Fast-Sinking Wafers for Bottom Feeders: Large 13–14mm wafers sink rapidly to give Plecos, Catfish, Loaches, and other bottom-dwelling fish quick access to nutrition where they naturally feed
Designed for Nocturnal Feeding: Scrapers remain firm in water for hours, providing an extended feeding window for nocturnal species that become active after the aquarium lights go out
Cellulose for Natural Feeding Needs: Formulated with cellulose extract from Stinging Nettles to help provide an important dietary component for Plecos and Catfish that naturally scrape wood, roots, and other surfaces
Nutrient-Dense Ingredient Blend: Green peas are combined with fish, herring, kelp, shrimp, and spirulina to provide a diverse blend of plant- and marine-derived nutrition for bottom-dwelling species
Encourages Natural Feeding Behavior: The large, durable wafer format allows Plecos and other scrapers to graze over time, helping replicate the feeding behavior they exhibit on submerged surfaces in their natural environment
Plecos, Catfish, Loaches & More: Developed for bottom feeders but readily accepted by a variety of aquarium fish, including finicky species such as Knife Fish and Silver Dollars
Developed from Decades of Fish-Raising Experience: Xtreme Scrapers were developed from more than 45 years of experience raising tropical fish, creating a specialized wafer built around the nutritional and feeding needs of bottom-dwelling species
