Do the pellets stay intact or crumble once they sink?

from what I've seen, they stay intact for a while, and I've they absorb a bunch of water after 10-20 minutes, they become softer for the fish (or even dwarf frogs) to eat. my catfish will even go at them while they're still solid

Can my snails eat this?

I would suggest comparing the ingredients lists to get an accurate answer. Years back I had some Assassin Snails in one of my small 30 gal aquariums and never supplied them with foods. They ate algae off the glass and rocks and other decor. Since I only ise API Cichlid Pellets for all my aquariums (for over 12 years) it is possible that the snails might have eaten some but These are floating pellets - they float on water surface and fish come up to eat them.

Are these good for Tetra's as well?

Yes, can you use these for tetras as well.

can you feed upside down catfish and gourami with this?

It quickly falls to the bottom and and is eaten by any fish willing to bottom feed. I got it for my Koris.
