Tetra Pro PlecoWafers Fish Food for Algae-Eaters, 5.29 oz

These Tetra PRO Pleco Wafers have been a great addition to my aquarium. The wafers sink quickly, making them perfect for plecos and other bottom-feeding fish. My fish took to them right away and seem to enjoy the algae-rich formula. I also like that the wafers hold together well, so they don’t immediately cloud the water or create a mess. The container lasts a long time, and it’s nice knowing the food is nutritionally balanced for herbivorous bottom feeders. If you have plecos or other algae-eating fish, this is a high-quality food that’s well worth buying.

We have 2 Plecos in our fully planted 55-gallon aquarium. One pleco is approximately five inches long, while the other is around two 1/2 to three inches long. A few days after planting a few Amazon Swords, I noticed they were showing multiple holes in them, to the point where a few days later, 75% of the swords' leaves looked like lace. I racked my brain trying to figure out the problem and if it was invasive snails or bad water quality. Lo and behold, one night, I observed the smaller Pleco absolutely destroying one of the last healthy Swords. In all of my years with Plecos, I never had one eat our live plants. But, come to think of it, I always bought lesser broad-leafed plants. I did a little research and found that algae wafers would be a great option to keep the Pleco from eating the plants (in addition to cucumbers, etc). Because it was so late at night when I finally caught the little guy destroying the plants, I couldn't get to either a pet store for wafers or the grocery store for veggies. I ordered these PlecoWafers with a 4 am delivery and received them a few hours later in the morning. Since putting these in the aquarium, the little Pleco now only eats these and whatever algae is left on the glass that the larger Pleco doesn't get. Our three mystery snails also love the wafers. How do I know the Pleco leaves my Amazon Swords alone? After pruning all the destroyed leaves, I left 2 remaining leaves on their stems, and they have not been touched. I'm looking forward to new leaves growing in the future. This was an essential purchase, and again, our one Pleco and three snails love them.

Terrific Product. Very Glad I made this purchase!

I buy on repeat-my pleco likes them!

My plecos love them, maybe too much. They are getting a little husky

I bought these for my Plecos and they love it because they cannot compete with guppies for any other food. Only issue is it floats at first then sinks but is unpredictable as to where it ends up in the bottom of the aquarium. Sometimes it wedges in a crevice of a decoration instead of laying flat on the bottom. I guess is something unavoidable due to the shape.
