I have these algae wafers for 16 snails. I have seven trochus, seven nerite , and two nassrius snails. All in a 20 gallon high tank. When the tank does not produce enough food, how often should I feed them? Thanks all

how old is tank ? let glass get little dirty, should not have to use wafers, will only raise PO 4 If uneaten.
 
I would say next time don't get more snails than your tank can support. Unless you are ordering online and need to do it in bulk to save on shipping, just add slowly and adjust as needed. Yes you can target feed but they are slow to get to those wafers and they will probably foul your water.
