Our in-depth look
Who it's for
Bottom-feeding algae-eaters such as plecos, otocinclus and some catfish.
Who should skip it
Tanks without bottom feeders don't need it.
Tips
Drop in wafers after the lights go out, when many bottom feeders are active, and remove leftovers the next morning.
Questions owners ask
Do my algae-eaters need extra food?
Yes — most tanks don't have enough algae to feed them fully.
Mini or full-size?
Mini wafers suit smaller fish; large plecos need full-size wafers.
