Why Choose Xtreme Scrapers?
Bottom-feeding fish and grazing species often need foods that sink and stay available long enough for them to feed. Xtreme Scrapers are made in a wafer format that settles to the bottom, making them useful for plecos, loaches, catfish, shrimp, and snails.
Because different bottom dwellers have different dietary needs, Xtreme Scrapers should be used as part of a varied feeding routine. Rotate with algae wafers, sinking pellets, vegetables, frozen foods, and species-appropriate foods as needed.

Feeding Instructions
Feed only what your aquarium livestock can consume within a reasonable feeding period. Remove uneaten food as needed to help maintain water quality.
For shrimp, snails, and slower grazers, monitor feeding closely and adjust portions based on how quickly the wafer is consumed. Avoid overfeeding, especially in smaller aquariums.
