✅ Level: Easy — Daily staple food for herbivorous bottom-dwellers. No special equipment needed.
Hikari Algae Wafers are the world's best-selling food for algae eaters. The improved formula contains even more plant-based ingredients, including algae such as spirulina and chlorella — for optimal nutrition that closely matches the natural diet of herbivorous bottom-dwellers like ancistrus, plecos, and other algae eaters. The large wafer shape sinks quickly to the bottom and remains intact for a long time, giving slow eaters and nocturnal fish enough time to feed peacefully.

✂️ Usage tips
Feed 1-2 wafers per 2-3 fish daily. The wafers sink quickly and remain intact for a long time — ideal for nocturnal fish that only become active in the evening. Preferably feed in the evening just before turning off the light.
💡 Tip
Do you have smaller algae eaters like otocinclus? Then choose Hikari Mini Algae Wafers — the same formula in a smaller wafer shape that better fits their mouth.
❓ Frequently asked questions
