Sera Wels-Chips Nature is a premium staple food in chip form designed for rasping and bottom-dwelling fish such as ancistrus and L-catfish. These rapidly sinking chips become soft in water while remaining dimensionally stable for up to 24 hours, allowing primarily nocturnal catfish to feed slowly and naturally. The balanced formula contains valuable fibres from willow bark and alder cones, supporting healthy digestion, natural development, and species-appropriate behavior.
