Insectivore Algae Wafer 40gm

Description

Insectivore Algae Wafer 40g — Insect and spirulina wafers for bottom-feeding catfish and algae eaters

Bottom feeders get their share last at feeding time, and a wafer that reaches the substrate whole is the simplest way to fix that. Insectivore Algae Wafer 40g (SKU: INS44) is a multi-protein, sustainably sourced, all-natural fish food from the Insectivore range, built on black soldier fly larvae and mealworm meal with spirulina, alfalfa, kelp and spinach supplying the plant side of the diet. The range calls itself “The Ultimate Insect Formula for Fish”, on the reasoning that insects are a natural part of what wild fish eat. Added multivitamins, omega-3 and astaxanthin support a strong immune system and natural colouration.

Algae Wafers are made for bottom-feeding catfish and other fish that graze the substrate, from bristlenose plecos and Corydoras to loaches, dwarf shrimp and snails. Plant and insect proteins arrive together in one wafer, which the range describes as helping development, growth, colour and vigour, with an improvement in colour, fins, scales and body over time. The 40 g pouch is the smaller of two sizes and suits a single tank or a short trial, while the 100 g pouch (INS45) covers a heavily stocked tank or several aquariums. Feed in the evening when most catfish are active, and keep the pouch sealed and dry.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Catfish and plecos: A staple for bristlenose, Corydoras, Otocinclus and other substrate grazers that miss out on flakes.
• Community tanks: Gives the bottom of the tank its own meal after the mid-water fish have eaten.
• Shrimp and snail tanks: A slow-eaten wafer that invertebrates can pick at over hours.
• Varied diets: The green, plant-based part of a rotation with flakes, granules and frozen foods, so grazers are not living on protein alone.

Feeding Guide

• Feed after lights dim: Drop a wafer near a hiding spot once the tank quietens and the catfish come out.
• Portion by appetite: Offer only as much as is cleared within a few hours; a single wafer feeds several small fish.
• Remove leftovers: Take out anything uneaten by morning to protect water quality.
• Store dry: Reseal the pouch after each use and keep it away from heat and moisture.
