Hikari Sinking Wafers
Targeted nutrition for the fish at the bottom of your tank. Hikari Sinking Wafers were developed specifically for corydoras catfish, loaches, and other bottom feeders with small, downward-facing mouths. The soft wafers sink fast and stay firm, so they will not cloud your water, and larger fish can swallow them whole while smaller fish nibble as they soften. A flavorful blend of fish meal, krill, silkworm, spirulina, and vegetable matter delivers balanced nutrition right where bottom dwellers feed. Keeping shrimp too? Add Shrimp Cuisine.
