Packed with natural green algae and spirulina, these wafers sink quickly and maintain their shape to prevent water clouding. Suitable for all life stages, they promote healthy growth, vibrant coloration, and immune support, making them a must-have staple for any thriving freshwater or tropical aquarium. ## Description Product Description Hikari algae wafers have been formulated to promote proper growth and form in most herbivorous species. Contains high levels of vegetable matter and select algae that plecostomus and other algae eaters prefer. The unique design of the algae disc sinks rapidly and retain its shape. Feeding Suggestion Feed as mush as your fish can consume within 2 hours. Many bottom feeders are nocturnal, for best results feed late in the day or at night. Remove any uneaten food after feeding period. Some tropical fish resist a new type of food when changing their diet, continued use will ensure acceptance. Algae wafers can be broken into smaller pieces, if desired, for feeding other algae eating tropical or marine fish. Indications All Life Stages, Vegetarian Ingredients Fish meal, wheat flour, corn flakes, wheat germ flour, spirulina, krill, alfalfa dehydrated meal, dry yeast beer Directions Store the product in a cool, dry place. Box Contains Food Review: Feeding frenzy!! - I got these for my corydoras, but my shrimp absolutely love them. They'll come out their hiding places and nab them lol. Obviously you don't put a whole one in unless you've got a huge pleco etc. I break a couple of tiny pieces off and plonk them in. The trouble is, all my other fish like them too! So if you've got other fish such as platys or gouramis, there will be a feeding frenzy! I tend to feed my other fish first before my corys and shrimp. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't. But can safely say your fish will love them! My cat even got hold of one and enjoyed it!
