Wardley algae wafers a big mess?

Does anyone use Wardley Algae Wafers? I think that these algae wafers I'm using make a lot of mess as they break down. Does anyone have a similar experience? I'm thinking of trying Hikari to see if it's less messy.

I found them to be softer than the Hikari tablets, but since I wasn't using them on a regular basis, they were acceptable for my purposes. If you use algae wafers frequently, I would suggest that you switch to Hikari.

I use Hikari wafers. But I think any algae wafer (or other food) can cause a mess if you feed above the correct amount.

I use both on a regular basis and none of them does a big mess.

I use New Life Spectrum H2O stable wafers without a problem. I also put in only as much as my plecos will eat overnight.

I use Wardleys and have no problems. Both plecos (A. triradiatus) and clown and kubotai loaches love the things. I usually feed them 3-4 times a week. No issues that I can think of.
