2nd prize - from Rob's Aquariums

Sera Flora flakes 2KG Bucket - sera Flora is the herbal food consisting of carefully manufactured flakes for mainly herbivorous fish that eat at the water surface.

The selected ingredients rich in ballast substances, such as the high amount of Spirulina algae, support healthy digestion and liveliness.

Due to its balanced, easily digestible composition, the food is also particularly well suited for weakened fish that recover, e.g. from an intestinal disease. Since the shape retaining flakes float for a long time they are eaten entirely and do not pollute the water.
