So I bought some Sanyu algae wafers on spec from an lfs , but they were rebagged and there was no label.

They were cheap enough and my B/N fry seem to like them well enough, but I'd like to know exactly what's in them.

This is what they look like if you buy in the actual container


Does anyone have some of these, and if so can they have a look at the label and tell me the list of ingredients please?

Tried googling it, but no go. I assume it's some combo of grain meal, algae, fish meal, cows faces and sawdust ground up fine, but wouldn't mind knowing what proportions.

Cheers. Looks a reasonable list for something that's so cheap. How do you find them?

They must be pretty good my clown loaches love them, making their clicking sound everytime they have some and sometimes even my green terrors eat them haha. I never intentionally bought them though, was buying some fish of a bloke a while ago and he had a box full of fish related items and I bought the box off him for $50 and these wafers were in there. That link you posted, the price is crazy ! The price tag on my container says $15 from pet city

ingrediants are listed from biggest % to least % so the vitamins and minerals are obviously very tiny amount... fish meal and wheat flour being the biggest ingrediants....

does it gives their percentage of contents as well ???

Only thing else I can see on the container is the proximate analysis which is:

Crude protein min. 42%
Crude fat min. 4%
Crude fiber max. 5%
Moisture max. 10%
