Xtreme

Built by aquarists and made in the USA, Xtreme Aquatic Foods has earned a loyal following for one simple reason: clean, nutrient-dense diets that fish actually thrive on. We're proud to stock the full Xtreme line here at Tropical Treasures, from tiny nano pellets to monster-sized predator chunks. Whatever swims in your tank, there's an Xtreme formula sized and balanced for it.

Why we love Xtreme

Xtreme builds their recipes around whole marine proteins like krill and fish meal instead of cheap fillers, so more of every bite turns into growth, energy, and color rather than waste. The pellets and flakes hold together well in the water, which means cleaner tanks, clearer water, and less mess in your filter. It's the kind of everyday nutrition we're happy to feed our own fish.

Find the right formula for your fish

For peaceful community tanks, the flake and small-pellet diets are a perfect daily staple. Try the floating Xtreme Li'L Fella 1mm Community Pellet or the color-boosting Xtreme Community Crave Krill & Spirulina Flakes. Browse the full range of freshwater flakes and pellets to mix and match.

Cichlid keepers have plenty to choose from too. The high-protein Xtreme Cichlid PeeWee Slow-Sinking Pellet suits growing fish, while the larger Xtreme Big Fella Slow-Sinking Pellet is ideal for bigger, hungrier mouths. These pair perfectly with our African cichlids and other community favorites.

Keeping a true heavyweight? The Xtreme Monster 9mm Predator Pellet is made for oscars, large cichlids, and other big eaters. If you're raising one of these fast growers, our oscar growth-rate guide and oscar tank-size guide are great companion reads.

For the little guys and the bottom of the tank, the Xtreme Nano 0.5mm Slow-Sinking Pellet feeds nano fish and fry, and the Xtreme Shrimpee Sinking Sticks are a favorite for shrimp and bottom dwellers. You'll find more sinking options in our bottom-feeder wafers collection.

Frequently asked questions

Is Xtreme food good for all freshwater fish?
Yes. Xtreme makes targeted formulas for community fish, cichlids, predators, nano fish, and bottom feeders, so you can match the right size and protein level to your tank.

Will Xtreme cloud my water?
No. The pellets and flakes are designed to stay firm and hold their shape, so they won't break apart and dirty the water the way many lower-quality foods do.

How much should I feed?
Offer only what your fish can finish in a couple of minutes, once or twice a day. Smaller, frequent meals keep water cleaner and fish healthier.
