FAQs

How often should I feed my fish?

Feed your fish once or twice a day, providing only the amount they can consume within a few hours.

Are these wafers suitable for all types of fish?

No, these wafers are specifically designed for herbivore, bottom-feeding fish such as Plecos.

How should I store the fish food?

Store the fish food in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

What should I do if my fish aren't eating the wafers?

Make sure the wafers are sinking, and that you are feeding the correct fish type. Monitor for other potential problems, and adjust feeding times.

Can this food be used with other fish food?

Yes, it can be part of a varied diet. Supplement with other foods to provide a balanced diet.

How do I know if I am overfeeding?

If there is uneaten food remaining after a few hours, you are likely overfeeding. Also, cloudy water can be a sign of overfeeding.

Troubleshooting

Fish are not eating the wafers.

Ensure the wafers are sinking and accessible to your bottom-feeding fish. Observe your fish to ensure they are the correct type of fish for this food. Try offering the food at different times of the day.

Cloudy water.

Cloudy water could be from overfeeding. Reduce the amount of food you are using or increase the frequency of your water changes.

Wafer is dissolving too quickly.

Ensure that the wafers are not being disrupted by strong currents in the aquarium.
