API Algae Eater Wafers Fish Food – 37g

API Algae Eater Wafers Fish Food is made for algae-eating fish and combines a rich mix of algae with omega 3 fatty acids to support healthy growth and development. Alfalfa adds fibre for good digestion, and a nutritionally enhanced protein helps fish absorb nutrients easily. Because more of each wafer is used, API states that fish release up to 30% less ammonia than with the leading competing food, which helps keep the water cleaner and clearer.

Feeding guide

Feed twice a day. Algae eaters graze slowly, so give an amount they will finish within two hours rather than the few minutes used for other fish.

Who they suit and pack sizes

The wafers sink straight to the bottom, where plecos, otocinclus, bristlenose catfish and other grazing bottom dwellers feed, so they reach fish that rarely get a share of floating flakes. Many of these fish are most active after dark, so dropping a wafer in shortly before the lights go out helps make sure it reaches them rather than faster mid-water fish. The 37g pack suits a single small tank, while the 105g and 181g sizes are better value for larger aquariums or several algae eaters.

Good to know

Remove any wafer remains still uneaten after a few hours so they do not soften and cloud the water.
