Algae wafer suggestions?

[Tropical Tony]

Hi guys, I’m looking on getting some algae wafers for my bottom feeders and was just curious as to what people are using and if you could recommend any?

cheers,

Depends on what type of bottom feeder but I keep bristlenose and both the Omega one and Hikari algae wafers work well.

I have a l128 pleco, and some different types of corys. I was thinking about Hikari ones but have heard mixed reviews on them.

For my corydoras I feed Sera Spirulina tabs and aquatic arts bottom feeder pellets. I also have hikari algae wafers. I found out they really go after the tabs when I went to feed my guppys.

I tried Tetra Cory Waffers but my cory seem to like Wardley shrimp pellets better

Like some people have reported their fish dying after feeding them haha. I’m guessing it’s an over reaction haha.

One thing I noticed (and why I don't feed with them as often) is that Hikari wafers will cloud the water more than my preferred Sera brand. I still feed them to offer variety though.

Sounds like a seriously questionable review lol

I think they prefer the omega one but they seem to eat them both just as vigorously

If is is for real, it sounds more like people leaving uneaten food in the tank which could cause an ammonia spike.

I use Tetra algae wafers - my BNP loves them.
