Give your bottom feeders a boost with GloFish® Wafers—nutrient-rich sinking food designed to nourish fish that dwell near the substrate. These wafers go straight to the bottom, where bottom-feeding species can easily find and enjoy them. With added amino acids that enhance natural fluorescence, GloFish® Wafers help your fish shine brighter while supporting healthy development.
Why GloFish® Wafers are a smart choice:
- They sink quickly so bottom dwellers don’t have to compete with top swimmers.
- Special amino acids enhance the vibrant fluorescence of GloFish® species.
- High-quality shrimp protein supports growth, strength, and energy.
- Each wafer holds its shape, reducing cloudiness and waste in the tank.
These GloFish® fish and companions love the wafers:
- GloFish® Sharks – territorial and active, they enjoy having access to food at their level.
- GloFish® Corydoras – peaceful bottom scavengers that thrive on a balanced diet.
- Albino Corydoras – social and hardy, they benefit from sinking nutrition sources.
- Bristlenose Plecos – including standard, albino, and rusty red types, all happily graze on wafers to supplement their algae intake.
Whether you’re feeding a single pleco or a crew of curious corys, GloFish® Wafers give your bottom dwellers exactly what they need—right where they need it.
Set-Up Your Tank
- Make sure it all works: We suggest your tank be set-up for at least 24 hours before ordering fish to ensure all equipment is working.
- Use a heater: GloFish® fish enjoy tropical temperatures of 76-80F.
- Make Them Shine Their Brightest: GloFish® fish absorb light and then re-emit it, so their unique fluorescent colors will appear brighter and more vibrant as the amount of light is increased. So the more blue light you have the more your fish will shine!
Add Your Fish
- Follow this acclimation guide to make sure they adjust to their new home.
Feed Your Fish
- Feed two to three times daily, in small amounts, only as much as your fish can eat in a minute or so.
