Pleco Ceramics High Protein Bottom Feeder Tablets with shrimp

Plecoceramics Pleco Algae Wafers with Anchovies & Shrimp | 50g

A professional-grade algae wafer developed with bottom-feeding species in mind and trusted by pleco breeders for consistent results. These slow-sinking wafers are built around a high-protein formula combining whole anchovy meal, whole shrimp meal, and squid meal with spirulina — delivering the kind of nutritionally complete, palatable food that plecos, shrimp, and other bottom dwellers actively seek out rather than ignore. The slow-sinking format gives bottom-dwelling and nocturnal species time to locate and consume food before it breaks down, keeping waste low and water quality stable.

At approximately 42% crude protein — higher than many competing algae wafer formulas — these wafers support healthy growth, vibrant colouration, and long-term vitality across all life stages. Spirulina rounds out the formula with natural immune support and pigmentation enhancement, while garlic and proteinase enzyme aid digestion and palatability. Widely used by professional pleco breeders for maintaining breeding condition and supporting reproductive health.

A Note From Us

We recommend feeding once daily rather than twice, and removing any uneaten food after 15 minutes — warm water breaks down wafers quickly and leftover food is one of the most common causes of water quality issues in bottom-feeder tanks. A little goes a long way with a high-protein formula like this one.
