Tetra Pleco Spirulina Wafers 42g
Overview
Tetra Pleco Spirulina Wafers are complete sinking wafers made for herbivorous bottom-feeding tropical fish, especially algae-grazing plecos and other bottom feeders. The wafer format is designed to sink straight to the feeding area, where it stays stable in the water and helps keep nutrients in the food until it is eaten.
The recipe includes spirulina and other algae components to help meet the needs of algae-grazing fish, while the fibre content supports healthy digestion. Because the wafers hold their shape well, they are a practical choice for mixed aquariums where you want a clean feeding routine without clouding the water.
This is a complete food, not a treat or supplement.
