I need new fish food

[evil wizard]

I had a small bag of it as a test a few months back. My fish loved it and I forgot to replace it when I ran out. Thanks Jim for reminding me of it .

My algae eaters love this stuff

I too agree, great for plecos, snails, ect.

Are those also good in salt? Or is there any better algae wafers for marine tanks?

I think they make saltwater snail food. I could be wrong though.

I think they make saltwater snail food. I could be wrong though.

But I was asking specifically about the Hikari ones. Maybe it is a different product, or the exact same with new label:

Those don't say "tropical" on it, but do say (and show a picture) of a tang. The mini wafers have a yellow tang instead. And tanker may have first hand experience with it since she used to have a salt tank for a long time.

Repashy also makes a great line of foods that don't break down quickly. Plecos, hillstreams, shrimp all love it. I use a combination of Shrimp Souffle, Soilent Green and Community Plus. I make about three months worth at a time and freeze a week's worth in individual baggies. I also feed the hikari algae wafers and occasionally blanched spinach or cuke.

For colour you could also get pure astaxanthin from kens and dose their food with it. See if it turns them pink.

I looked them up on amazon and they look good. I also found Omega One Shrimp Pellets and
Hikari Tropical Algae Wafers

+1 for Hikari. For prepared foods, it's all I use.

Hikari is a very good food. I use it for my guppy fry, endler fry, and also a few other fish. I'm looking to buy a few more to stock up on my hikari supply
