I make sure that my fish have a good variety of
different food. I certainly give them
flakes, but also make a point of giving them food in other forms. One of the many forms that fish food is
available is algae wafers.

Algae Wafers
There are many different companies that make algae
wafers or similar algae products. I have
tried quite a few. All of them are worth
using, but the one I have found to be the best is the Hikari©
brand. This is the one our fish seem to
prefer, and is also the one most popular with our customers. Our customers include fish breeders. This is not the cheapest brand of algae
wafers, but is certainly a very good one.
It is designed for algae eating fish and others that
need plenty of vegetable matter in their diet.
However, when I put one in any
of our aquariums practically all the different types of fish attack the wafer.
Fish like the half beak might not eat it because they
very rarely go far from the surface, but off hand I cannot remember any other of
our many types of fish that do not eat them.
Ingredients
Most of the ingredients are similar to those in most
fish food, like fish meal and wheat flour, but there is a higher proportion of
vegetable food including Spirulina algae.
Sizes
This product comes in several different sized packets
up to the 1 Kilogram breeder’s bag.
