This wafer builds that roughage directly into a complete diet, rather than leaving you to rely on driftwood alone. The slow-dissolving format is also a nice touch, since it encourages the kind of natural grazing behaviour these fish would show in the wild rather than a quick feeding frenzy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFeeding Instructions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeed 1-2 times per day, offering as much as your fish will consume within 20 minutes.
