Tropical Green Algae Wafers 100ml/45g
Overview
Tropical Green Algae Wafers are sinking algae wafers for tropical aquarium fish, built around a plant-based recipe with spirulina. They are designed for daily feeding of Loricariidae species that need a strong share of plant and algae ingredients in the diet.
These wafers suit bottom-feeding fish that graze and rasp for food, and they are also a useful supplement for omnivorous bottom-dwelling fish. In addition, they can be offered to freshwater and marine crustaceans.
The wafers are highly hydrostable, so they absorb water while keeping their shape instead of breaking apart. That makes them easier to feed to crustaceans and helps support a more natural scraping-style feeding pattern in suckermouth fish.

Feeding Guide
Feed several times a day in small portions, giving only as much as the fish will eat within 2 to 3 minutes.
This approach helps keep the wafers manageable for bottom feeders and keeps feeding controlled for species that graze from the substrate.
Notes
A good choice for Loricariidae species that need a strong plant and algae component in their diet, including Sturisoma aureum, Pterygoplichthys pardalis and Panaque maccus.
Also suitable as a supplement for omnivorous bottom-dwelling fish and for freshwater or marine crustaceans.
