sera Catfish Chips Nature 3.4oz/0.21lbs | Premium Fish Food for Ancistrus & Plecos | High Fiber | No Dyes & Preservatives | Supports Digestion & Promotes Healthy Growth | Ideal for Bottom Feeders

Smaller pieces than the original version that it replaced. Still my favorite pleco staple food, as it contains wood pieces that are crucial for their health.

Sera is obviously a very high-quality fish food. This is my favorite product of theirs. I have a female Rubberlip Pleco that *refuses* to show herself unless it's the middle of the night, and then immediately hides when she realizes I'm watching - in the same tank an also-female Bristlenose Pleco that is the exact opposite - she grazes on everything all day long. In my Goldfish tank, I have a large male Bristlenose Pleco (that has become more and more shy as he's got bigger...) - This is *the only food* they all eat. The Rubberlip actually comes out for these and the Bristlenose go at them when they realize they're in the tank. The ingredients and nutrition is obviously superior. My huge Goldfish actually intercepts these and eats them whole - maybe that's why he's so big?? - One concern: Sera has gone full-on environmental with their "Nature" focus - their products have all been revamped to a "Nature" focus - but they all suck now. Because they won't use certain ingredients or whatever, the new products are totally inferior. The flakes are all powdery and small, borderline useless because they just become a mess in the water- and the O-Nip Treat Tabs (one of the best foods in the industry) have changed markedly - the nutritional info is totally different and the tabs come apart much quicker. - I don't have the new "Nature" version but they have changed the nutritional info, ingredients, etc. But I can wholeheartedly recommend the original version.

After learning our lesson ordering cheaper big name brand Pleco foods that clouded the water and wasn't appetizing to our plecostomus - We have found that the Sera Wels-Chips are the best. Our shy plecostomus comes out looking for them pretty quick and we never see scraps the next day. No more experimenting with other brands - These are totally worth the extra few bucks.

The owner of our local fish store hailed these as a 'Game Changer' in the keeping of Farlowella (Twig Catfish). He quarantines his fish for 30 days before sale. These pellets greatly helped to 'beef' up the fish and improve their overall health. We have been using them for 6 months now and have had 2 spawnings from our 'Twigs'. All the Corydoras we have, most of bought from his store, love them too! We added 3 Red Lizard Cats yesterday, again from his store, and they hit the pellets w/in 30 seconds during feeding. Definitely give them a try!

Doesn't fall apart as quickly as Hikari algae wafers, and my cories seem to prefer those, but they will eat these as well.

I purchased these wafers to use as another food source for my neocaridina shrimp and snails. This wafer holds together a lot longer than other wafers that I have used. It will expand a bit but will not "flake apart" and can be left in the tank longer without needing to be cleaned up. I have also read that this food includes Alder Cones which are normally kept with freshwater shrimp anyways due to the positive impact they provide to the shrimp and water column. Awesome food!

I bought this for my school of 6 Cory's. They absolutely love it. No matter where they are in the tank, they come running when I put this food in. It DOES NOT cloud the water. I use the cap from Arizona Ice Tea gallon bottle to feed them. Take the tablets and break them up with a hammer in the cap. Sprinkle the powder throughout the tank. They will find it and this will prevent any fish from eating it because it is too small.

This is probably the favorite food of my pleco. He goes crazy when I throw one of these in and will munch on it till it's gone. Cories love the stuff as well. It's kind of expensive for the amount you get, but it will last a while considering that it only takes 2 to 3 per feeding.

This is excellent food for ancistrus/bushynose and other wood munching plecos. It's also a good source of calcium which helps plecos grow faster. I've been feeding this to my plecos on and off for well over a decade. Great food for snails too because of the calcium.

Jätte bra!

ce produit est pour mes laveurs de carreaux, ils ont apprécies

OTTIMO PRODOTTO! Garanzia di qualità TOP. I miei Ancistrus lo adorano. Ho solo quelli in acquario quindi posso affermare con certezza che è veramente indicato. In passato ho usato prodotti per pesci pulitori diversi e a volte trovavo dei resti interi ( neanche toccati!) che peraltro "inquinano" l'acquario se non consumati. Questo invece è ottimo. Ricordate che la Confezione è GRANDE... 380 GRAMMI! Prezzo ottimo.
