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 especially well suited to 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, Morning Wood helps support healthy digestion, colouration and natural scraping behaviour. It reflects the feeding habits of wood-grazing plecos in the wild while helping to maintain 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 spread onto rocks or décor to create natural grazing stations for plecos and other grazing species.
