Common Questions
Hikari Mini Algae Wafers FAQ
What's the difference between Mini Algae Wafers and regular Algae Wafers?
The formula is essentially the same — the Mini Algae Wafers are a smaller size, making them better suited to nano tanks, smaller bottom feeders, and situations where you want to avoid overfeeding with a full-sized wafer.
How many should I feed per tank?
This depends on tank size and stocking. For a shrimp tank, one mini wafer every 2–3 days as a supplement alongside biofilm grazing is typically sufficient. For tanks with bottom feeders, start with one wafer and observe how quickly it is consumed.
What is the guaranteed analysis?
Crude Protein: 33% min. Crude Fat: 4% min. Crude Fiber: 3% max. Moisture: 10% max. Ash: 17% max. Phosphorus: 0.8% min.

Are Mini Algae Wafers safe for shrimp?
Yes — Mini Algae Wafers are commonly fed to freshwater shrimp as a supplemental vegetable food source. Note that the formula contains copper sulfate; feed sparingly and remove uneaten portions promptly from shrimp tanks.
When should I feed them?
Many bottom feeders are nocturnal. For best results, feed after lights-out. Remove any uneaten food within an hour of feeding.
