Pleco Says âYes, Please!â
This review is for Tetra PRO PlecoWafers 2.12 Ounces, Nutritionally Balanced Vegetarian Fish Food, Concentrated Algae Center, Golds & Yellows, Model Number: 16447. My pleco is 7 years old and he is about 10-12 in. long and 3-4 in. wide. I drop two wafers into the tanks in the morning and evening and he seems to like them. However, I have never personally seen him eat any of them. It takes him a long time to finish two so maybe I need to cut down the number to one wafer per serving. I donât have any other creatures in the tank with him and I do occasionally see one disc just sitting there waiting to be eaten. Perhaps heâs taking his time because he doesnât have to fight with anyone else for his food? I like that they donât cloud up my tank or dissolve too quickly to then get sucked into the filtration system. Itâs also so much easier to take a wafer or two and drop them into the tank versus shaking flakes or pellets which often leads to too much falling into the water at one time and then gets sucked into the filter. Overall, my pleco seems to like the wafers so Iâd say itâs a win. Iâd give these a 5.0/5.0 – 02/12/2025.03/19/2025: My pleco loves these so much that I got 4 more bags. This time I went with 5.29oz because 2.12oz was ridiculously small and my pleco definitely can eat 2-3 of the wafers per meal. The smaller bag barely lasted one month (2-3 per meal/2x a day). The only thing that I noticed is my water needs more frequent changing ever since I got these wafers and my pleco leaves long trailing poop all over the tank. Still worth it because he, or maybe she, is very happy! Highly recommended.

Quality pleco wafers
My Pleco loves seeds. Theyâre perfectly good. Theyâre not very big but theyâre fine.

my fish seem to like this brand
These are pretty good i suppose . My pleco like them better than others . But becareful not to put too many in the tank because you get nasty algae blooms that once they start its a mess to get rid of.

How do you review fish food?
My snail ate the wafers without an issue. Snail is still alive so I guess they work?!
Harper –
Truly vegetable based food for fish, snails, and shrimp!
My pleco, amano and neocaradina shrimp and snails all love these wafers. Many foods sold as vegetable, algae or spirulina-based actually contain high amounts of animal protein. The best thing about this wafer is that it is actually well-suited to true algae eaters.

Empaque sellado en buenas condiciones , tiene muy buen olor respecto a otros alimentos de fondo, es muy ligero al introducirlo al agua, asà que les recomiendo apagar su filtro interno en caso de que tengan… Excelente compra…
