A floating pellet at 40% protein with astaxanthin and spirulina for colour. Hikari’s own note: the high proportion of natural ingredients means the shade varies a little between production lots, which is not a fault.

Feeding Guide

Feed two to three times daily, only what the fish finish in a few minutes. Remove anything uneaten.

Feed to the fish, not to the clock: what a tank needs changes with temperature, stocking and season. Uneaten food is the most common cause of an ammonia spike in an otherwise healthy tank.

Pack Size

8.8 oz (250 g) tub, Hikari #04228.

Hikari make this line in 2 oz (57 g, #04211) and 8.8 oz (250 g, #04228). Hikari also make a 22 lb sack.

Buy the size you will use within about six months and keep the tub sealed, dry and out of sunlight. The fats in a prepared fish food oxidise once the pack is opened, and a stale tub is poorer value than a small fresh one whatever it cost per gram.

Freshness & Storage

Every batch we dispatch carries a minimum of 6 months’ remaining shelf life. Store this product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, with the cap or inner foil closed tightly after each use.
