Sinking Wafers
Sinking wafers that reach the catfish, loaches and plecos flakes never do. The bottom of the tank needs feeding too.

Our take
Flakes float and get eaten before they sink, so the bottom-dwellers, corydoras, loaches, plecos, quietly go hungry in a lot of tanks. These wafers sink fast and hold together on the substrate so bottom feeders can graze at their own pace, often after lights-out when they are most active. Drop one or two in an evening and remove any uneaten remains, because rotting food is the enemy of clean water.
