## Overview

Hikari Algae Wafers are a scientifically formulated, nutrient-rich food designed specifically for algae-eating bottom feeders like Plecostomus. Featuring high vegetable content, pure cultured spirulina, and stabilized vitamin C, these wafers promote fish health, immunity, and vibrant color without dissolving or clouding aquarium water. Trusted worldwide since 1991, they remain the gold standard in algae wafers.

## Description

Product Description Algae Wafers were specifically developed for the hard to feed Plecostomus and other algae eating bottom feeders. 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.

Review: Five Stars - Great value, same product as in the tiny packs from aquarist stores. Will buy more when needed
Review: A Captivating Delicacy - The Hikari Algae Wafers for fish is an extraordinary selection of food. The wafers contain high levels of vegetable matter such as seaweed, alfalfa, soybean, spirulina, garlic, and chlorella. In addition to the vegetables, it is also reinforced with an ample amount of vitamins. One of the vitamins that can be found in the wafers is vitamin C; which aids in the reduction of stress and builds immunity to counter disease, illness, and containment. Hikari claims the algae disk is made just for plecos; however, the wafer is ideal for any bottom feeder or even fish. Some important things to note are; the Algae Wafers will not cloud water or is dissolvable by water. The size of the Algae wafers is dime-sized. Do not freeze these wafters, instead, simply place the wafers in an airtight container or put them inside a ziplock bag to keep them fresh. If they become stale, the fish will no longer eat the product and it also compromises the ingredients and vitamins. In conclusion, I highly recommend purchasing these wafers since they contain a punch of vitamins and minerals while being nutritious at the same time. I have been using Hikari Algae wafers for over 10-years and no other brand comes close in my opinion. If you have multiple fishes in your aquarium then I would recommend breaking up the wafer into multiple pieces and dropping them at different locations throughout the tank so the fish won't fight over them. Just be cautious that since these wafers contain Algae they tend to aid in the growth of algae on the aquarium glass. However, please don't let this deter you from buying these wafers.
