Dennerle PlecoMenu 200ml

Dennerle PlecoMenu

Dennerle PlecoMenu is a basic disc food for catfish that eat algae and plants, especially plecos. It is made for South African freshwater aquarists who keep Ancistrus, Peckoltia, Glyptoperichthys, Baryancistrus or Hypancistrus and want a staple that suits how these fish naturally feed. It is supplied as a 200 ml pack.

Key Benefits

• Natural rasping behaviour: plecos and other algae-grazing catfish scrape at the discs, much as they would feed in their natural habitat.
• Natural foliage: contains mulberry leaves (4%) and walnut leaves (4%).
• Vitamin-rich vegetables: spinach (12%) is part of the recipe.
• Animal ingredients as well as plant matter: includes insects (15%) and crustaceans (2%), so the diet is not purely vegetable-based.
• Disc format: each disc is around 12 mm (approx. 0.5") in diameter. This size is well suited to bottom-dwelling catfish that graze rather than snap up floating flakes.
• Everyday staple: it is formulated as a basic food, so it can form the foundation of a pleco's regular diet.
