Unlike vegetable-focused algae wafers, sinking wafers are designed to provide a more suitable prepared food for bottom feeders that forage for small animal and plant-based food particles in the substrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich fish is it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable for Corydoras and many omnivorous loaches and bottom-feeding catfish, subject to species and mouth size. Corydoras are not algae-eating cleaners: they need a proper diet, not just scraps that fall from other fish. This product is not automatically the best staple for strongly herbivorous plecos, which may need algae- and vegetable-rich foods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose sinking wafers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSink to the bottom:\u003c\/strong\u003e place food within reach of substrate-foraging fish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWafer format:\u003c\/strong\u003e allows fish to locate and graze on portions at their own pace.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTargeted nutrition:\u003c\/strong\u003e feeds bottom dwellers directly rather than relying on leftovers from surface feeders.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGroup feeding:\u003c\/strong\u003e wafers can be distributed around the tank so timid Corydoras are not excluded.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeeding guidance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlace a small number of wafers near the fish's usual foraging area, ideally when active tankmates are less likely to steal them.
