Hikari Algae Wafers 40g

Hikari Algae Wafers 40g is a premium daily food developed specifically for herbivorous and algae-grazing freshwater fish. Backed by decades of Hikari's renowned aquatic nutrition research, these sinking wafers provide a complete and balanced diet packed with vegetable matter, spirulina algae, vitamins, and minerals to help your aquarium inhabitants thrive.

Unlike many standard algae wafers, Hikari Algae Wafers 40g is designed to sink quickly and retain its shape underwater. This allows bottom-dwelling fish to graze naturally while reducing waste and helping to maintain cleaner aquarium water. The highly digestible formula ensures maximum nutrient absorption while minimising excess waste that can affect water quality.

Rich in premium spirulina algae and plant-based ingredients, this food closely matches the natural diet of many herbivorous species. Regular feeding supports healthy growth, improved body condition, enhanced natural colouration, and a strong immune system, making it an excellent everyday diet for algae eaters and bottom feeders.

The compact 40g pack is perfect for nano aquariums, smaller community tanks, shrimp aquariums, or hobbyists who prefer purchasing smaller quantities to keep fish food at peak freshness.
