In fact, if any bits are missed, the little guys always help out and eat what's left! However, I can only speak for this brand. I don't like risking 'plain packet brands' just in case. **Q: Why does the price say £11.95 (£17.56 / 100 g)? Isn't this bag 250g so it should be £4.78 / 100g** A: Amazon do the pricing but yes it should be around £4.78 / 100g **Q: hi what is the expire date on this product please ?** A: The expiry date on the current batch of alage wafers is 05/2017 **Q: Does anyone have exerience of this food with guppies in the tank as well. So far everything i put in for my pleco is demolished by the guppies?** A: I had both a few years ago I feed them at the same time with the Algae tablet and I also had food for bottom feeders that sank to the bottom. if you give a pinch of flakes that float they notice that and the bottom food reach the bottom before they can grab it. Hope this can help or any aquatic shop will help you mine did. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product *by D***W on 7 June 2026* Pleco loves it used it for years ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Food for my fish *by W***A on 12 June 2026* Brilliant ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good value *by C***T on 13 July 2026* A* ## 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.at/products/47908771-algae-wafers-sng-250g](https://www.desertcart.at/products/47908771-algae-wafers-sng-250g) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-10-09*
