Sinking Wafers

After conducting extensive research into their nutritional requirements and eating habits, this food was specifically developed for corydoras catfish, loaches and other bottom feeders. Containing an optimal combination of premium ingredients including spirulina and krill to intensify colors and enhance vitality, its digestive qualities are easy for fish and invertebrates while its stabilized vitamin C helps support immune system health.

This unique disc-shaped diet was specifically created to emphasize the distinctive lionhead shape of Ranchu and Oranda fancy goldfish (Azumanishiki). However, this food can also serve other algae-consuming tropical fish species, including Plecostomus or Bristlenose catfish; marine herbivores etc.

This frozen fish food offers high protein and low fat, ideal for freshwater and brackish aquarium environments. Packed with quality fish meals and prawn meal, along with color intensifiers such as spirulina and kelp to boost color intensity, and stabilized vitamin C to strengthen immunity, it’s easily digested by both fish and invertebrates (including snails).

Algae Wafers

If you want to give your bottom dwellers an extra nutritional boost, algae wafers may be just what’s needed. Specially created to improve fish coloration while still being easy to digest and packed full of vitamins and minerals – try feeding yours these wafers today.

These wafers are ideal for plecos and other algae eating fish as they contain high concentrations of kelp and spirulina, along with stabilized vitamin C to strengthen immunity against stress and disease in fish. Easy to use – simply drop one into your tank where it quickly sinks to the bottom section where they soften into tasty treats for your algae eaters!

Feed your aquatic friends around one full wafer per 10 snails every two days. However, any unconsumed wafers should be removed after four hours to avoid fish waste in your tank. Furthermore, overfeeding could cause overpopulation of algae eaters within your tank and could ultimately result in excess waste production.

Sinking Pellets

Sinking fish pellets offer an alternative to floating feed pellets that float on the water surface; these sinking fish pellets quickly sink to the bottom of your tank, making them perfect for catfish and other bottom feeders. In addition, sinking pellets can be tailored with specific combinations of vitamins to meet different species’ dietary requirements.

These pellets are produced using a blend of ingredients such as fish meal and wheat flour that’s extruded under high pressure and heat into pellets, then dried and cooled to reduce moisture content and extend shelf life.

Pellets may not be as versatile as flakes for feeding your hikari fish, but they still make for an efficient option when it comes to providing nutrition for them. Pellets are easy for fish to digest and typically provide more nutritional goodness than their flake counterparts; more likely than their flake counterparts to be consumed, reducing waste and the possibility of polluting waterways with wasted food that remains uneaten. Furthermore, their consumption may be less affected by environmental conditions like wind or rain which disrupt water movement and cause leftover food particles dissolving into dissolution over time in an aquatic ecosystem.

Loach Food

Loaches can be an arduous challenge to feed. They’re predators and scavengers who love snacking throughout the day, hiding in their huts or “dancing” at the outflow of their tank, making it harder than expected to bring them out for food.

These algae wafers make an excellent food source for loaches and other bottom feeders, featuring plenty of vegetable matter and select algae species preferred by loaches. Their special formula allows for proper growth in herbivorous species while sinking quickly for easy feeding.

Amino acids in loach meat can be enhanced by supplementing their feed with 2 grams/kg Fe (II)-HPH, which improves EAA/TAA and EAA/NEAA ratios as well as quality of proteins. Furthermore, eating fish contains substances to maintain normal blood pressure; people suffering from hypertension should eat loach fish meat regularly to help manage it; it also contains compounds which normalize sleep patterns and may prevent somnological disorders from developing.
