High pH alone does not directly create algae blooms. Algae growth is usually driven by light intensity, excess nutrients, unstable CO2 in planted tanks, and accumulated organics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHowever, overfeeding can absolutely contribute to algae problems. If you add too many XXL discs, the leftovers break down and release nutrients that feed nuisance algae. So while this product does not cause algae by itself, poor feeding control can worsen existing issues. If algae is already a problem, reduce portions, shorten lighting if needed, and improve maintenance rather than blaming the food format alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"warning-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e⚠️ Common Mistake\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdding extra discs because fish seem interested is a classic overfeeding trap.

Spirulina is a cyanobacteria commonly used in fish foods because it is rich in pigments, amino acids, and micronutrients.

The right amount is what your fish consume within a few minutes without leaving a soft residue.
