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?
