Great Quality and Works Great!

The media could not be loaded. The food quality is great and I find that it's the perfect size. It has all the nutrients that my Pleco needs and it holds up great with its thickness and texture. Overall I feel it's a great quality food and very efficient and effective. Read more

Good quality

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. Read more

Outstanding food product for Plecos

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.

Game Changer

The media could not be loaded. 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! Read more

Quality food.

It's good to know my ancistrus in tanks without natural wood decor are getting their needs met. The ingredients list on the actual product was slightly different than in the ad pic. But the product is eaten enthusiastically by all my fish, not just the plecos. Actually, my cat follows me around and begs for them as well. Read more

This is the good stuff.

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. Read more

Great for shrimp and snails!

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!

Excellent 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. Read more
