## Overview

Tetra PlecoWafers provide a scientifically balanced, sinking diet tailored for herbivore bottom-feeding fish like plecos.

Trusted since 1951, Tetra ensures your algae eaters get premium nutrition daily or as a supplemental treat.

## Description

Tetra PlecoWafers are a nutritionally balanced, complete daily diet for herbivore bottom feeders such as plecos. These sinking food wafers contain zucchini, algae meal and fiber to simulate the benefits of driftwood and support desired digestibility. This food is formulated to nutritionally promote a healthier, longer life for bottom-feeding fish. To ensure that your herbivore bottom feeders and other algae-eating fish species are provided with complete daily nutrition, feed only the amount that your fish will consume within a few hours each day. For supplemental feeding of other veggie-loving fish, feed every few days, only what your fish can consume within a few hours. Remove any uneaten food to help keep your tank clean and clear. Since 1951, Tetra has developed the world’s most comprehensive body of fish food knowledge, and fishkeeping enthusiasts have looked to the brand for products and solutions that add ease and beauty to their home. Whether you're an experienced hobbyist or just starting out, Tetra has everything you need – from a large variety of quality fish food and innovative equipment to test kits and decor.

Review: Fish liked it - 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.
Review: Plecos love these wafers - High quality wafers that my plecos and corys love to go after when I add them to the tank. This is more of a supplement than a main diet item (I add vegetable scraps anytime I can to the tank for a few hours). You get quite a few wafers for the price, enough to last several months if you are using 2-3 a day.

A: They go underwater I guess they would eventually resolve if the fish did not eat them

**Q: Will goldfish eat these? Would they like them?**
A: I don't think there is anything a goldfish won't eat. Mine love them.

**Q: Does it hurt the other fish?**
A: No, not directly but if you put to many wafers in the tank and they set there for days it will degrade your water quality. Which in turn, will hurt your fish. Put just enough that will be eaten in a few hours.
