Hiker was the originator of this diet, now copied by many. Accept no substitutes, request the first and finest, Algae Wafers. In 1991 when we launched Hiker Tropical Algae Wafers, no other food existed to help keep Plecostomus healthy. There were many reports of Plecostomus getting thinner with each passing day. To address this problem, Hiker began researching raw materials and production techniques to develop potential diets. After considerable experimentation, we developed the best ingredient formulation possible. Next we had to develop a pellet the fish would eat, one that wouldn't dissolve in water and allowed the nutrition to be accessed readily. The revolutionary disk shape was chosen because it complimented the way Plecostomus eat. Of course over the years our Hiker Tropical Algae Wafers have saved many places and become a sales leader worldwide. Today, there are many copies, but the fish that count know nothing is better and its their opinion that's important to Hiker. Indications Algae Eating Fish, Plecostomus Ingredients Fish Meal, Wheat Flour, Flaked Corn, Wheat Germ Meal, Spirulina, Krill Meal, Dehydrated Alfalfa Meal, Brewers Dried Yeast Directions Feed no more than the amount your fish will completely consume within 2 hours. Many bottom feeders are nocturnal, for best results feed late in the day or at night. Care should be taken to avoid over-feeding and always remove uneaten food after feeding period.
