Slow-Dissolving Tablets for Bottom Dwellers
Product Description
Aqueon Bottom Feeder Tablets are built for fish that live at the bottom of the tank, think plecostomus, loaches, catfish, shrimp, and similar species. They sink and dissolve slowly, so food sticks around long enough to match how these fish naturally eat. If your fish need smaller portions, just break the tablets apart to avoid overfeeding. On top of that, they help support a healthy immune system, bring out your fish's natural colors, and cover what's needed for solid growth and overall vitality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What size are these tablets?
Ans: Each tablet comes in at roughly 11mm across, a good size for most bottom-feeding fish to handle, and you can always break them into smaller pieces if your fish need a smaller portion.
Q2: What are the dimensions of the packaging?
Ans: The packaging measures 4.7 inches by 1 inch by 6.3 inches, making it a convenient size for regular feeding of bottom-dwelling fish.
Q3: Can I break these tablets into smaller pieces?
Ans: Yes, if necessary, tablets can be broken into smaller pieces to help prevent overfeeding, especially useful for smaller bottom-dwelling species or tanks with a limited number of fish.
Q4: What specific fish species is this food ideal for?
Ans: This food is ideal for Cory Catfish, Loaches, Axolotls, and Geophagus, in addition to other bottom-dwelling fish like plecostomus, catfish, and shrimp commonly found in home aquariums.
Q5: Are these tablets suitable for shrimp as well as fish?
Ans: Yes. Shrimp can eat these just fine, so they're a handy choice if your tank has a mix of shrimp and other bottom feeders like plecostomus, loaches, and catfish.
Q6: Why do these tablets sink and dissolve slowly?
Ans: They drop to the bottom and break down gradually, giving bottom feeders plenty of time to eat at their own pace. That works well for fish that graze along the tank floor.
