Press a tablet gently onto the aquarium glass below the waterline, or drop it directly into the water if you prefer. Feed once or twice daily, offering only as much as fish can consume within several minutes. Remove any uneaten food and store the pack in a cool, dry place.

Suits tetras, barbs, gouramis, angelfish, rainbowfish, swordtails, guppies and other tropical community fish. Not intended as a dedicated bottom-feeder food – use Insectivore Bottom Tablets for corydoras, loaches and plecos instead.

Store sealed, in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.

Pairs with Insectivore Bottom Tablets where the same tank also holds bottom-dwelling scavengers, and with Insectivore Algae Wafer if plecos or other grazers share the aquarium.

Covered by the consumer guarantees under Australian Consumer Law in addition to any manufacturer undertakings. Ships as a standard, ambient dry good with no special freight handling required.

Does the tablet actually stick to glass, or does it need pressing hard?

A gentle press below the waterline is enough – pressing it against clean glass for a couple of seconds lets it hold until fish graze it off.

Can I still use it if I don't want anything stuck to the glass?

Yes – it drops and sinks like a normal tablet if you'd rather feed it loose.

Why does it contain colourants E124 and E172?

They intensify the tablet's visual appeal; they're not required for nutrition and don't change palatability.

Will it mark or stain the glass?

No – it dissolves as fish graze it and leaves no residue once the tank is cleaned normally.
