Dymax Algae Wafers Supreme 160g Sinking Wafers

Description

Dymax Algae Wafers Supreme 160g Sinking Wafers — Larger pack of algae wafers for tanks with several plecos and bottom grazers

Once a tank holds a colony of suckermouth catfish, wafers stop being an occasional extra and become the main meal every evening. Dymax Algae Wafers Supreme 160g Sinking Wafers (SKU: DM462) is the 160 g pack of Dymax’s spirulina-rich sinking wafer, made for plecostomus, sucking catfish and the other herbivorous fish that feed from the bottom. Each disc is shaped to sink rapidly and keep its form once it lands, which gives slower and less pushy species time to graze rather than losing the food to quicker tankmates. The formula is high in vegetable matter and contains several types of algae alongside the spirulina, and Dymax describes it as a complete daily diet with added vitamins.

Holding more than two and a half times the contents of the 60 g pack (DM461), the 160 g size suits established tanks with a breeding group of bristlenose, larger common or sailfin plecos, or a keeper feeding wafers across more than one aquarium. The analysis listed for the range is crude protein at least 42%, crude fat at least 6%, crude fibre no more than 5%, moisture no more than 10%, phosphorus at least 1.2% and ash no more than 18%. A large pleco will happily sit on a wafer and keep others away, so spreading several discs around the tank lets the smaller fish feed too. Close the pack after each feed and store it somewhere cool and dry so the wafers stay firm. As with any plant-based food, take out anything still uneaten before the next feed so it does not break down in the gravel.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Bristlenose colonies: Adults and growing juveniles feeding together each evening.
• Larger plecos: Common, sailfin and other big suckermouths that need more than a nibble.
• Mixed bottom dwellers: Corydoras, loaches and catfish sharing the same substrate.
• Several tanks: A pack size that covers wafer feeding in more than one aquarium.

Feeding Guide

• Spread the wafers: Place discs apart so dominant fish cannot guard them all.
• Scale to the group: Add wafers as the colony grows, guided by what is cleared.
• Feed around lights-out: Nocturnal suckermouths feed with more confidence in the dark.
• Remove remains: Siphon out leftover wafer before it softens into the gravel.
