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!

Really good!
My leopard gecko loved the taste of this! He ate a lot of it and always kept him full so it did its job. The texture is like a gel and does not smell great lol. iâve bought this several times so itâs great for the money. My gecko did grow out of his however, as he doesnât eat it anymore. thai could just be my gecko though. highly recommend!

Gecko loves it!
My gecko once had a bad shed that had damaged her eyes so she cannot see well and as a result, cannot hunt well. Used to have to feed her what I could describe as gecko formula out of a syringe as a recommendation from my vet. My gecko didn’t care for it and snubbed it a lot and it was just a hassle for the both of us. In my search for freeze-dried crickets (thinking that might be a better way), I found this. My gecko LOVES this and she is looking so much healthier! This is a must-have if you have a special needs gecko! I have seen reviews talking about the smell, but it has not been *that* bad in my experience and I hardly smell it at all.

A huge hit
I am new to Leopard Geckos, but use Hikari gel for my adult bearded dragon. My Leopard Gecko took to this feed immediately. It is a little chewy for a baby so I cut it into small sections for now. Her toilet habits are regular and she is growing well just on this food. Itâs an easy feed especially if you have someone tending your reptile who is squeamish about insects. The only drawback is it is a bit pricey for the amount given. Hope this helps someone!

My guys hated it
I had high hopes, but my guys hated this product. I couldn’t get them to touch it after the first taste. If your gecko likes the flavor of it, I can see how it would be quite convenient though.

Our leopard gecko loves it!
I was skeptical at first because our gecko refuses freeze dried insects and is picky about the live crickets and meal worms, but will see the goo wiggling and snap at it, ripping off his own piece. He actually sits on top of his house in the evening waiting for this food now. It saves me time and money from making trips to pet store or having to store crickets in my house. Any my kids enjoy this experience and excitement too.

Was worth a try!
Was worth a try! I have a young, three month old male gecko. I bought this hoping that it would be something he would eat in addition to his crickets, roaches and mealworms. The only time Iâve gotten him to eat it was the first time I offered it to him⦠Ever since then every time I offer it he sniffs and then backs away from it! And believe me, he never turns down food! In spite of the rave reviews for most people, it does not work for my gecko!

Smells absolutely awful but itâs keeping my gecko healthy
My leopard gecko is blind sadly. He cannot eat on his own so I have to syringe feed him. This stuff I mix with non flavored pedialyte and Fluker’s High AMP Boost Reptile
Supplement. Works really well but god it smells awful. I keep it in 2 ziplocks in my fridge and when I open it to feed the lizard I gag everytime. It smells like a sewer but 10 times worse. So maybe buy a nose plug with this.

My package exploded after a week
After about 1 week, my package the food was in, had swollen up, and later exploded scaring the living daylights out of every living thing in our house, as it sounded somewhat like a firecracker going off at 3AM, and made a huge mess. I followed the instructions to the best of my ability, kept the cap on tight, and had it in the refrigerator, but maybe I’m supposed to open it every now and then? My geck is picky, like most, and pretty much wanted nothing to do with the food. With a little trickery, I got my ol girl to eat this, and she seemed to like it just fine, but she wouldn’t try it again, instead looking at it like it was an alien. Maybe if you fed it to them from an early stage, they might be more used to it, but for mine it was a no go.

When our elderly gecko stopped eating live food she became weak and lethargic. We purchased this and began feeding her back to health. She seemed to love the taste, and ate a little more each time, that was over two years ago now, and she is happy and healthy. The item is a ggis size, great quality and good value for money, its certainly cheaper than live food. It does smell a bit potent, but nothing too bad.

Love this product, have ordered it numerous times. My leopard gecko loves this stuff compared other âLeoâ insect substitutes, of course a true insect diet is ideal for leopard geckos but where I live it can sometimes be hard to get live bugs of decent size all year round, this has become my perfect winter substitute because he greedily takes it and helps him keep weight on. Definitely recommend.

This food is great and very convenient. You just keep it in the fridge once opened, I feed my gecko straight from the spout he loves it and it means I donât have to look after live insects or have loose bugs running around. My gecko is in great condition on this food
