Mystery snails and shrimp love these
Mystery snails and shrimp love these! They sink to the bottom quickly and don’t dissolve as quickly as other brands I’ve tried which allows my critters to feast longer. They don’t contain copper, so safe for snails. My betta loves to snack on these as well, so they definitely have his approval! Good quality and good value for money.

Perfect and Essential for Bottom Feeders’ Diets!
I’ve been feeding pleco wafers to my bottom-dwellers for a while now, and they’re a staple in my tank. These wafers are not only a hit with my plecos, but my Rapheal catfish and shrimp go absolutely crazy for them too! Here’s a breakdown of why I find them so valuable:Taste Appeal:The enthusiasm from my plecos is evident the moment the wafers hit the bottom. My Rapheal catfish and shrimp are just as eager—they swarm the wafers, competing with the plecos to get their share. It’s clear these wafers are flavorful and appeal to multiple species.Nutritional Balance:The wafers contain a mix of algae, vegetable matter, and proteins, providing a balanced diet for my bottom-feeders. I’ve noticed that my plecos and catfish look healthier, with vibrant colors and steady growth, thanks to the high-quality nutrients in each wafer.Ease of Use:The wafers sink quickly and stay intact underwater, so they’re easy for my bottom-dwellers to access without leaving a mess or clouding the water. This is a big plus, as it keeps my tank looking clean and provides consistent nutrition.Longevity and Value:Each wafer lasts quite a while, allowing even the slower eaters plenty of time to enjoy them. Plus, they’re affordable, so they’re an economical choice for keeping a well-fed group of fish.

Great wafers for algae eaters and loaches.
This is an excellent product for plecos and loaches because the wafers are loaded with all the necessary nutrients to keep them healthy and thriving. I believe and trust in this brand.

Great feed, awful bag
Buy this feed, then put it in a ziploc bag. It’s great feed for your bottom feeders, but the bag doesn’t really close once you open it, so just put it into a ziploc bag once you open it. Overall, worth the purchase.

LOVED IT
Jacques loved the wafer! Small portion and isn’t messy. Definitely worth the price. This crayfish is a picky eater and so far only likes raw meat and these wafers.
Darlene Bartlett –
Awesome no complaints at all

A mi pleco si les guiaron las pastillas, es un producto útil si quieres mayor nutrición para los peces. Las tabletas no son muy grandes pero se degradan lentamente y rinden.

Good quality

¡WOW! 🎉 Mis peces están saltando de alegría… ¡literalmente! 🐠 Con las Tetra VEGGIE ALGAE WAFLE, ya no tengo que preocuparme por su nutrición. Es como llevar un pedacito de la naturaleza directamente a mi acuario. 🌊 Es increíble ver a mis pequeños devorar estas delicias en cuestión de segundos. ¡Si tuvieran pulgares, seguro levantarían ambos! 👍🌿 #FiestaEnElAcuario 🎈🐡🥳

We have 6 different varieties of plecos, and all loved this food, so can recommend it, they all are doing and looking well. And it was not bad value for the money. Need a larger bag though.
