Dymax Algae Wafers Supreme 60g Sinking Wafers — Spirulina-rich sinking discs for bristlenose, plecos and other bottom grazers

A bristlenose working the glass at night rarely gets a share of flake that faster fish snap up near the surface, so its food has to arrive on the bottom and stay there. Dymax Algae Wafers Supreme 60g Sinking Wafers (SKU: DM461) is the small pack of Dymax’s algae wafer, a disc-shaped food built around spirulina, vegetable matter and several algaes for plecostomus, sucking catfish and other herbivorous bottom feeders. The disc sinks quickly and holds its shape after it lands, so a shy grazer can rasp at it over a long period instead of competing for a few seconds of food. Dymax presents it as a complete daily diet fortified with vitamins, and the 60 g pack suits one community tank with a handful of bottom grazers, or a first try with a newly bought fish.

The analysis listed for the wafer is crude protein minimum 42%, crude fat minimum 6%, crude fibre maximum 5%, moisture maximum 10%, phosphorus minimum 1.2% and ash maximum 18%. That protein sits alongside the plant content rather than replacing it: the recipe leans on spirulina and algae, which plecos and other algae eaters prefer. Because the wafer keeps its form, it suits mixed tanks where corydoras, loaches and plecos all feed off the substrate and a crumbling food would be taken by midwater fish before it settled. Feed only what is cleared before the next feed and lift out anything left, since softened plant food fouls the water if it is forgotten in the gravel.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Bristlenose and plecos: A plant-based staple for suckermouth catfish that rasp food off surfaces.
• Community tanks: Gets food past midwater fish to the grazers on the bottom.
• Shy or slow feeders: A disc that stays intact while timid fish nibble at it.
• Small groups: A 60 g pack sized for one tank with a few bottom feeders.

Feeding Guide

• Start small: One wafer for a small group, adding another only if the first is cleared.
• Feed at dusk: Drop wafers in around lights-out, when nocturnal grazers become active.
• Clear leftovers: Remove softened remains before the next feed to protect water quality.
• Check condition: A well-fed pleco shows a gently rounded belly; adjust the number of wafers to suit.
