The firm disc keeps its shape for hours rather than crumbling, so slow grazers can eat at their own pace.

Because plecos are mostly nocturnal, giving the wafer shortly before lights-out works best. Adult plecos can take a whole wafer, while juveniles do better with a broken half or quarter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAre algae wafers good for corydoras and loaches?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, corydoras and loaches readily accept sinking wafers because they feed on the bottom. Break the wafer into smaller pieces for small fish, and add a protein food during the week so the diet stays varied.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo the wafers sink or float?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey sink quickly.

Break a wafer into smaller pieces for baby plecos and watch that they actually eat it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow many algae wafers should I feed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe maker suggests about four wafers per feed for one fish, twice a day. In practice, start with one wafer per pleco and add more only if it is gone by the next morning. Remove uneaten pieces to protect water quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo algae wafers sink or float?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlgae wafers sink to the bottom, which is why they suit plecos, loaches and corydoras. Fish that feed at the surface, such as goldfish and bettas, are better served with a floating pellet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan shrimp eat these wafers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, algae-eating shrimp like Amano, cherry and ghost shrimp are listed as suitable, and shrimp enjoy grazing on a softened wafer. Feed a small piece, since shrimp need little and uneaten food spoils water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow is this different from the Hikari algae wafers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHikari Tropical Algae Wafers are a well-known Japanese wafer, while Life AAYU uses a zucchini and dandelion root recipe handmade in India.
