For almost 140 years we've spent considerable time exploring natural habitats of fish, breeding fish in our own facilities, producing diets in our own factories, processing every shipment through our own facilities and researching the impact our diets have over time. These unique insights into the nutritional needs of fish give a competitive advantage no other fish food maker can duplicate and allow us to produce species specific diets that will not only maintain your aquatic pets' health, but assist you in keeping your aquarium or pond in top form. We make the health and longevity of the fish and the aquatic environment they live in our first priority. Focusing on bringing about success to the hobbyist through exacting nutrition has allowed us to develop a brand name synonymous with superior quality. Consider using Hikari, because you love your aquatic pets as much as they love you! Why Customers Choose Hikari RESEARCH We feel it's our duty to constantly investigate the natural ecology of fish to make the best food for them. Our exploration to Irian Jaya, Lake Malawi in Africa, Guiana highland, the Indian Ocean, the jungle of Southeast Asia and the Holy River Ayeyawady and others, offer us many secrets to fish health, coloration, breeding requirements, water conditions and quality. SPECIES SPECIFIC DIETS Hikari offers a wide variety of diets for different species of fish, each offering unique characteristics which enable it to be readily accepted by the specific fish it was developed for, which is where Species Specific originated. This attention to detail allows you to be confident your choice will be quickly devoured by even the most finicky eaters. TECHNOLOGY Our first hand experience breeding and raising fish, and the scientific data we can collect during this process, give us a clear road map for future product improvements and enhancements. Hikari uses actual experience and physical practice instead of marketing schemes or unproven theory to develop our premium aquatic diets! PLECOS LOVE ALGAE WAFERS Plecostomus can lose body mass over time when not fed properly. Most people think they can survive eating the algae in the aquarium exclusively, this couldn’t be farther from the truth. They require a nutrient mix that is high in vegetable ingredients, but also require specific amino acids, vitamins and minerals. For this reason, even if you chose to feed fresh vegetables, be sure a formulated diet, like Hikari Algae Wafers, is part of your offering. They also love to scrape their food from surfaces, like driftwood. For this reason our pellet is a disc shape which allows them to feed more instinctually. Feeding Guide: Many plecos are nocturnal feeders, keep this in mind when choosing when and how much to feed. Feed up to two times per day the amount of food your fish will completely consume within about an hour. Always remove any uneaten food after the feeding period and avoid over-feeding. TANGS LOVE ALGAE WAFERS Everyone loves to see a tang that is as healthy as can be. Many times they tend to lose body mass over time due to a lack of readily available food or others in the tank that get to it before they do. Hikari Algae Wafers is a perfect choice to provide them all the vegetable matter they require and the amino acids, vitamins and minerals too. Have your tangs looking like they just came off the reef in no time! Feeding Guide: Many tangs love to pick at their food over a longer period of time. Hikari Algae Wafers and Mini Algae Wafers are formulated to maintain their shape for an extended period of time to allow them to do exactly that. Feed once per day the amount of food your fish will completely consume within about 30 minutes. Always remove any uneaten food after the feeding period and avoid over-feeding. LARGER AFRICAN CICHLIDS LOVE ALGAE WAFERS These fish require larger amounts of vegetable matter in their daily diet. Hikari Algae Wafers affords them a fantastic nutrient mix along with all the necessary amino acids, vitamins and minerals they require to live a long and health-filled life. Feeding Guide : Many larger herbivorous cichlids can be grazers. Hikari Algae Wafers are formulated to maintain their shape for an extended period of time to allow them to do exactly that or Mini Algae Wafers can be gobbled up readily if that is their preferred feeding habit. Feed twice per day the amount of food your fish will completely consume within about 5 minutes for direct feeding and more often daily for a longer period of time for grazing. Always remove any uneaten food after the feeding period and avoid over-feeding.

Smells just a pet store. Definitely reminds me of other Hikari products too. I’ll he looking for better larger supply. I have two tanks and this’ll last me maybe 60 to 90 days depending on variety of other food. I would say this is A-tier food for my setup. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product *by A***Y on May 1, 2026* N/A ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pickiest 55gal Community Tank Stamp of Approval *by B***S on May 19, 2019* Seriously I have the most gluttonous community tank but only if it's up to their standard. We have been thru lots of algae wafers and this is the only one that gets fed to our tanks. They are small and thin so that makes them easy to half. We use 3 wafers broken into halves in one of our tanks and this is my favorite wafer because it is so easy to split. Thank goodness, they actually float straight down to the bottom. I've had others float for a bit first but not these. They drop quickly and once on the bottom they hold their form. The wafer doesn't last long in any of our tanks except one and in that one tank, it sits for a good bit. It stays together, doesn't disapate and it's easy for the algae eaters to eat on it for awhile. We went thru a million flakes before I found one that I could use in am to offset the frozen food in pm. If they don't like it's going to mostly just pollute my tank. Shrimp pellets is another one that took many tries. Luckily I tried this wafer after two misses and it was hit. For the price, algae wafer quality and amount in bag,this is a great value and I recommend trying it. It's a hit with all fish, bottom feeders etc in my tank, no matter their dietary preferences. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hikari Usa Inc AHK21328 tropical Algae Wafer 8.8-Ounce - Hikari Tropical Sinking Wafers for Catfish, Loaches and Bottom Feeders 3.88 oz - Aqueon Shrimp Pellets Sinking Food for Tropical Fish, Goldfish, Loaches, Catfish and Other Bottom Feeding Fish, 6.5 Ounces --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/4570819-hikari-usa-inc-ahk21328-tropical-algae-wafer-8-8-ounce](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/4570819-hikari-usa-inc-ahk21328-tropical-algae-wafer-8-8-ounce) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
