Can these Algae Eater wafers cause a algae bloom in an aquarium? I ask because using these wafers, my 75 gal. tropical aquarium had a huge algae bloom after dropping these wafers in it. after a few days.

The Algae Eater Food is not known to create algae blooms but if any uneaten food remains at the bottom it could create algae.

Bottom feeders like them

I did find a better kind than these my otos will eat but these work for my snails, shrimp, Gara, and cories.

Came in on time, and now I can feed my fishy xD Hopefully this will last for a little while until I can buy a bigger bottle.

Sinks right down

I was using crumbled food for my pleco's but it would float and the cichlids would eat most of it. These wafers sink right to the bottom so the pleco's get a shot at them too

Good food for bottom feeders

This is a quality food that my catfish and other bottom feeders love. It doesn’t cloud the water and I am very happy with this fish food.

2.5 Oz is TINY PELLETS

The 2.5 Oz. Container had TINY pellets (think betta sized food) NOT LARGE! Waste of money!

Much better

The tabs I have been using for a long time always clouded the water for several hours after feeding. API wafers don't do that and the fish love them. The two Plecos I have are several years old now and they are thriving on these wafers.

my pleco does good finding it

My pleco windex is pretty decent at finding it, he isn’t the type to stay on the ground but once he finds it he’s good, hopefully he is finding it in time, I feel like other fish eat it and he isn’t eating.., but I hope he is doing okay, he’s been with me for over a year so….

Plecos and Chinese algae eaters like these

My long-fin chocolate plecos spawned and the fry were having trouble finding food, but not with these wafers. The moment I drop them in the tank the young plecos are on them. Same is true of the adult plecos and my Chinese algae eaters.

Wonderful always buy

I have 4 aquariums and my algae eaters range from an inch to 14 inches long and I don’t have much algae grow ever so I use this just adding 3 of these every few days keeps my fellas happy! You want to put them in at night time when these guys like to be active or the other fishes eat them up before my big guys get to them!
