Hikari Sinking Wafers 0.88 oz (25 g)

Hikari Sinking Wafers are premium sinking discs specially formulated for bottom-dwelling aquarium fish such as corydoras, loaches, catfish, and other downward-feeding species. These soft, slow-sinking wafers provide balanced daily nutrition in a highly palatable form that encourages natural bottom-feeding behavior.

Developed through research into the feeding habits and nutritional needs of bottom feeders, Hikari Sinking Wafers are designed to hold their shape underwater while still softening enough for fish to graze. This makes them a great choice for community aquariums, planted tanks, and freshwater setups with active bottom-dwelling fish.

Key Features

  • Designed for Bottom Feeders: Ideal for fish with downward-facing mouths that naturally feed along the substrate.
  • Balanced Daily Nutrition: Includes quality proteins, vegetable ingredients, vitamins, and minerals to support health and growth.
  • Highly Palatable Formula: Made with flavorful ingredients such as krill, spirulina, and garlic to attract picky eaters.
  • Soft, Slow-Sinking Wafers: Sinks quickly and softens gradually so bottom feeders can graze naturally.
  • Helps Reduce Waste: Formulated to stay intact long enough for fish to consume, helping limit excess particles in the aquarium.
  • Convenient 0.88 oz Size: Great for small tanks, trial feeding, or hobbyists with a small group of bottom feeders.
