Hikari Sinking Wafers

A small soft disc that drops straight to the substrate, so corydoras, loaches and other bottom-dwellers get their share instead of losing it to faster fish above.

Key features

• Sinks quickly rather than drifting, putting food where bottom feeders actually look for it
• Softens on contact with water, which suits small downward-facing mouths that gulp rather than bite
• Holds its shape long enough for shy and nocturnal feeders to graze after the lights go out
• Community-tank sized, so one or two discs is a sensible feeding rather than a wasted wafer

This is a general bottom-feeder diet rather than an algae-based one, so dedicated grazers such as plecos are better served by an algae wafer. It pairs naturally with the corydoras we keep in store. Feed only what is cleared in a couple of minutes, since anything left over breaks down and fouls the water.
