Algae Food for Mollies and Platys

[monicatetra]

I have two Platys and five Mollies, right now I am only feeding them flake, I thought they might need some algae, but the only one I found was sinking algae wafers that said it was for bottom feeders. Should I feed them those ? Do they even need any algae at all ? I also only feed once a day, should I be feeding more often ?

Thanks

That's what I feed my balloon mollies but only like once a week. They go at the algae wafer. They love them. As far as feeding your fish once a day, that's all they need. Some people feed them more than that because they always look hungry our they just like seeing the fish eat, but once a day is all they need.

I feed algae wafers to my dalmation molly, she loves them, but hold them and not drop them or they might ignore it.

Gold fish food is good for mollies as well.
My mollies dig into algae wafers.

Thanks all, I will be sure to pick some up next time I am at the store.

I have four lyretail mollies, and I feed them freeze dried bloodworms, crushed up shrimp pellets, crushed Betta pellets, and crushed up algae wafers (made for bottom feeders) Sometimes I put flakes in there too.

Stepping on the bag of algae wafers is a great way to break them into manageable pieces quickly. I like to pretend I did it on purpose.
