How long should i keep this in the tank?

Our fish eat there wafers right away.when we do our tank cleaning anything left is cleaned out

Are these wafers bigger or smaller? I have a 5 inch pleco and she needs bigger discs.

Yes, they are bigger size wafers and I like this product. However, I still supplement my pleco's diet with cucumbers, green beans, and other veggies. Pleco's can't live off of wafers, they don't really eat algae after a certain size. I have a 9 to 10 inch pleco that I've had for 8 years and veggies and driftwood are what he really eats. Hope that helped!
