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!

Why Customers Choose Hikari

Lake Malawi

RESEARCH

We 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

SPECIES SPECIFIC DIETS

Hikari 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.

TECHNOLOGY

Our 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.

Molly fry are in love!
My fry LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS my molly just gave birth and I wasn’t aware she was pregnant so I was struggling to feed these babies! This finally came in today and my babies absolutely went nuts for it! I love that it floats too so it doesn’t sink through the netting like other fry food. 100% recommend for people who are breeding their guppies and mollies

    This stuff is fabulous! The first time one of my platys had fry, I fed the babies crushed up regular food that I give my adult fish. Only one survived out of 10. I was really upset. The second time, I found out about this food and fed it to a batch of 13 babies. I fed them about 4 times a day, and it was clear they loved this food and could actually eat it with their teeny tiny mouths. Out of 13, only one died! (And I think he had swim bladder issues.) This food is just what you need to raise healthy, happy fry. I will never purchase anything else.

    Flavor Name: FishSize: 0.35 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
    The product I received had a couple of years before its expiration, so I have been using it for successive generations of new fry without it expiring.

    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.

    Item arrived on time & is as described.
    The package is pretty small, but then I suppose baby fish / fry don't really need a large amount of food this fine before they are able to eat larger foods.
    I mixed it in a little water as recommended and it done just fine.
    ***Be sure to use water from your aquarium, not tap water, as tap water has chemicals that can harm / kill your fish!***

    Reviewed in Canada on September 15, 2023
    Flavor Name: FishSize: 0.35 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
    My first time raising Molly fry and they love it. It's ground up small like baby brine so it's easy to eat while they just swim through the tank and gobble it up. Not a single fry lost yet so far so good. It is a little pricey for what it is but the small bag will last a fair bit it looks like. I was crushing up fish granules before i received these for the first couple days to hold them over.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Better Food For Rearing Baby Fish!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 21, 2023
    Flavor Name: FishSize: 0.35 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
    I recently bred some Guppy fish and have a tank full of 'miniature' babies!
    This product is working out to be one of the best products I tried to feed these babies as the product 'floats' on the surface and doesn't sink to the bottom of the tank, allowing the babies ti investigate the food on the surface of the water.
    The product package was small so I thought that it would be insufficient but when scattering a small amount on the surface of the water I realised that the product really will last for the duration of the growth of the babies until they can eat 'proper' aquatic food.
    The package of the product is seal-able, so you can make sure it stays fresh and can be long lasting if you choose to breed more fish.
    Happy to recommend.
