Hikari Sinking Wafers 3.88 oz (110 g)
Hikari Sinking Wafers are premium soft disc-shaped wafers specially crafted for bottom-dwelling freshwater fish such as corydoras, loaches, catfish, plecos, and other downward-feeding species. These flavorful sinking wafers encourage natural grazing behavior while providing balanced daily nutrition for active bottom feeders.
The 3.88 oz package is a great size for community aquariums, planted tanks, and freshwater setups with multiple bottom-dwelling fish. Hikari Sinking Wafers sink quickly, soften gradually, and hold together underwater to help reduce waste and water clouding when fed properly.

Feeding Instructions
Feed only the amount your fish can consume within a few hours. Remove any uneaten food to help maintain water quality and prevent excess waste in the aquarium.
For shy or nocturnal bottom feeders, offer wafers after the aquarium lights dim so they have a better chance to feed without competition from faster fish. Use Hikari Sinking Wafers as part of a varied diet with other species-appropriate foods.
Why Choose Hikari Sinking Wafers?
Bottom-feeding fish often need food that reaches the substrate and remains available long enough for natural grazing. Hikari Sinking Wafers are designed to sink quickly and soften gradually, making them a strong choice for corydoras, loaches, catfish, plecos, and other bottom-dwelling aquarium fish.
The wafer format is especially useful in community aquariums where top- and mid-water fish may eat floating foods before bottom feeders get a chance to feed.
