These micro granules are milled fine enough for a fry to actually swallow, and soften quickly in water so they are easy to digest. They are slowly sinking, which matters because fry mostly hang in the middle water zone rather than at the surface or on the substrate. Food that drifts down gradually stays in front of them for longer instead of being gone in seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFry have tiny stomachs and grow fast, so feed small amounts several times a day rather than one large meal. That habit is also the risk: in a small grow out tank uneaten food rots quickly and drives ammonia, which fry tolerate far worse than adults do.

These wafers are made to sink fast and go straight past the mid water crowd to the fish that need them. Just as importantly they hold their shape once they land, so instead of dissolving into a cloud that fouls the water, a wafer sits intact on the gravel while a slow feeding cory works its way around it.
