Algae Wafers

Premium Algae Wafers | Nutrient-Rich Isopod & Invertebrate Food

Boost your colony’s health with our Premium Algae Wafers — a specially curated supplemental feed perfect for isopods, millipedes, land snails, and springtails. While leaf litter and decaying wood are the bread and butter of their diet, these wafers provide the essential superfood punch needed for a thriving, breeding colony.

Why Our Algae Wafers are a Keeper’s Favourite

• Mineral-Rich Formula: Packed with high-quality spirulina and seaweed, providing the essential calcium and minerals required for successful moulting and strong exoskeleton growth.
• Protein Balance: Helps prevent protein-hungry isopod species (like Porcellio) from predating on their own mancae or tank mates.
• Low-Mould Technology: Hard-pressed to hold their shape longer in high-humidity enclosures, giving your invertebrates plenty of time to forage without fouling the substrate.
• Vibrancy Boost: Natural carotenoids help enhance the colours of designer isopod morphs, keeping your Cubaris or Armadillidium looking their best.

Feeding Recommendations

• Portion Control: Place one wafer per small colony directly onto a piece of cork bark or a feeding slate.
• Hydration: In drier setups, lightly mist the wafer to soften it for smaller juveniles or snail species.
• Frequency: Feed 1–3 times a week as a supplement to their primary diet of leaf litter and wood.
• Bioactive Tip: If using in a reptile enclosure, hide the wafer under a piece of wood to ensure the clean-up crew gets to it before the main inhabitant takes an interest.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I feed algae wafers?
Feed 1–3 times per week as a supplement to your primary diet of leaf litter and wood. Remove any uneaten wafers after 48–72 hours to keep the enclosure clean.

How many wafers per colony?
One wafer per small to medium colony is sufficient. For larger colonies, use 2–3 wafers and scatter them in different areas of the enclosure to prevent feeding frenzies and ensure all colony members get access.

Will algae wafers mould in a humid enclosure?
Our wafers are hard-pressed to hold their shape longer than standard flakes or powders in humid conditions. However, remove any uneaten wafers after 48–72 hours in very high humidity setups.

Are they safe for all isopod species?
Yes — our algae wafers are safe for all isopod species including Armadillidium, Porcellio, Cubaris, and Trichorhina. They are also suitable for millipedes, land snails, and springtails.

Can I use algae wafers alongside other supplements?
Yes — algae wafers work best as part of a varied diet alongside leaf litter, protein supplements (such as fish flakes or dried shrimp), and calcium sources (such as cuttlefish bone or oyster shell). Variety is key to a thriving colony.
