Whether you're an experienced hobbyist or just starting out, Tetra has everything you need – from a large variety of quality fish food and innovative equipment to test kits and decor.

Review: Yup - Large bag great price , wafers perfect size for Clide the blue lobster (crayfish) food quality with this brand is good, nutrition seems like it would be healthy for him. It did not break up right away which is great cuz he takes his time and nibbles. No smell. So far so good. My other little critters will eat the leftovers as they are bottom feeder creeps.
Review: Very high quality - I give it to my pleco to convince him not to eat my plants but it's loved by all my other fish as well. They just wait until it gets soft and they will shred it and eat it. I think it's a perfect size and texture. I like that it has two different color portions which I assume they consist of different material. It arrived in perfect shape, nothing was broken, all the wafers are similar size and thickness. I would not expect anything else from tetra and it definitely delivers. And on the plus side, it's actually cheaper than no name food from PetSmart. Absolutely recommended!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this feed my snail?**
A: Snails need Moss wafers or pure algea, These have to high a protein for the best health of your snails.

**Q: do these dissolve or get softer once theyre underwater?**
A: They go underwater I guess they would eventually resolve if the fish did not eat them

**Q: Will goldfish eat these? Would they like them?**
A: I don't think there is anything a goldfish won't eat. Mine love them.

**Q: Does it hurt the other fish?**
A: No, not directly but if you put to many wafers in the tank and they set there for days it will degrade your water quality. Which in turn, will hurt your fish. Put just enough that will be eaten in a few hours.
