Product Description
About Hikari
Hikari, the "originator" of Species Specific and premium aquatics diets has been copied by many, but our loyal customers know they can always depend on our products to offer their aquatic pets the finest in scientifically balanced nutrition. For almost 140 years we've spent considerable time exploring natural habitats of fish, breeding fish in our own facilities, producing diets in our own factories, processing every shipment through our own facilities and researching the impact our diets have over time. These unique insights into the nutritional needs of fish give a competitive advantage no other fish food maker can duplicate and allow us to produce species specific diets that will not only maintain your aquatic pets' health, but assist you in keeping your aquarium or pond in top form.
We make the health and longevity of the fish and the aquatic environment they live in our first priority. Focusing on bringing about success to the hobbyist through exacting nutrition has allowed us to develop a brand name synonymous with superior quality. Consider using Hikari, because you love your aquatic pets as much as they love you!

RESEARCHWe feel it's our duty to constantly investigate the natural ecology of fish to make the best food for them. Our exploration to Irian Jaya, Lake Malawi in Africa, Guiana highland, the Indian Ocean, the jungle of Southeast Asia and the Holy River Ayeyawady and others, offer us many secrets to fish health, coloration, breeding requirements, water conditions and quality. |
SPECIES SPECIFIC DIETSHikari offers a wide variety of diets for different species of fish, each offering unique characteristics which enable it to be readily accepted by the specific fish it was developed for, which is where Species Specific originated. This attention to detail allows you to be confident your choice will be quickly devoured by even the most finicky eaters. |
TECHNOLOGYOur first hand experience breeding and raising fish, and the scientific data we can collect during this process, give us a clear road map for future product improvements and enhancements. Hikari uses actual experience and physical practice instead of marketing schemes or unproven theory to develop our premium aquatic diets! |

Although pet stores say that you can crush regular fish food and feed to your fry, I would recommend using First Bites regardless. This is because:
(1) It is easier to feed this food than constantly crushing new food. Yes, the crushed food will eventually get old and stale. Plus, it is harder to portion your crushed food, and you may be in danger of overfeeding your fish because your pieces may not be fine enough.
(2) It is easier to measure portions. First Bites is a super fine powder that is easy to pick up and feed. To give an accurate representation, it has the consistency of something like baby powder.
(3) This small package comes with a lot of food. Fry do not have to eat that much. For me, I kept my fry in the main tank but sectioned off in a "net-box." I fed them twice a day and fed them about a small pinch (or enough to cover the surface of the net-box).
(4) Perfect size for fry. Fry are very tiny. They can only fit so much food in their mouths and their stomachs. From my experience, I have found that my fry have reacted well to this food.
(5) Finally, my success rate. I have used this food in raising close to a hundred dalmatian mollies. By no means do I raise and sell fry professionally, but as a hobbyist, First Bites simplified the process and generated many healthy adult fish for my aquarium.
After i got and started feeding them this stuff, which they seem to love, the babies shot up in size (i even noticed a new batch of babies last night) The nutrition they're getting now helped a lot, first generation is already 'grade school' size haha. Pleased with product, as they seem to be as well.
