Dymax Bottom Feeder Elite

Dymax Bottom Feeder Elite

Dymax Bottom Feeder Elite is a sinking wafer food for freshwater bottom-dwelling fish such as catfish, loaches and corydoras. It is a protein-rich, nutritionally balanced, fibre-rich diet that sinks to the substrate where these fish feed. It is also available in a medium pellet format for larger bottom feeders.

Key Benefits

• Highly digestible, fibre-rich formula that promotes healthy digestion in bottom dwellers.
• Helps keep aquarium water clean. The wafers are designed to hold their shape and not leach colour into the water.
• Spirulina and astaxanthin enhance natural fish colouration.
• Shrimp and vegetable ingredients give a varied, balanced menu for bottom feeders.
• Stabilised Vitamin C supports immune health.
• Sinking wafers in mini and medium sizes, from 1.6 mm to 2.5 mm, so the food suits both small and larger bottom feeders.
