Feeding Recommendations

Feed once daily, preferably in the evening, especially for bottom-feeding fish that are most active during the evening and nighttime hours.

Place the wafers directly into the aquarium, where they will sink to the bottom and allow fish to feed naturally.

Offer only as much food as your fish can consume overnight, adjusting the quantity according to the number, size, and nutritional requirements of your fish.

Avoid overfeeding and remove any uneaten food in the morning to maintain optimal water quality and prevent organic waste accumulation.

Algae Wafers can be combined with other suitable foods to provide a varied and balanced diet.

Important Guidelines

• Bottom-feeding fish should not rely solely on leftover food from other aquarium inhabitants. They require a specialized diet that meets their nutritional needs.
• Place the wafers in areas that are easily accessible to bottom-feeding fish.
• When keeping multiple bottom-feeding fish, distribute the wafers across different areas of the aquarium to minimize competition for food.
• Avoid overfeeding to maintain optimal water quality and stable nitrate and phosphate levels.
• Store the product in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight.
