Very high quality
I give it to my pleco to convince him not to eat my plants but it's loved by all my other fish as well. They just wait until it gets soft and they will shred it and eat it. I think it's a perfect size and texture. I like that it has two different color portions which I assume they consist of different material. It arrived in perfect shape, nothing was broken, all the wafers are similar size and thickness. I would not expect anything else from tetra and it definitely delivers. And on the plus side, it's actually cheaper than no name food from PetSmart. Absolutely recommended!

Great Quality and Works Great!
I bought this originally because I am a huge fan of the Tetra Brand. 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.

Tetra Pro Pleco Wafers Fills the Spot for your Bottom Feeders
I've been ordering these wafers for years. I've got a Pleco that loves them as an extra snack. The cost is usually really good and for the amount you get, it's worth it. Keep your eyes out for 2 for one deals!

Must have, if you have broad leaf live plants
We have 2 Plecos in our fully planted 55-gallon aquarium. One pleco is approximately five inches long, while the other is around two 1/2 to three inches long. A few days after planting a few Amazon Swords, I noticed they were showing multiple holes in them, to the point where a few days later, 75% of the swords' leaves looked like lace. I racked my brain trying to figure out the problem and if it was invasive snails or bad water quality. Lo and behold, one night, I observed the smaller Pleco absolutely destroying one of the last healthy Swords. In all of my years with Plecos, I never had one eat our live plants. But, come to think of it, I always bought lesser broad-leafed plants. I did a little research and found that algae wafers would be a great option to keep the Pleco from eating the plants (in addition to cucumbers, etc). Because it was so late at night when I finally caught the little guy destroying the plants, I couldn't get to either a pet store for wafers or the grocery store for veggies. I ordered these PlecoWafers with a 4 am delivery and received them a few hours later in the morning. Since putting these in the aquarium, the little Pleco now only eats these and whatever algae is left on the glass that the larger Pleco doesn't get. Our three mystery snails also love the wafers. How do I know the Pleco leaves my Amazon Swords alone? After pruning all the destroyed leaves, I left 2 remaining leaves on their stems, and they have not been touched. I'm looking forward to new leaves growing in the future. This was an essential purchase, and again, our one Pleco and three snails love them.

Works for our pleco
We've always fed our pleco this brand and the pleco is huge. They grow to as large as their tank size will allow, but we feed about 3 pellets a day. Our pleco is about as big as a turkey leg, so the fish is eating well!

A mi pleco si les guiaron las pastillas, es un producto útil si quieres mayor nutrición para los peces. Las tabletas no son muy grandes pero se degradan lentamente y rinden.
