## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these also good for snails?  I know I'm getting a snail to eat the algae on the tank but if it devours all that's there, can these be used?**
A: Yes, snails love algae wafers!

**Q: How long should i keep this in the tank?**
A: Our fish eat there wafers right away.when we do our tank cleaning anything left is cleaned out

**Q: Are these wafers bigger or smaller? I have a 5 inch pleco and she needs bigger discs.**
A: Yes, they are bigger size wafers and I like this product. However, I still supplement my pleco's diet with cucumbers, green beans, and other veggies. Pleco's can't live off of wafers, they don't really eat algae after a certain size.  I have a 9 to 10 inch pleco that I've had for 8 years and veggies and driftwood are what he really eats. Hope that helped!

**Q: What is the difference between these and the “bottom feeder pellets” by api?**
A: Honestly they are the same
