prone to overfeeding, so start with small portions, remove leftovers and watch the water and the belly. Ask a fish-experienced vet to set a plan for your fish.

What is the price of big fish food in India?

Marketplace listings we checked ran from about ₹312 to ₹3,900 per pack, with very different pack sizes. On Supertails, the foods here run from ₹109 for 100 g of Growel Rainbow Medium 5.5mm to ₹1,150 for 320 g of Tetra Cichlid XL Sticks. Confirm the current price on each product page.

Can a flowerhorn live in a 2 feet tank?

Sources disagree on the minimum tank size for a flowerhorn, and one source gives both 30 and 70 gallons. A 2 feet tank is small for an adult, which grows to 12 to 16 inches, per one source. Plan for the adult size, use a lid and ask an experienced keeper before you buy.

Can an oscar live in a 2 feet tank?

Not as an adult. Seriously Fish lists an oscar at up to about 350 mm and recommends a base of at least 150 x 60 cm, about 540 litres, for one adult. A 2 feet tank is far smaller. Fish that outgrow their tank face health problems and shorter lives, per PetSmart.

Do large fish need a special filter?

They need a filter sized to the tank and to the amount of waste. PetSmart advises sizing the filter to the tank, and Texas A&M notes that a new biofilter takes six to eight weeks to establish. Big fish produce more waste, so test the water often. We list a small range of filters on the filters collection.

What if my large fish refuses food?

A short refusal can have many causes, including poor water or stress, and we cannot name a safe number of days without food. Test the water first, remove uneaten food and avoid doubling the next portion. If the fish looks thin, bloated or inactive, ask a fish-experienced vet.

Does Supertails deliver fish food to my city?

Delivery timelines depend on your pin code. Enter it on the product page and the estimate for your area appears there. We do not promise a specific delivery time on this page. Check the pack size and price on the product page before you order.

Does Supertails sell live arowana, oscar or tanks?

Not on this page today. The items listed here are six fish foods, and we would rather say that than promise a range we do not carry. For tank needs, see the filter and water care collections above, and check back as more large fish items are added.
