Hikari Tropical Mini Algae Wafers Fish Food, 3.0 oz (85g)

I bought these with our otocinclus algae eaters in mind. Well, our guppies love these wafers and they tend to get most of the food. (This is ok because I also put fresh zucchini in the tank.) Our guppies will swarm around the wafers which is really fun to watch. As for the otocinclus, I put a wafer in an ornamental cave and they get a chance to get some of the food as well. I'm pretty amazed by how much or fish really love this stuff. I shouldn't be surprised though... Hikari is synonymous with quality.- The algae wafers contain "bakery products." I wanted to know exactly what the bakery products are, so I e-mailed Hikari about this. They wrote back and said the following: "This is a proprietary ingredient that we have identified as containing higher levels of lipids that fish can readily utilize and also offers an efficient carbohydrate component."Below are some more specifics about the content of this food:INGREDIENTS:Fish meal, wheat flour, wheat germ meal, starch, dried seaweed meal, dried bakery product, dehydrated alfalfa meal, alfalfa nutrient concentrate dehydrated, brewers dried yeast, soybean meal, fish oil, krill meal, spirulina, garlic, DL-methionine, chlorella, astaxanthin, choline chloride, vitamin E supplement, L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (stabilized vitamin C), inositol, calcium pantothenate, riboflavin, vitamin A oil, thiamine mononitrate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, niacin, menadione sodium bisulfate complex (source of vitamin K), folic acid, vitamin D3 supplement, biotin, disodium phosphate, ferrous sulfate, magnesium sulfate, zinc sulfate, manganese sulfate, cobalt sulfate, calcium iodateGUARANTEED ANALYSISCrude Protein - 33%Crude Fat - 4.0%Crude Fiber - 3.0%Moisture - Max 10%Crude Ash - Max 17%Phosphorus - Min 0.8%

These are very small and my shrimp absolutely love them. The size is a little awkward though because one is just big enough for one or two shrimp, but no one taught my shrimp how to share so I have to break it into even smaller pieces so they can all get some. I would probably buy a bigger size next time, but these work perfectly regardless.No mess, sinks immediately, and my shrimp go crazy for them.

I have been keeping fish for over 25 years and these Hikari products are the best. My fish love them. They are full of the nutrition fish need to grow and thrive and apparently taste good to them. As soon as I feed them they are all over them. They come in a resealable pouch for ease of use and functionality. They have no smell and do not cloud the water. They are a great value for the money and I know my fish are getting exactly what they need ! I recommend this product for your fish along with other Hikari products. Always read and follw directions.

These are high quality and eaten readily by my fish.

Been using these for years now! Unless I find a need for bigger wafers, these are a go-to for any shrimp keeper or other algae scavengers.Remember they will float around and possibly land in a less than desired location for your intended crew, so it’s recommended to either drop near your background plants or at night when your lights go off to be sure your nocturnal wet pets get to them before everyone else!

Best. My BM Plecos have been THRIVING for yrs on these. They sink immediately right in the spot where I want them to go and they do not cloud up the water at all and mess with my parameters.

Bought the mini wafers for our paludarium. Our 3 nano shrimp and hillstream reticulated loach began devouring after it softened up within an hour! They definitely have a preference for the algae wafers than the biofilm that grows. Would remove within a few hours otherwise if you have a current, it begins flowing around.

Have purchased before. Always quick shipping.
