Xtreme Scrapers 10 oz – Sinking Wafers for Bottom Feeders

Xtreme Scrapers 10 oz are sinking wafers made for plecos, catfish, loaches, shrimp, snails, and other bottom-feeding aquarium livestock. These wafers include spirulina, vegetables, and plant-based ingredients for fish and invertebrates that benefit from grazing-style foods.

The sinking wafer format helps food reach the lower areas of the aquarium where bottom feeders naturally search for food. The 10 oz container is useful for routine feeding in community aquariums, pleco tanks, shrimp tanks, and multi-species freshwater setups.

Feeding Instructions

Feed an amount that livestock can consume within a few hours. Place wafers 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 wafers 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 wafers, but feeding should be controlled to avoid leftover food buildup.
