API states the wafers will not harm shrimp or snails, but that shrimp and snails need a different food source to meet their nutritional needs, so do not rely on it as their main food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeed up to twice a day. To suit the slower feeding habits of most algae eaters, give the amount your fish will eat within 2 hours, then remove anything left over. Some algae eaters feed at night, so dropping the wafer in after the lights go off helps it reach them. API notes the wafers are not known to cause algae blooms, but uneaten food left on the bottom can feed algae.
