Yes, we named our common pleco “wafer boy”. He loves these wafers, and the Corydora catfish eat them too. Great value vs buying in store.

My two little Plecos love these! Even my gluttonous goldfish like them too lol. Anything they don’t finish, my snails eat. So it doesn’t seem messy, but I also do regular water changes to cut down on any excess debris or spike in ammonia/nitrite levels. They don’t smell terrible or great but it IS fish food so I’m not sure what people expect. I definitely recommend and will be purchasing again!

I'm accustomed to fish food coming with an aluminum seal firmly attached to the top of the canister when new. These arrived with no aluminum seal to be found, the cap had popped off during shipping, and I had a box full of algae wafers rattling around. I'm really not sure what to think about that. If anyone could confirm whether or not they should have any aluminum seal when new, I'd appreciate it.

I have 2 glow danios, 2 black skirt tetras, 2 shrimp, and one snail (until I noticed 2 tiny snails that must have hitched a ride into my tank - they live there, too, now).I had a terrible problem with hair algae which I found was due to my leaving the tank light on too long. After greatly reducing the time the light is on - all of the algae disappeared, and I began to fear for my snails' health.I read a million reviews on algae for bottom feeders (well, it felt that way) and could not decide which one to buy. I am so glad I got these! So many of the reviews on all of them said they would foul the tank - but I have not experienced that. I put 1 wafer in the tank every 3 days and they disappear in 2. I figure there is still stuff for the bottom feeders to get for the 3rd day and my tank stays clear. Everyone looks healthy and happy - problem solved!

Happy to have located API brand algae eater wafers which we’d previously purchased & broken into quarters to feed 3 silver dollars we’d had for more than 10 years, and which were larger than the palm of my hand. Our silver dollars would occasionally eat large flakes of those dropped for the community of fish, but mainly ate these wafers. They would scoop up a chunk, sometimes dropping and quickly catching it again, jealously guarding the prize until consuming it. When unable to locate them in our local pet stores we tried another brand which we found to be too hard to break, and not being eaten by our silver dollars. Fortunately, these great API wafers were available on Amazon.LAGNIAPPE: We relocated to a new home approximately 3 ½ years ago and moved our 90-gallon tank of community fish in 5-gallon buckets with holes punched in the tops and air pumps, set up our new 75 gal. aquarium (same footprint; lower height) and later transferred fish. None died, and 2 of the huge silver dollars adjusted well after transfer. The third would occasionally have random panic attacks. After about 2 years he died and the 2 remaining silver dollars swam together as pals.The silver dollars were able to distinguish me from my larger husband. He usually fed them, and on the fewer occasions that I slowly came by the tank and dropped wafer parts, they would panic and rush away to hide. This occurred consistently, so these silver dollars definitely differentiated between my us. My husband takes really good care of the tank, doing partial water changes almost every week. We have artificial plants, wood, and rocks which are he regularly cleans in a hydrogen peroxide and water solution, dries in the sun on the back patio, and then returns to the tank. We even purchased a new hood and lights that can be set many ways, but which we set to mimic a natural fish environment, gradually lighting in the morning and gradually diming to dark in the evening. Nothing too good for our huge silver dollars.Over the years a newly introduced fish would occasionally die, but never did one compromise our whole tank. Then a terrible thing happened. We purchased pretty silver dollars a little larger than the tiny ones usually available in the pet store. They could gradually grow and help our 2 silver dollars should one of the older 2 die. The pet store tanks looked clean. We considered going home to set up a temporary nursery tank (which we’d never before done) and then moving the new fish a week or so later to our large tank,but were afraid someone would purchase the larger of the available silver dollars. Terrible, terrible decision! A single day after putting the 2 new silver dollars in our tank we saw ich-also referred to as ick (Ichthyophthirius Multifiliis) on one of them and immediately got medicine to treat the tank. Because of concern for our huge silver dollars we chose a medicine that didn’t require changing the water temperature. The next day one of our original silver dollars was covered with ich-- and then came the domino death effect. We did a second treatment but lost both original silver dollars and numerous other community fish, some that had been in our tank for at least 5 years, with deaths occurring daily, some with no signs of ich, so possibly occurring from the actual medical treatment. More than 35 continuous years of aquarium set ups (first a 29 gallon, then two 29 gallons, then 30 years of the 90-gallon, and later this 75 gallon) and never had we had “original” fish die (much less more than half the aquarium) after introducing a couple of healthy-looking fish.We used to sit in a recliner in the corner of the room and watch our silver dollars and smaller fish, and the silver dollars would come to the glass and watch us. Such a sad end to what we so wrongly had thought to be a reasonable decision. Silly, but I could cry thinking about those 2 old silver dollars. Sometimes a fish is not just a fish.
