Pleco & Catfish Algae Wafers – Special Food for Bottom-Dwelling Fish. Most Loricariidae and many other fish feed on Aufwuchs—a German term meaning biofilm or algae growth. It describes a complex ecosystem of plant and animal organisms forming a living layer on rocks, wood, roots, and various substrates. Aufwuchs consists of algae, bacteria, crustaceans, worms, insect larvae, and various microorganisms that serve as a natural food source for many fish species.
With this in mind, Discusfood has developed a special food designed specifically for plecos, bottom-dwellers, and other fish – Pleco & Catfish Algae Wafers.
What Makes This Food Special?
- Mimics a natural diet – the ingredients closely resemble the nutritional composition of Aufwuchs.
- High-quality production – these wafers are not compressed waste byproducts but are carefully crafted using an extrusion process.
- Nutrient preservation – the production method does not involve high temperatures, ensuring that all valuable nutrients and vitamins remain intact.
- Easily digestible – with a fine texture and an optimal nutrient balance, this food is perfect for daily feeding.
Pleco & Catfish Algae Wafers are the ideal choice for aquarium enthusiasts who want to provide a complete and natural diet for their fish.
