Tropical Green Algae Wafers 100ml / 45g – Sinking Wafers

Tropical Green Algae Wafers are vegetable-based sinking wafers enriched with spirulina, formulated for fish that depend on high plant and algae intake. They are a staple food for Loricariidae species including Sturisoma aureum, Pterygoplichthys pardalis, and Panaque maccus, and serve as a solid dietary supplement for omnivorous bottom-feeders, freshwater crustaceans, and marine crustaceans alike.

Formulated for Plant-Dependent Species

Many suckermouth and rasping catfish are heavily herbivorous in the wild, grazing on algae-covered surfaces rather than competing for mid-water foods. These wafers deliver the plant-based nutrition those species require, with spirulina providing a concentrated source of vegetable protein and pigment-supporting compounds. Omnivorous bottom-dwellers and crustaceans benefit from them as a regular supplement alongside a varied diet.

Designed to Stay Intact

• Wafers are dense and structured — they do not disintegrate on contact with water
• Remain whole even after extended periods on the substrate, giving slow or nocturnal feeders time to graze
• Do not cloud or contaminate the water, keeping tank conditions stable
• Allow suckermouth and rasping fish to feed naturally, as they would in the wild

Available in a 45g / 100ml size, suitable for smaller setups or as an introduction to the food before committing to larger quantities.

For keepers running planted or species-specific catfish and shrimp tanks, Tropical Green Algae Wafers offer a reliable, clean-feeding solution that works with the behaviour of the animals rather than against it.
