My pleco has been eating these wafers regularly and seems more active and colorful. The wafers sink well and stay intact, so my fish can eat them without disturbance. A reliable and tasty treat.

I’ve tried several algae-based foods, but these stand out for their shape and slow sinking. My fish enjoy them and the color improvement is noticeable after a few weeks.
