Sinking vegetable/algae-based foods for plecos. US PlecoWafers: 'all vegetable' staple diet with a concentrated algae centre. UK Pleco Tablets: milk and milk derivatives, fish and fish derivatives, vegetable protein extracts, cereals, yeasts, algae (spirulina 7.5%), oils and fats, sugars, derivatives of vegetable origin, molluscs and crustaceans, minerals; protein 40%, fat 6%, fibre 2%, moisture 9%.
For: Plecos and other herbivorous bottom feeders (staple); a supplement for other bottom-feeding fish. UK tablets name small plecos, Siamese algae eaters, gobies and whiptail catfish.
Careful: Remove uneaten wafers (they decay and pollute water); avoid overfeeding. Match the food to the species: not all plecos and bottom feeders are herbivores. Keep dry food cool and dry, replace about every 2 months, discard mouldy food.
