Zoo Med Pleco Banquet® Block

Overview
Zoo Med’s Pleco Banquet® Blocks are specially formulated to meet the natural dietary needs of sucker-mouth catfish species (plecos). Enriched with spirulina algae, cellulose (wood fiber), and protein-rich plankton morsels, these blocks replicate the foods plecos consume in the wild. They also help promote long-term health while providing a time-release feeding option that reduces stress during travel or busy schedules. Now available in a convenient Mini Block for small and baby plecos.
