Fish Science Oak and Algae Wafers 120g - Complete Pleco & Algae Eater Food

The FS Oak and Algae Wafers are a nutritionally complete diet formulated specifically for Plecostomus, Peckoltia, and other larger algae-grazing fish. Each 17mm wafer is designed to sink and hold together slowly, giving bottom-dwelling fish the time they need to graze naturally rather than racing against dissolving food.

Why Oak Bark Matters

The inclusion of oak bark at 3% of the formula is a deliberate choice, not a novelty. Oak bark provides essential dietary roughage that supports efficient digestion in species whose gut health depends on fibrous plant material. This is the kind of species-specific consideration that makes a real difference to long-term health.

Ingredients and Composition

Spirulina and kelp together account for 12% of the formula, delivering the algae content these fish actively seek out. The full ingredient list includes plant protein, cereals, fish and fish derivatives, wheat germ, vegetables, oak bark, and minerals, rounded out with tocopherols and rosemary extract as natural preservatives.

Feeding Guidance

Feed one to two times daily, offering only what your fish will consume within 20 minutes. For tanks housing smaller fish alongside larger algae eaters, break the wafers into smaller pieces to ensure all inhabitants can feed comfortably without competition.

At 120g, this is a practical everyday staple for keepers who want a scientifically considered diet rather than a generic algae wafer — one that accounts for the digestive requirements of the species it is made for.
