- SUPERIOR NUTRITION has been scientifically proven by decades of research to meet the dietary needs of tetras, barbs and other small tropical fish.

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!

ResearchOur 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 and ultimately a life span which exceeds that they would expect in their natural habitat. |
Species SpecificHikari 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! |
TETRAS LOVE MICRO PELLETS
Most Tetras will readily take most smaller foods used in the hobby. Care should be taken to ensure that the food of choice is not too large for them to properly eat and digest. They tend to nibble at their food, leaching of the nutrients is also an issue. For this reason choosing a product like Micro Pellets, which is a small , rapidly softening pellet when put in water and micro-coated to lock in the necessary nutrition. Feed them more often, smaller amounts of food, use an amount they will completely consume within about 30 seconds. Care should be taken to avoid over-feeding and the water quality issues that can result. Try Ultimate for outstanding water quality!
In their natural habitat, neon tetras are omnivores, eating both meat and vegetables/plant matter. Fortunately for aquarium keepers, they enjoy eating all different types of food including pellets, frozen, freeze dried, flake and live. As always, a high quality, formulated diet should be the basis of their daily nutrition.
ANGELFISH LOVE MICRO PELLETS
Angelfish prefer to feed at the surface or mid-water, however, in nature they often forage along the bottom looking for worms and small crustaceans. They will thrive on Micro Pellets or Vibra Bites as their base diet. Frozen and live foods can be fed as treats or to help induce spawning. Feed only what they can consume in about 2 minutes twice a day. Care should be taken to avoid over-feeding and the water quality issues that can result. Try Ultimate for outstanding water quality!
Angelfish are omnivores, but in the wild small live prey can make up a large portion of their diet. They are known to feast on insects, larvae, crustaceans, rotifers and even fry. They require a diet high in protein, fiber and typically do not eat lots of plant material or algae. Mated pairs, that you are planning to breed, must be fed up to 4 times a day. Adding some vegetable materials to their daily food mix will ensure they get the fiber they need.
LIVEBEARERS LOVE MICRO PELLETS
Livebearers are omnivores and need both vegetable matter and meat based foods. They will enjoy Micro Pellets. Frozen, freeze dried and live foods can also be fed as treats or to help induce spawning and improve growth. Feed twice a day the amount they will completely consume within about 2 minutes. Care should be taken to avoid over-feeding and the water quality issues that can result. Try Ultimate for outstanding water quality!
Almost all livebearers are top feeders and will readily take most formulated, frozen, freeze dried and live foods. Be sure their daily food offering has some vegetable content too. Livebearer fry are about 7 to 10 mm in length when born. They can be some of the easiest species to raise as they great foragers and can usually find additional food sources in the aquarium between feedings to keep them happy. As they grow, they can add constant movement and excellent coloration to your aquarium setting and offer lots of new babies regularly to enjoy.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
What's really amazing is that this 1.58 oz of fish food has been the diet for all of these fish in my tank for the last 102 days and there is about 1/3 of a bag left. I feed my fish twice per day, two pinches in at 7:00 AM and 2 pinches at 6:00 PM.
I love how it semi floats, bright colored, and does not just disintegrate immediately to clog up your filters or like big flakes that start building up on the filter . It falls down slowly in to the water and also because of it's color the fishes can easily spot them on the floor of the aquarium.
This is my go to from now on. This brand definitely have high quality fish foods and know what they are doing.
I believe it would also work very well in an automatic feeder, save that you could accidentally put in too much.
The only fish food I use.
NOT for goldfish.
