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
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 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. This attention to detail allows you to be confident your choice will be quickly devoured by even the most finicky eaters.
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. Hikari uses actual experience and physical practice instead of marketing schemes or unproven theory to develop our premium aquatic diets!

Great for all sizes of fish!
While I started buying these for my SA cichlids, I found them a favorite of my small fish as well – tetras, etc will go for them, creating good photo ops. These also will hold up for hours so less chance of messy unbeaten food because it fell apart.

Excellent Cichlid and Big Catfish Staple Food
I have big Severums, a huge Oscar, a large Salvini, and a smallish but plucky Convict as well as Raphael and Pictus catfish that LOVE this stuff. I shake the bag and tell them what to expect, and they line up at the top of the tank. They know the pellets sink, so they jockey for position at the top to be able to catch it.I use it about 5 times a week and also provide other food like bloodworms, tubifex worms, spirulina flakes, various cichlid pellets (sinking or floating), and freeze dried crickets for variety. It is less expensive online than in local stores, so it is affordable.Most of all, I credit this food as a a valuable replacement for live food. Why would I not want to use live food? 2 reasons. First, most fishes raised as food for other fishes are in bad shape and introduce diseases to your cichlids. (Also, I dislike supporting the barbaric treatment of fishes used as live food by buying them.) Second, this is important if you want a group of cichlids to live (somewhat) peacefully together, for the practice of releasing live fish in tanks for cichlids to chase and hunt for their food promotes predation and territoriality in cichlids. I figure that my cichlids now must adapt to a life in a home aquarium with other fish in a limited space, so I need to calm down their aggressive instincts as much as possible.I have fed all of my fish since I got them at an inch or so long with this food (broken into smaller bits depending on their size) rather than using live food. I credit this food for encouraging these potentially hostile fish to live together more harmoniously since without live food to chase they have never exercised their hunting instincts, which I suspect would lead them to look at one another as delicious prey. As a result, as I kept getting larger and larger tanks to accommodate their growth my cichlids were able to interact more peacefully with new tank mates from other tanks. While I am not going so far as to claim that peace, love, and understanding reign in my big cichlid tanks, I think that this food helps to diffuse the political situation among the cichlids!

Something New to Try
Our Pleco is approx. 12-14 yrs old. Am sure he gets tired of eating the same brand, same flavor, same everything, so we constantly look for new products on the market for him/her. So far all seems good with this current food item.
