Questions & Answers

2 Customer Questions


What are the ingredients?

Answer by ChewySep 21, 2024
This food features a nutrient-rich formula that includes algae meal, wheat germ, soybean meal, and fish meal. These ingredients are designed to support the dietary needs of bottom feeders such as plecos, snails, and other algae-eating fish. The wafers are made to sink to the bottom of the tank, making them accessible to the intended aquatic species.

How much do you put in tank and how often?

Answer by ChewyAug 23, 2025
There isn't a specific daily guide for this food, but you should feed only what your fish can consume in 5 minutes to avoid uneaten food affecting water quality. Start with a small amount, as these wafers hold their shape for a long time, and adjust the quantity after observing your fish's reaction. It is generally recommended to feed bottom feeders like plecos 1-2 times per week with enough food for them to finish in a few hours, as they are often nocturnal.

Great for all bottom feeders (and goldfish stealers, too)

I keep a 75 gallon cold water tank for goldfish, with 4 Corydoras catfish, a couple of Algae eaters, and a Plecostomus. These wafers are smaller than I thought,

I keep a 75 gallon cold water tank for goldfish, with 4 Corydoras catfish, a couple of Algae eaters, and a Plecostomus. These wafers are smaller than I thought, and if any of my large goldfish spot the sinking wafer, they will inhale it and munch away in goldfish happiness.

Awesome food for my Corys and Shrimps

I have a community tank with Corydoras, Shrimp and a female Betta. The shrimp and Corys love them! The betta is always curious and takes a nibble but she knows it’s

I have a community tank with Corydoras, Shrimp and a female Betta. The shrimp and Corys love them! The betta is always curious and takes a nibble but she knows it’s for her tank mates. They go crazy for it. I put two in the tank for my 20 gallon every other day. This is definitely an item I’d repurchase.

They were all right

My pleco does not care a whole lot for these and it makes the tank super brown and murky within a few days so I don't like using these too much but they're okay

My pleco does not care a whole lot for these and it makes the tank super brown and murky within a few days so I don't like using these too much but they're okay maybe other fish hobbyists could have them I have plenty I have a whole cupboard full of these things because I had to fight the manufacturers at the time cuz I was going through a lot because FedEx was driving me up the wall with my deliveries cuz I kept losing my packages because of FedEx and then eventually they were all retreat and I ended up with nine pounds in these things thanks my fish has enough treats for life

Poor packaging.

Basically packaged in a paper bag. Bag ripped during shipment scattered about the shipping container.

Goldfish love it

Great product! Our trapdoor snails have no chance to taste it, since fish love them SO much and leave no bites for snails to eat
