Small Fish Food at Supertails: Packs and Prices

Tunai Tropical 1.2mm and Shipp's 3in1 Pellets
Tunai Tropical 1.2mm is a floating pellet listed for small to medium fish with small mouths, with 26% protein. The 450 g pack is ₹245, about ₹0.54 per gram. Tunai Shipp's 3in1 is a floating pellet of about 1 mm, with 45% protein and 31% spirulina on the listing. It comes in one pack here, 250 g at ₹226, about ₹0.90 per gram.
Drools Finsters Tropical 1mm and Tetra TetraMin
Drools Finsters Tropical 1mm is the lowest-priced option: ₹45 for 50 g, or ₹234 for 500 g at about ₹0.47 per gram. The listing gives a minimum of 24% crude protein and 2% fat. Tetra TetraMin is the premium pick at ₹375 for 45 g, about ₹8.33 per gram, and its listing says it is a complete food for all tropical fish.
Growel Rainbow Small 3.5mm for Bigger Mouths
Growel Rainbow Small 3.5mm is the largest pellet in this set: ₹109 for 100 g or ₹330 for 500 g. Its listing mentions goldfish and cichlids as well as other fish, so check that a 3.5 mm pellet suits the mouth of your fish before you buy. For tiny fish, choose the 1 mm or 1.2 mm pellets above.
Small Fish Food by Pellet Size and Feeding Zone
Size and feeding zone decide whether your fish can eat the food at all, so check both before you check the brand.
Micro Pellets and 1 mm to 1.2 mm Floating Pellets
The smallest pellets here are Drools Finsters Tropical 1mm, Tunai Shipp's 3in1 at about 1 mm, and Tunai Tropical 1.2mm. These suit small mouths better than the 3.5 mm Growel pellet. Fish that eat from the surface take floating pellets easily, and you can watch how much is eaten.
Flakes, Pellets or Granules for Community Fish
Charterhouse Aquatics calls flakes one of the most popular choices for community aquariums, says pellets come floating or sinking, and describes granules as slow-sinking and accepted by most species. Our types of fish food guide compares the formats in more detail.
Sinking Food for Corydoras and Bottom Feeders
Charterhouse Aquatics says surface feeders such as livebearers take floating food, mid-water fish such as tetras and rasboras feed through the water column, and bottom feeders such as corydoras and loaches need sinking food. Aquarium Co-Op adds that corydoras can lose out at feeding time. We do not list a sinking food in this collection today.
Tropical Fish Food by Budget
Supertails prices here run from ₹45 to ₹375, so there is an option for most budgets. Always compare the pack size too.
Tropical Fish Food Under ₹100
Drools Finsters Tropical 1mm at ₹45 for 50 g and Tunai Tropical 1.2mm at ₹88 for 100 g are the entry options. They suit a small tank where a large pack would go stale before you finish it.
Best Fish Food for Small Fish From ₹100 to ₹250
This is the value range for most community tanks: Growel Rainbow Small 3.5mm at ₹109 for 100 g, Drools Finsters Tropical 1mm at ₹122 for 200 g, Tunai Shipp's 3in1 at ₹226 for 250 g, Drools Finsters Tropical 1mm at ₹234 for 500 g and Tunai Tropical 1.2mm at ₹245 for 450 g.
Premium Pick: TetraMin at ₹375
Tetra TetraMin costs more per gram than every other food here. Its listing names 40 or more ingredients and prebiotics. Check the pack for the exact format, because the listing title says granules while its description mentions flakes.
How Much, How Often and Safety Info for Small Fish
Small fish need small meals. Feeding less is safer than feeding more.
How Often Should You Feed Community Fish
LiveAquaria says most fish do well fed twice a day, and Pet Circle suggests small meals once or twice a day. Both suggest feeding only what fish finish in a few minutes, around 3 to 5 minutes, and removing the rest. Do not copy the feeding counts on every pack. Our aquarium fish feeding guide covers the basics.
What If You Miss a Feeding
Do not make up for it with extra food. Aquarium Co-Op says healthy adult fish can go a week or more, depending on the species, but not baby fish or fish recovering from illness. Chewy quotes a vet saying most adult fish manage about a week. Go back to the normal portion at the next feeding, and ask a fish-experienced vet if a fish looks thin or weak.
Safety Info: Overfeeding, Storage and Warning Signs
LiveAquaria warns that uneaten food breaks down into ammonia and nitrites, which are toxic to fish, and can cloud the water and clog filters. Keep portions small and remove leftovers. Store the pack sealed, cool and dry, especially in monsoon humidity, and follow the best-before date on the pack. Our fish care guide covers setup. Do not add medicine without advice.

Small Fish Food FAQs
Which food is best for small fish?
Small floating pellets or fine flakes that fit the mouth are the usual choice for community tanks, according to retailer guides. Check the pellet size and the label. Supertails lists five small fish foods on this page, from ₹45, including Drools Finsters Tropical 1mm and Tunai Tropical 1.2mm.
What are micro pellets for fish?
Micro pellets are very small pellets made for tiny mouths, usually well under 1 mm. The smallest pellet on this page is Drools Finsters Tropical 1mm, with Tunai Shipp's 3in1 at about 1 mm. Check the pack for pellet size, and ask before you buy if your fish are very small.
Best tropical fish food in India under ₹250?
Several options on this page cost under ₹250: Tunai Tropical 1.2mm at ₹88 for 100 g, Drools Finsters Tropical 1mm at ₹122 for 200 g, Tunai Shipp's 3in1 at ₹226 for 250 g and Growel Rainbow Small 3.5mm at ₹109 for 100 g. Compare pack sizes and the price per gram.
Small fish food for aquarium: flakes or pellets?
Both work for community fish. Charterhouse Aquatics calls flakes a popular community choice and says pellets come floating or sinking. Floating pellets are easy to measure and remove. Every food on this page is a pellet or a granule, so check the TetraMin pack for its exact format.
How often should I feed my community fish, and can I overfeed?
Yes, you can overfeed. LiveAquaria and Pet Circle suggest once or twice a day, only what fish finish in a few minutes, with leftovers removed. Uneaten food turns into ammonia and nitrites, which are toxic. Start with less, watch the water, and add food only if your fish stay active.
Can fish go 4 days without food while I travel?
Healthy adult fish usually manage a few days. Aquarium Co-Op says a week or more depending on the species, and Chewy quotes a vet saying about a week for most adults. Baby fish and sick fish need regular feeding. Do not leave a large meal behind, because it fouls the water.
How do I store fish food in monsoon?
Keep the pack sealed, cool and dry, and close it tightly after every use, because humidity can spoil dry food. Follow the best-before date on the pack. Throw away food that smells sour, looks damp or is clumped. We could not verify a safe number of months after opening.
Is Indian fish food as good as imported brands?
Judge by the label, not the country. Compare protein, ingredients and pellet size. On this page, Tunai Tropical lists 26% protein, Shipp's 45%, and Drools a minimum of 24%, while Tetra TetraMin is ₹375 for 45 g. Choose what suits your fish and budget, and watch how they eat it.
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 fish, plants or tanks?
Not on this page today. The items listed here are five fish foods, and we would rather say that than promise a range we do not carry. For setup and water needs, see the water care collection above, and check back as more fish items are added.
