Intan Ornamental Fish Wafers – BIG

Slow‑sinking wafers designed as a balanced community feed for a variety of ornamental freshwater fish

1. What It Is

Intan Ornamental Fish Wafers (Big) are sinking/slow‑sinking wafers formulated to feed a broad range of community aquarium fish. They are meant to provide a balanced, nutritious diet — combining protein source (from krill or other marine/animal meals) + plant/vegetable ingredients + vitamins/minerals — suitable for many types of fish in a community tank.

2. Who It’s For — Suitable Fish Types

These wafers work well for many common aquarium fish species, including:

• Community fish: tetras, barbs, rainbows, danios, etc.

• Mid‑level and surface dwellers: gouramis, angels, other community cichlids

• Goldfish and similar ornamental fish (though watch water temperature and feeding amounts)

• Mixed community aquariums with varied fish species

Essentially, if you maintain a community tank of small to medium‑size ornamental fish, these wafers can function as a staple diet.

• Algae & other aquatic plant extracts

• Additives: carotenoids / natural color enhancers (e.g. Astaxanthin, Marigold extracts) for colour enhancement and pigment support Intan Growel+1

• Vitamins, minerals, digestive aid compounds (some versions mention “Thymol” for digestion & health support) Intan Growel+1

4. Key Benefits / What It Does Well

• Balanced nutrition — combines protein, plant nutrients, vitamins, minerals; makes it suitable as a staple diet for community fish.

• Color enhancement — thanks to natural pigments such as carotenoids/astaxanthin + marigold extracts, these wafers help enhance natural colours of ornamental fish. Intan Growel+1

• Versatile for many species — works well for community tanks with mixed fish (surface, mid-water, and some bottom feeders).

• Good for general health and growth — protein + vegetable mix helps maintain proper growth, vitality, and general well-being.

• Digestible & well‑rounded diet — inclusion of vegetables + balanced meal reduces risk of overfeeding protein and helps digestion.

5. Feeding Guidelines & Best Practices

• Feed about twice daily, offering only what fish can consume in about 5 minutes (or what they finish quickly). Intan Growel+1

• Avoid overfeeding — uneaten wafers should be removed after feeding to prevent water pollution.

• For community tanks — feed in small amounts, possibly in several spots so all fish species get access.

• Rotate diet occasionally: although wafers are balanced, including variety (vegetables, live/frozen foods, flakes/pellets) can improve overall health and nutrition.

6. Expected Benefits and Results

With regular feeding of Intan Ornamental Fish Wafers (Big), you can expect:

• Healthy, steady growth for community fish

• Improved vibrancy and richness of fish colours over a few weeks (especially when fish are healthy and well‑maintained)

• Stable general health and vitality (thanks to balanced nutrients)

• Lower risk of nutritional deficiencies common in single‑type diets

7. Limitations / What They May Not Do Well

• Not specialized for bottom‑dwelling herbivores (such as algae‑eaters or plecos) — those species often need vegetable‑heavy or algae‑based diets.

• May not fulfil nutritional requirements of very specialized fish (e.g. strict herbivores, carnivores, or species requiring a very specific diet).

• Overfeeding or leaving uneaten wafers may lead to water quality issues — requires responsible feeding and tank maintenance.

8. When to Choose These Wafers

Use Intan Ornamental Fish Wafers (Big) when you have:

• A mixed community aquarium with a variety of small-to-medium ornamental fish.

• Fish whose diet can benefit from a balanced protein + vegetable + nutrient mix.

• Want a daily staple food that supports health, colour, and general vitality without complex supplementation.

• Want convenience — one feed source for multiple species, easier feeding schedule.
