Are Algae Wafers Bad For Non Algae Eating Fish?

[marieukxx]

I got them for my snails and my fish go crazy for them. They peck at them till they're all gone. Is this bad for them?

Lot's of fish like em and it will do them no harm. If I wanted to see that snails weren't shortchanged,,I might offer them after dark while other fishes are resting and maybe won't be able to see them so well.

Thanks I've tried doing it late at night when they're all resting but still no joy. They eat them up

I think it's probably healthy for them - especially if they are omnivoures - they need some veggies in their diet - not just meats. They know what they need and it certainly won't hurt them.

Agree. They are actually healthy for them.

It's not bad for them at all....BUT read the label as a lot of algae wafers are mostly fish meal (of questionable quality) and grain starch. There are good ones, but I've seen many with pretty iffy ingredients.
