Product information
Everything you need to know
Hikari Algae Wafers 20g is a premium sinking food specially formulated to meet the nutritional needs of herbivorous and algae-grazing freshwater fish. Developed through Hikari's world-renowned aquatic nutrition research, this complete daily diet combines high-quality vegetable ingredients, spirulina algae, vitamins, and minerals to promote healthy growth, natural colour enhancement, and long-term vitality.
Designed for natural feeding behaviour, Hikari Algae Wafers 20g sinks rapidly to the bottom of the aquarium where plecos, bristlenose catfish, otocinclus, loaches, shrimp, and snails naturally forage. The durable wafer maintains its shape underwater, giving slower-feeding fish ample time to graze while helping reduce waste and maintain cleaner aquarium water.
Rich in nutrient-dense spirulina algae and plant-based ingredients, this highly digestible formula provides the fibre and nutrition herbivorous species require for healthy digestion, strong immune function, and vibrant colouration. By reducing uneaten food and improving nutrient absorption, it also contributes to improved water quality and a healthier aquarium ecosystem.
The compact 20g pack is an excellent choice for nano aquariums, betta tanks with algae-eating companions, shrimp aquariums, or hobbyists wanting a smaller pack to maintain maximum food freshness.
Whether you're caring for a single bristlenose pleco or maintaining a thriving planted aquarium with shrimp and snails, Hikari Algae Wafers 20g delivers premium nutrition trusted by aquarists around the world.
