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!

Customers say

Customers find this fish food provides good nutrients and appreciate its large size, particularly for large cichlids. The pellets sink quickly to the bottom, and customers like that it enhances their fish’s color and comes in large quantities. While some customers report no water clouding, others mention the pellets make the water cloudy.

    Excellent for all my monster fish.
    Quality is always fresh and my monster fish especially my RTC LOVES this pellet. My Plecos are huge as well as my other fish as this is perfect for my growing “kids”. I am concerned with the price. Also the fact that it only comes in a 2.2 and not a 5lb or even a 10. I have quite a few monsters as well as 6 tanks. I need to get this a few times per month and Amazon wont allow auto ship. I need something bigger!!!

    I’ve purchased this 13 times.
    I have large oscar and enderlicheri bichir….. they eat alot. I’ve gone thru 13 bags of this over the past 3 years or so. Consistent every time. Way better value buying in large bag vs 9 oz bag.

    Too many crumbs!
    I’ve been using Hikari sinking pellets for a while and they’re great for my fish. They seem to love them, and the water stays pretty clean. However, this time my order had a lot of crumbs in the bag, which was kind of disapointing. Usually, the pellets are in great shape, but this batch was messier than usual. Still a solid product, just hoping for better quality control next time!

    Best on the market
    These sinking pellets are the best we have found anywhere. Our fish need the sinking pellets so they can eat it easier. Love this stuff.

    Fish love it
    My fish go nuts for this food. And it is affordable. Maybe the ingredients aren’t the very top quality, but my fish look great and love it. The water stays clearer feeding it than some more expensive alternatives I have fed.
