Xtreme NICE 5 oz – Sinking Sticks for Bottom Feeders

Xtreme NICE 5 oz is a sinking stick food made for plecos, catfish, loaches, shrimp, snails, and other bottom-feeding aquarium livestock. These sticks include spirulina, vegetables, and plant-based ingredients for fish and invertebrates that benefit from grazing-style foods.

The sinking stick format helps food reach the lower areas of the aquarium where bottom feeders naturally search for food. The 5 oz container is a useful size for smaller aquariums, trial feeding, and routine feeding in freshwater setups with compatible livestock.

Feeding Instructions

Feed an amount that livestock can consume within a few hours. Place sticks near caves, driftwood, plants, or areas where bottom feeders are most likely to graze.

Remove uneaten food as needed to help maintain water quality. Feeding amount should be adjusted based on livestock type, aquarium size, stocking level, and feeding response.

Feeding Tips

• Feed after lights dim for shy or nocturnal bottom feeders
• Break sticks into smaller pieces for nano tanks or smaller livestock
• Use vegetables or driftwood when appropriate for the pleco species being kept
• Rotate with other foods based on the livestock’s diet and feeding behavior
• Avoid overfeeding shrimp and snail tanks
• Remove uneaten food if it remains too long in the aquarium
• Store food sealed and dry between feedings

Important Feeding Note

Different bottom feeders have different dietary needs. Some plecos need more vegetable-based foods, some require driftwood, and Corydoras often benefit from smaller sinking foods and occasional frozen foods. Shrimp and snails may graze on sinking sticks, but feeding should be controlled to avoid leftover food buildup.
