High-Protein Formula
Not every bottom-feeding fish thrives on an algae-heavy diet alone.
Prime Protein Pleco Pops are designed to provide an additional source of animal-based protein for omnivorous bottom dwellers.
Protein-rich ingredients include:
- Wild-caught fish
- Black soldier fly larvae
- Krill
- Other carefully selected whole-food ingredients
This makes Prime Protein Pleco Pops a useful option for fish that benefit from a more protein-focused feeding rotation.
Great for Bottom Feeders
Prime Protein Pleco Pops are formulated for a wide range of omnivorous bottom-feeding freshwater fish.
Suitable fish may include:
- Plecos
- Corydoras
- Loaches
- Catfish
- Other omnivorous bottom feeders
Designed for Grazing
Unlike perfectly smooth factory-made wafers, Prime Protein Pleco Pops have a naturally textured surface that encourages fish to rasp and graze.
This rougher texture is intentional and helps support more natural feeding behavior in plecos and other bottom-dwelling fish.
Two Wafer Sizes
Prime Protein Pleco Pops include two wafer sizes to accommodate different fish sizes and appetites.
Smaller fish can work on smaller pieces, while larger plecos and catfish can handle the larger wafers more easily.
Handmade in Small Batches
Kat’s Aquatics Prime Protein Pleco Pops are handmade in Brooklyn, New York.
Rather than being mass-produced through high-speed extrusion, the wafers are slowly prepared and dehydrated at low temperatures.
Because they are handmade, individual wafers may vary slightly in shape, size, and texture.
Why the Texture Looks Different
Prime Protein Pleco Pops are not designed to be perfectly round or perfectly smooth.
The irregular shape and textured surface are part of the handmade manufacturing process and provide fish with a more natural grazing surface.
Feeding Recommendations
Feed an amount appropriate for the number and size of fish in the aquarium.
- Place wafers directly into the aquarium
- Allow them to sink to the bottom
- Feed where plecos and bottom feeders naturally forage
- Adjust the number of wafers based on fish size and stocking level
- Remove excessive uneaten food if necessary
Prime Protein Pleco Pops are best used as part of a varied and balanced diet rather than as the only food offered.
Good Food Rotation Option
Many omnivorous bottom feeders benefit from receiving a variety of foods rather than relying on a single wafer.
Prime Protein Pleco Pops can be rotated with:
- Vegetable-based wafers
- Algae wafers
- Fresh vegetables appropriate for the species
- Frozen foods
- Other quality sinking foods
A varied feeding schedule helps provide a broader nutritional profile for omnivorous fish.
