Review: good quality - Good ingredients! My bottom eaters and the mystery snails go nuts over these wafers. There is no orders or waste with wafers and the size is good.
Review: The bottom feeders love these algae wafers - The bottom feeders love these algae wafers. We only put one a day in the tank so the water doesn't get cloudy because it takes them awhile to eat just one wafer. We installed an automatic battery operated feeder that drops food flakes we bought through desertcart in the water so the wafer is an extra treat for them. They love these wafers. Before buying these wafers, we watched a couple of videos on You Tube showing that other fish prized the wafer as well, not just the bottom feeders. It was fun to watch how they would swim up to the wafer and try it and swim away and keep returning for another bite. One fish wouldn't let go of it no matter what, even when the other fish bumped into him. Our further research on google showed this to be made of spirulina which is very healthy apparently and there are even spirulina supplements for people. We read alot of desertcart reviews on different brands of algae wafers and opted for this one as it seemed to have more pure ingredients and less fillers and was the original formula, copied by others. The wafer sinks to the bottom right away, unlike the last brand we used which had to be saturated enough to finally sink and that took awhile. We soaked it in a cup of water awhile to get it saturated enough to sink or tried to pitch it down into the tank water in such a way in hopes it would sink and that did work sometimes, but as long as it was floating around on top of the water, the fish would not eat it. It only takes a couple of minutes for them to find this one because it sinks right away. Our bottom feeders had 6 babies recently and when the babies find it, sometimes they all pile up on the wafer at one time, like it was the best thing ever or they peck and go and return. One swims back and forth in front of the tank we think in anticipation of getting another wafer when we come to the tank? We are very happy with our purchase and it is a good size bag, so it should last awhile. Glad we found this.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Neo Shrimp love these things. $15 for ~9 ounces isn’t a bad deal
*by M***. on March 3, 2026*

Great food. Smells just a pet store. Definitely reminds me of other Hikari products too. I’ll he looking for better larger supply. I have two tanks and this’ll last me maybe 60 to 90 days depending on variety of other food. I would say this is A-tier food for my setup.
