Xtreme X-Tabs
Xtreme X-Tabs are a clever two-in-one treat. Press a tablet onto the aquarium glass and watch your fish crowd around it, or let it sink to the bottom for plecos and other bottom feeders. Each resealable pouch combines freeze-dried marine protein tablets (brown) and spirulina tablets (green), so both your carnivores and your algae grazers get something they love, with no added hormones. Browse the rest of our aquarium foods while you stock up.
Why Xtreme X-Tabs
- Two foods in one pouch. Brown tablets are freeze-dried marine protein, green tablets are spirulina, covering carnivores and herbivores alike.
- Press-on or sinking. Stick a tablet to the glass for interactive surface feeding, or drop it in for plecos and bottom feeders.
- Feeding frenzy up close. Glass-mounted tablets bring fish right to the front, a great way to watch shy or bottom-dwelling species come out.
- Clean and convenient. Roughly 10 mm tablets in a resealable pouch, with no added hormones.
Two Sizes
Pick the size that fits your tanks:
- 2.5 oz (70 g) bag. Great for a single tank or a first try.
- 5 oz (142 g) bag. Better value for bigger or multiple aquariums.
Feeding Directions
Feed 3 to 4 times a week as a supplementary treat, offering 1 or 2 tablets per feeding depending on aquarium size and the fish you keep. To surface feed, press a tablet firmly and flat against clean glass just below the water line for a few seconds. To bottom feed, simply drop a tablet in and let it sink. Remove any uneaten tablets after feeding.

FAQ
How do I get a tablet to stick to the glass?
Press it firmly and flat against clean aquarium glass just below the water line and hold for a few seconds. If it will not hold, it still works perfectly as a sinking tablet.
Are X-Tabs a complete diet?
No. They are a supplementary treat. Feed 3 to 4 times a week alongside a balanced staple food.
Which fish are they for?
Community fish that feed at the surface, plus plecos and other bottom feeders thanks to the sinking action. The green spirulina tablets also suit herbivores.
Freshwater or saltwater?
Both. The marine protein and spirulina combo works in freshwater and marine aquariums.
