## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I feed my tadpole this?**
A: If you break them up smaller the tadpole may eat on it but this would be alot for the lifespan of a tadpole, I would try bloodworms (freeze-dried or fresh) the tadpole can keep eating these after he turns into a frog and they're more easily eatin by the small mouth of tadpole

**Q: Can I feed my tadpole this?**
A: tadpoles eat plants, so since this is algae it should work.  these tablets sink, and I'm not sure if that matters. when they start to grow legs their diet includes proteins, such as invertebrates.  I would look for some duckweed since it floats

**Q: What's the xtreme mean?**
A: Not sure why the "eXtreme" is on the label.  The veggie wafers are two toned just like the package shows and my Pleco loves them.  We've had him for many years and he is now almost 12 inches long.  I assume this means the food we give him keeps him healthy since our previous Plecos usually lived a couple of years.  I think this is a good product

**Q: Can I feed my tadpole this?**
A: For the person who said you don't need to feed a tadpole - you absolutely DO have to feed a tadpole!! You should feed them healthy, nutritious vegetables like romaine lettuce, spinach, zucchini, all cut up into little pieces. Tadpoles love those sorts of things. Tadpoles need good nutrition to be able to go through the pretty impressive body rearranging they do on their way to frogs. The only time they don't eat is while they are in the final transition from big legged tadpole to frog - their stomach is readjusting during that short period of time so it can now eat crickets and bugs.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value, bottom feeders love them
*by R***R on December 3, 2025*

Haved ordered these several times. Good packaging and good price. Bottom feeders love them. I have had zero issues using this product.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pleco Says “Yes, Please!”
*by G***K on February 12, 2025*

This review is for Tetra PRO PlecoWafers 2.12 Ounces, Nutritionally Balanced Vegetarian Fish Food, Concentrated Algae Center, Golds & Yellows, Model Number: 16447. My pleco is 7 years old and he is about 10-12 in. long and 3-4 in. wide. I drop two wafers into the tanks in the morning and evening and he seems to like them. However, I have never personally seen him eat any of them. It takes him a long time to finish two so maybe I need to cut down the number to one wafer per serving. I don’t have any other creatures in the tank with him and I do occasionally see one disc just sitting there waiting to be eaten. Perhaps he’s taking his time because he doesn’t have to fight with anyone else for his food? I like that they don’t cloud up my tank or dissolve too quickly to then get sucked into the filtration system. It’s also so much easier to take a wafer or two and drop them into the tank versus shaking flakes or pellets which often leads to too much falling into the water at one time and then gets sucked into the filter. Overall, my pleco seems to like the wafers so I’d say it’s a win. I’d give these a 5.0/5.0 - 02/12/2025. 03/19/2025: My pleco loves these so much that I got 4 more bags. This time I went with 5.29oz because 2.12oz was ridiculously small and my pleco definitely can eat 2-3 of the wafers per meal. The smaller bag barely lasted one month (2-3 per meal/2x a day). The only thing that I noticed is my water needs more frequent changing ever since I got these wafers and my pleco leaves long trailing poop all over the tank. Still worth it because he, or maybe she, is very happy! Highly recommended.
