Mini Algae Discs - Sinking Diet for Snails, Shrimp & Bottom Feeding Fish (1.5oz (42,5g))

The mystery snails love these and will wake up and head straight for one if I drop it in the tank while they're sleeping. The amano shrimp and tetra also love them and will steal them from the snails when they can. I had to start splitting them into multiple pieces to keep everyone from fighting over them, even when other food varieties are available. Everyone will pass over the other food to eat these.

At first I was sure about these. But the baby shrimp love them. The snails have a hard time getting to them but I got a stone and grind the disk a little so the powder gets spread around the tank and at the waterline. Seems to work out.

I bought these to feed my nerite snail. He's my first one and I just got him a week or so ago. I heard they eat mostly algae and there's no visible algae in my tank so I wanted to make sure he had food. I dropped one in and I don't know if he doesn't like it or he's just not hungry but he slid by it several times and didn't seem to even notice it. Having said that, my neocardinia shrimp really loved it and I even caught my tetras nibbling at it here and there so it's no loss to me if my snail refuses to eat them. I suspect he's likely been feeding in my tank. I have biofilm growing there, live plants and some catappa and mulberry leaves for my shrimp, but I've started some algae cultures to supplement him with if needed, lol. I love that these wafers are made from natural ingredients that I can read, pronounce and readily identify. I don't know about snail diets but it seems to be a pretty healthy mix for shrimp. They sink well but aren't very long lasting. They begin to disintegrate within 24hrs, at which point they're near impossible to remove by hand so I would suggest using them sparingly. They dont seem to cloud my tank or turn my water green which is a plus. I appreciate the smaller size and they're thin enough that they can be easily broken into even smaller portions if desired. This is a great value for the price. The bag is small but there are quite a bit of wafers, enough to last me several months in my small tank.

This has cut back on my snails eating the plants in my aquarium. I have 5 snails so I do wish the pucks were a little bigger.

Snail Bro loves his cookies. Soon as I drop it in the water he knows. His snail senses turn on and he cruises at the speed of light to his snack. They are easy for him to hold with his foot. As you can see in the photo.
