Tropical Green Algae Wafers (boost with spirulina)

Description

Green Algae Wafers

GREEN ALGAE WAFERS vegetable, sinking wafers with spirulina for algae eaters. Vegetable food in the form of sinking wafers with spirulina, intended for everyday feeding of Loricariidae fish with a high dietary demand for plant material and algae such as Sturisoma aureum, Pterygoplichthys pardalis, Panaque maccus etc.
Moreover, it serves as a perfect dietary supplementation for omnivorous bottom feeding fish, freshwater and marine crustaceans. The wafers do not disintegrate in water (they retain their texture and do not fall apart when soaked), which makes crustaceans’ feeding much easier.
They also allow suckermouth and rasping fish feed the way they do in the wild. Wafers do not disintegrate and contaminate the water, even when lying at the bottom for a long period of time.

Green Algae Wafers: feeding plecos and shrimp in Singapore tanks

These sinking spirulina wafers are a staple for the vegetable-hungry bottom feeders many local keepers run, from bristlenose and common plecos to Corydoras and shrimp. Because the wafers hold together rather than dissolving, plecos can rasp at them over hours the way they would graze biofilm, and crustaceans get a stable surface to feed on without clouding the water. That hydrostability is the practical difference from cheaper crumbly wafers.

Feed after lights-out for nocturnal plecos so faster mid-water fish do not steal the wafer first. In our warm 27-29C tanks a single wafer can foul a small tank if left for days, so drop one at a time and remove any soft remains the next morning. Vegetable matter supports digestion in algae-grazers that otherwise struggle on a purely protein diet.
