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!

The fish love it
I have a small outdoor pond with a handful of koi in it. I have been feeding them this brand. When they were smaller they had to eat the mini pellets, but now that they are bigger these suit them fine. They keep good color with this brand and I have not had any get sick and I have had them for years.

Happy fish
When I first got my baby koi one year ago I had some food given to me by the breeder, so I don’t know what their original starter fish food was. I found this by researching on Amazon and have been very happy with this purchase. I feed them twice a day. My fish seem to love it and they have tripled in size from last year on this food. They always come to the surface every time I pass by, hoping for some handout. There’s even a couple that push the other fish away so they can have first pickings. Their colors are definitely very vibrant. I will be purchasing the wheat germ version for the fall.
Amazon Customer –
Best place to purchase!!!
This bag of fish pellets is at lease $10 cheaper than from a fish store. My fish love it and will come to the surface when they see me walking over with the bag of food.
Amazon Customer –
good product
Karthik vaidyanathan –
If you have bigger fish, either giant orandas or ryukins or koi, this should be a good filler food, pellets are big, my orandas are 5 inchers, they gulp easily 7-8 pellets each at a time, they are pooping better as well. Better choice than hikari purple or green pack gold fish food.Pack is big and food spoils pretty easy if kept as is. OK choice if you have lots of fishes and the food would be used up. Else You can expect food to spoil.
