xMicro Wafers for All Tropical Fish
Discover Aquatic Foods Inc. Wafers 3.5mm, a micro sinking wafer crafted to suit a wide range of tropical species. Each small wafer, roughly 1/8 inch in diameter, sinks gently to the substrate, making mealtime accessible for bottom dwellers while still appealing to mid-water feeders. A thoughtfully balanced mix of spirulina, algae, and vegetables provides variety in every bite without overwhelming the tank’s ecosystem.
What’s in the mix
This formula blends protein-rich fish meal with plant-forward ingredients. The blend features powdered seaweed, spirulina, celery, carrots, squash, spinach, broccoli, sweet potato, tomato, and zucchini, complemented by vegetable oils and a vitamin and mineral supplement. Freeze-dried krill and plankton add natural flavor and texture to keep feeding interesting.
- Size and texture: micro sinking wafers designed to attract bottom feeders without clouding the water.
- Dust-free quality: wafers are sifted and graded to remove most dust and chips, promoting a cleaner feeding experience.
- Steady sinking: wafers are designed to settle gradually, giving shy or slow feeders time to locate the meal.
Nutrition and feeding context
Nutrition highlights include a crude protein minimum of 30%, crude fat minimum of 7.5%, crude fiber up to 4%, and moisture up to 10%. The blend is fortified with double stabilized vitamin C to complete a balanced plate of nutrients, pairing animal-based protein with plant-derived components for a varied diet.
