Hikari Algae Wafers for Plecostomus and other algae-eating bottom feeders.

Hikari Algae Wafers are the world's original and number-one-selling commercial diet developed specifically for Plecostomus and other algae-eating bottom feeders.

Key Features

Shape Retention: The revolutionary hard disc shape sinks rapidly and resists quick dissolution. This allows passive or less aggressive bottom dwellers to graze slowly over a 2-hour period without the food dissolving or clouding the aquarium water.

Nutritional Blend: Formulated with high-grade marine and vegetable proteins, stabilized Vitamin C to bolster the immune system, and pure-cultured Spirulina and Chlorella algae to enhance fish coloration.

Versatility: While designed primarily for freshwater plecos, they are excellent for freshwater snails, shrimp, crabs, and marine herbivorous fish.

Feeding Best Practices

Timing: Because many bottom feeders are nocturnal, it is best to drop the wafers into the aquarium late in the day or after turning off the tank lights.

Portioning: Feed no more than the amount your aquatic pets will entirely consume within two hours, and always remove any leftovers to prevent water quality decline.
