Hikari Algae Wafers

The disc-shaped algae diet that plecos and other rasping grazers are built to work at, sinking fast and staying intact while they feed.

Key features

• Sinks straight down and stays put, so it is still there when nocturnal plecos come out
• Vegetable and algae based rather than a general fish food, matching what herbivorous grazers need
• Firm disc that resists breaking apart, which keeps the water clearer than crumbling foods
• Simple to portion: drop one wafer, watch it get worked over, and lift out the remains if it is not finished

This is the full-size disc, best suited to adult plecos and larger algae eaters. Smaller grazers and busy community tanks do better with the mini version. Matched to the plecos on our list.
