Catfish and especially Plecos need a different diet. Cellulose is a part of that diet in the wild as they feed off the roots and branches of dead and live trees and shrubs. To provide those nutrients in an aquarium we added cellulose in the form of Stinging Nettle. Just enough to provide what is needed. We also made the wafer hard and with some weight to encourage the natural scraping habits found in the wild. As these fish are nocturnal, most of the feeding is at night, so this pellet will hold up for hours in the tank and will not foul the water.
We use Green Pea as our primary protein and add fish, herring, kelp, shrimp and spirulina to round out the diet. And, over the years users report that this formula is a favorite of lots of other fish. So, you should try it in a tank with some finicky eaters.

A few tank pics of my 90 gal. I've been in the hobby for more than 60 years. Scrapers were recommended to me by a plecto breeder. I feed my fish a wide variety of foods and Scrapers are my favorite for my bottom feeders..8+ plectos, catfish, and my clown loaches...some of which are more than 25 years old. A great product and staple for my tanks!
Received my order today just in time. I fed the last of my Extreme Scrapers wafers yesterday. Would have had a fish room mutiny on my hands. Not only do my corys and plecos love these, all my fish and snails pick at them. A very versatile food for community aquariums.
All of my Cory's Mollies and platy's love it
They all love these wafers, even the fish.
Love this brand and got this for my Cory’s snails and loaches. Great service great price and quantity. My Cory’s are chonkers and I have healthy snails in fact a bit too many of the ramshorn snails! I do love them and all my bottom dwellers tho so I wanted to make sure they had a variety of good foods! Can’t go wrong with xtreme!
My Medusa pleco loves them when he gets a chance to eat them when my peas and haps don’t steal them lol! They love them too
His name is Sir sucks a lot and he loves the algae wafers so do the mollies LOL
My fish love the Xtreme line.
I bought these hoping that my snail would like them. Not only my snails love them but so do every other fish in all of my tanks. They are a treat for everyone. Picture showing One of my snails (Jerry) enjoying a pellet with his guppy buddies trying to steal a bite.
My Cory cats and plecos love it
The Cory’s and cats plecos like it
I really love ordering from KGTropicals. They have good pricing, quick shipping, and quality products. My Cory's love the Xtreme wafers. I am and will continue to be a repeat customer. Thank you John and Lisa!!
Good price and high quality food.
My Fish love it.
I make a mistake in the past, more than once. I try another brands. I ready used in the past, and is excellent… I don’t know way I use anything else
All of my bottom feeders love these wafers. KGTropicals once again came through with what I needed and in short time. Thank you very much! I will definitely be buying from you again!
Great experience. Fast shipping a good price and safely handling.
The fish love it!
I use these as weekend feeders for my Mollys and Glo fish. I've tried the other "weekend feeders" and my fish don't eat them. So with these scrapers, I throw a few in right before I leave and they nibble on them the whole time. I'll also break them into to fours as a special treat sometimes.
These are fed to our bottom dwellers most of the time. Our Cory's love them.
My Corydoras favorite food. My shrimp love this too.
Do you want to see your cory cats and plecos go mad with desire? Chuck some of these in your tank. Uoull thank me later.

Love Extreme Algae wafers for my plecos. They love them and Extreme is a great brand
Xtreme doesn't disappoint! My bristlenose plecos and my cory cats love the Xtreme Scrapers. My kribensis and some of my tropical fish like to nibble on them too. Tempted to try the Mbuna tank or maybe the fancy goldfish tank? Hmm Thanks again for the great customer service!
My plecos and Cory's loved it but my Acara kept trying to steal them lol.
My bristlenose plecos go crazy for these!
My little bottom feeding fish friends Love these wafers ! They attack these things when I feed them . Great Product !
Great product. Really like the container also.
My fish seem to enjoy it. There is never anything left! My Otocinclus, corydoras, bristlenose pleco, fancy goldfish and mystery snails all love to feed on these. I will always have some on hand.
My bottom feeders and my guppies love these things. They can't eat them fast enough. One day my pleco picked one up and swam around the tank with it in his mouth. I've never seen a pleco do that!
My severum goes crazy for this food. Love it
Pleco and corys love this food.
