Pisces Algae Wafers 500g – Sinking Catfish & Algae Eater Food

Pisces Algae Wafers 500g are sinking aquarium fish food designed for algae eaters, catfish and other compatible bottom-feeding fish.

The wafers contain a combination of vegetable ingredients, spirulina, plant plankton, fish meal and prawn meal, along with added vitamins and minerals. They sink to the bottom of the aquarium where bottom-feeding fish can graze naturally.

As the wafers absorb water they gradually soften, making them easy for fish such as Bristlenose Catfish and other compatible plecos to feed on.

Feeding Pisces Algae Wafers

Feed an amount appropriate for the number and size of fish in your aquarium. Allow the wafers to sink so bottom-feeding fish have time to locate and graze on them.

Avoid overfeeding and remove significant uneaten food before it begins to break down and affect water quality.

For nocturnal catfish and plecos, offering some food shortly before or after the aquarium lights are switched off can help make sure they have an opportunity to feed.

A Varied Diet Is Important

Even fish commonly described as algae eaters may naturally consume a mixture of algae, plant matter, microorganisms and other foods.

Pisces Algae Wafers can form part of a balanced feeding routine, but the exact diet should always be matched to the species you keep.
