Hikari Algae Wafers

The go-to wafer for plecos and algae eaters. Hikari Algae Wafers were developed specifically for the hard-to-feed plecostomus and other algae-eating bottom feeders. Loaded with pure-cultured spirulina and chlorella, the fast-sinking wafers stay firm as your fish rasp away, so they will not cloud your water. Rich plant nutrition brings out natural coloration and supports long-term health. For smaller grazers and shrimp, try the Mini Algae Wafers.
