Mars Fishcare includes the trade names Aquarian and API (aka Aquarium Pharmaceuticals), two companies owned by Mars, Inc, the makers of food products such as Uncle Ben's rice, Wrigley's gum, and Mars candy bars. Aquarian and API are fish care product manufacturers based in Chalfont, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, in the United States.

Aquarian was developed by Forrest Mars, Sr, owner of Mars Inc in 1975 to develop fish foods that were 'superior to all others, but to also prove it with lab-controlled trials'. Aquarian manufactures products for the aquarium such as various forms of fish food, the Aquarian brand Tap Water Safe an aquarium conditioner, and Weekly Cleaner to provide beneficial bacteria necessary for removing ammonia and nitrites from the aquarium water. The Aquarian site also includes several guides to assist the fishkeeper covering subject matter such as beginning fishkeeping, care, nutrition, and health care with a FAQ section. The main product page includes links to each product page which describes the product and its use.
