Dymax Algae Wafers Supreme Fish Food, 1.2 kg Bulk Bag

Bulk Sinking Disc Wafer for High-Volume Pleco and Algae-Eater Operations

The Dymax Algae Wafers Supreme (1.2kg) is the bulk format of the range, suited for fish stores feeding large display plecos and suckerfish daily, public aquariums with freshwater sections housing multiple large-bodied algae-eating species, and serious hobbyists running extensive pleco collections across many tanks simultaneously. The formula is unchanged from 60 g to 520 g: a sinking disc wafer built on cassava starch for shape retention, high spirulina and kelp content for plant-based herbivore nutrition, and 42% protein from fish meal, krill meal, and krill paste.

At 1.2kg, the per-gram cost is the lowest in the Algae Wafers Supreme range — approximately $0.038 per gram versus $0.115/g at the 60g trial size. For operations feeding multiple display tanks daily, that difference accumulates meaningfully over a full year of feeding. The 1.2kg is also the single largest container in the Algae Wafers Supreme range, which reduces restock frequency and the operational overhead of managing multiple smaller containers across many tanks at once.

Key Features:

• Bulk sinking disc wafer for high-volume pleco and algae-eater feeding programs
• Shape-retaining cassava starch disc — exclusive to this formula in the Dymax food range
• High spirulina and multiple algae sources (spirulina, kelp) for herbivore-appropriate plant nutrition
• 42% protein from fish meal, krill meal, krill paste, and soybean meal
• Fiber ≤5% appropriate for herbivore digestive health
• β-Glucan and Bacillus Subtilis prebiotic bacteria for immune and digestive support
• Garlic extract for palatability
• No astaxanthin — color from plant pigments in spirulina and kelp
• Lowest per-gram cost across all four Algae Wafers Supreme sizes
• 1.2kg / 42.3oz bulk format for commercial and high-volume operations

Ideal For:

• Fish stores with display tanks housing large common plecos, hypostomus, or other suckerfish that receive a nightly wafer feeding and require bulk pricing on a consistent supply
• Public aquariums and commercial freshwater facilities maintaining large-scale pleco or algae-eater populations that go through algae wafers at a volume making smaller containers impractical
• Serious pleco hobbyists running five or more freshwater tanks each with dedicated algae-eating fish who want the lowest per-gram cost and the fewest restock events per year

Pro Tips:

• Transfer immediately to a rigid airtight container on receipt. Whether the 1.2kg arrives as a flexible bag or rigid container, the scale means repeated openings over many months of daily feeding will expose the full supply to humidity each time. Decanting into a sealed rigid food-grade container at the start preserves the disc structure and prevents moisture from softening wafers before they reach the tank.
• Label with the opening date and establish a rotation protocol for commercial operations. Algae wafers absorb ambient moisture over time after a container is opened, gradually softening even before the fish get to them. Dating the container and following a first-in, first-fed protocol ensures the oldest portion is always used first.
• One disc per fish per feeding remains the baseline regardless of supply volume. The 1.2kg does not change the feeding protocol — it only extends the time between restocks. Overfeeding plecos with multiple discs per fish per night to "use up" a large supply generates substrate waste and degrades water quality faster than the prebiotic bacteria in the formula can manage.
