Large Pleco Tablets

Post by Shane »

See pictures below. I am tired of ordering Sera Catfish Tabs XXL and receiving a can of powder. What else is out there for big plecos? Looking for a good quality tablet at least 1" for Chewy. I rotate the tablets with fresh vegetables and Repashy and she loves the Sera tabs. However, about every third order arrives destroyed. And that hurts at $23 USD per can.

Hi Shane,

I bought my first container of these a few months ago. And you're right - they disintegrate quickly. Not only that, but they are so light they float on the water current in my tanks, and dissolve as they float. I get this creepy green fallout thinly coating the under space of my false floors.

Ugh.

I use a mix of generic algae wafers and some larger tablets that are designed to stick onto glass but I just dump them in. They're both from here, are quality foods and always arrive in decent shape. All my food for fish is from them.

Don't know if they ship to the states though, sorry.

Hi
I’ve used New Life Spectrum algae wafers for a few years and like them. They are not big, but stay together well and are well liked.
