Insectivore Algae Wafer 100gm

Description

Insectivore Algae Wafer 100g — Larger pouch of insect-protein algae wafers for plecos and catfish

A tank with a group of plecos, loaches or Corydoras goes through algae wafers quickly, and the bigger pouch keeps the cost per feed down. Insectivore Algae Wafer 100g (SKU: INS45) is the 100 g size of the range’s wafer: a multi-protein, sustainably sourced, all-natural food with black soldier fly larvae and mealworm meal for insect protein and spirulina, alfalfa, kelp and spinach for the greens that grazing fish need. Insectivore’s position is that insects are what wild fish eat, so a food containing insects works in aquariums as it does in nature, and the wafers are described as highly palatable.

Multivitamins, omega-3 and astaxanthin are added to support a strong immune system and to bring out natural fish colouration, with the range noting improvements in colour, fins, scales and body. The wafer suits bottom-feeding catfish and other fish that work the substrate, and it is slow enough to be picked at by shrimp and snails as well. At 100 g this pouch is the economical choice for a heavily stocked community tank, a breeding setup or a fish room, with the 40 g pouch (INS44) available for a single small tank. Reseal between feeds, and offer wafers once the lights are low.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Groups of bottom feeders: Several plecos, loaches or a shoal of Corydoras that empty a small pouch in weeks.
• Breeding and grow-out tanks: A regular green and insect meal for fry and juveniles that feed low in the water.
• Fish rooms: One pouch covering several tanks on the same evening feeding round, bought at the better price per gram.
• Invertebrate tanks: Dwarf shrimp and snail colonies that graze a wafer slowly over many hours.

Feeding Guide

• Evening feeding: Most catfish and loaches feed at dusk, so place wafers after the main lights go off.
• One wafer at a time: Add another only when the first has gone; uneaten wafers soften and foul the water.
• Clear the substrate: Siphon out any remains at the next water change.
• Keep sealed: Fold the pouch closed and store in a cool, dry cupboard.
