Repashy Morning Wood 170g – Meal Replacement Fish Food Gel for Wood-Eating Catfish and Plecos

Repashy Fish Food Morning Wood is a specialised high-fibre gel diet developed for wood-eating freshwater fish, including plecos, L-number plecos, suckermouth catfish, and other natural grazing species. Its super firm, long-lasting formula is ideal for fish that naturally rasp and graze on hard wood surfaces.

Made with quality plant meals and fibre-rich ingredients such as cellulose powder, dried seaweed meal, Alfalfa leaf meal, and Spirulina algae, Morning Wood supports healthy digestion, colouration, and natural scraping behaviour. It replicates the feeding habits of wood-grazing plecos in the wild while maintaining excellent water quality.

The premix is easy to prepare — simply add boiling water, mix, and allow it to set. Once cooled, the gel can be cut into cubes or strips for feeding. Before the gel sets, it can also be pasted onto rocks or décor to create natural grazing stations for plecos and other grazing species.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Which fish species is Repashy Morning Wood suitable for?

Repashy Morning Wood is designed for wood-grazing and rasping species such as L-number plecos, other wood-eating catfish, and similar grazing fish that like to suck and rasp on hard surfaces.

Is Repashy Morning Wood a complete staple diet?

Morning Wood is a super firm, high-fibre gel food formulated specifically for wood-grazing species. It is best used as a key part of their feeding regime alongside other suitable foods, rather than as the only diet offered.

How often should I feed Repashy Morning Wood?

You can offer Morning Wood several times per week or as part of a regular feeding rotation for wood-eating plecos and catfish. Feed portions your fish can consume within a few hours and remove any uneaten gel to maintain good water quality.

Can Repashy Morning Wood be made into a slow-release “jerky”?

Yes. After preparing the gel and cutting it into strips or cubes, you can dry it in a low-temperature oven or food dehydrator to make a firm, slow-release jerky that can be left in the aquarium for extended grazing.

How do I prepare Repashy Morning Wood gel food?

Mix 1 part Morning Wood powder with 2–3 parts boiling water, stir thoroughly, and allow it to set for about 30 minutes. Once firm, cut the gel into cubes or strips for feeding.
