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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Note From Us\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh protein formula (approx. 42%) — above average for algae wafers — supports healthy growth across all life stages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhole anchovy, shrimp, and squid meal provide superior protein sources with excellent palatability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpirulina supports immune health and enhances natural colouration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGarlic and proteinase enzyme promote digestion and food acceptance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlow-sinking format ideal for bottom dwellers and nocturnal feeders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrusted by professional pleco breeders for breeding condition and reproductive support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlecos of all species — Bristlenose, Hypancistrus, Peckoltia, and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeocaridina and Caridina shrimp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurtles and axolotls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorydoras and other bottom-feeding fish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGuaranteed Analysis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrude Protein: Approx. 42%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrude Fat: 6%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrude Fibre: 3%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsh: 11%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoisture: 10%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhole anchovy meal, whole shrimp meal, soybean meal, wheat flour, spirulina, fish oil, squid meal, yeast, calcium propionate, rice bran, proteinase enzyme, garlic, brine shrimp, mixed vitamins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm: Slow-sinking algae wafers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackage weight: 50g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Pleco Ceramics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49268624228574,"sku":null,"price":12.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/4768\/4574\/files\/BottomFeedertabletswithShrimp1_jpg.webp?v=1792721920","url":"https:\/\/poseidonaquaticsandplants.com\/products\/pleco-ceramics-high-protein-bottom-feeder-tablets-with-shrimp","provider":"Poseidon Aquatics And Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
