No, algae wafers on their own do not grow algae; however, when left in a tank under certain circumstances they may indirectly cause an algae bloom to appear.
Specially developed to feed Plecostomus and other algae-eating bottom feeders with difficulty, this formula contains high levels of vegetable matter and multiple algaes to compliment their feeding style. Plus, its disc-shaped formula quickly sinks while still remaining in shape, providing less aggressive species access without dissolving or clouding up aquarium water.

Product Description
Hikari first pioneered this diet for Plecostomus and other algae eating bottom feeders. Now widely replicated by others, this unique wafer-shaped diet features high levels of vegetable matter and multiple algaes to promote proper growth and desirable form in most herbivorous species; plus increased amounts of stabilized Vitamin C to reduce stress and build immunity against disease. Furthermore, its disc-shaped wafer sinks quickly while still retaining its form for extended feeding sessions without dissolving or clouding aquarium water; plus it contains pure-cultured spirulina and chlorella algae to make your fish look their best; ideal even for saltwater fish!
Feed no more than your fish can consume within two (2) hours. Many tropical fish can be reluctant to accept new foods at first, but consistent use should lead to acceptance. You may break apart the discs as desired for use with herbivorous species like blennies and tangs.
Product Benefits
Plecostomus diets are designed to meet the dietary requirements of Plecostomus and other algae eating bottom feeders, including marine herbivores. Our formula encourages proper growth and desirable form among most herbivorous species by providing increased vegetable matter levels and multiple algae that Plecostomus enjoy eating, along with pure cultured spirulina for appearance enhancement and high stabilized vitamin C content to reduce stress and build immunity against diseases – it won’t dissolve or cloud aquarium water either; providing comprehensive and balanced nutrition!
Feed only what your fish will consume within two (2) hours. Though some tropical fish may resist new types of food at first, with continued exposure acceptance is assured. You can break these discs into smaller pieces if desired for feeding other algae-eating tropical and marine fish that graze, such as blennies and tangs; they provide great variety in your herbivorous cichlid’s diet!
