Hikari Algae Wafers 1.41 oz
Hikari Algae Wafers are premium sinking wafers specially developed for plecos and other herbivorous bottom-feeding aquarium fish. This nutrient-rich formula includes spirulina algae to support color, health, and daily nutrition while encouraging natural grazing behavior along the bottom of the aquarium.
The convenient 1.41 oz bag is a great size for small tanks, nano aquariums, or hobbyists who want to keep food fresh for a smaller group of bottom feeders. These fast-sinking wafers are designed to hold their shape underwater, allowing fish, shrimp, and snails time to graze without quickly breaking apart and clouding the water.
