Product Description
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!

good food
this food works good for extra big tank fish.
Amazon Customer –
Excellent
Top quality product. Smells great, excellent texture once it soaks up water. Doubles in size when wet. Doesn’t dirty the water even with heavy feeding. Doesn’t easily break apart or crumble. My fish love it once they get used to it. Feeding an alligator gar, giant Oscar, Florida gar, African sideneck turtle, ornate and dinosaur bichirs. Excellent product. Excellent package, excellent service.

Came fast, fish loves
My big girl has been eating these for a while, (they’re the only food sticks she’ll take now), so I was happy to find a bag that will last me more than a month or two. I also love the flat bottom and resealable opening, it makes it easy to store and keeps it fresh. Also loved the overnight shipping.
Buffalo, White –
I just wish they would NOT ship in a soft pack.
I’ve been buying these for my arowana for years and she loves them. Only thing she eats.My ongoing issue is that it keeps coming in a soft pack and I get a package of dust rather than pellets.I just wish they would have the sense to put this item in a box so these food pellets don’t get crushed in shipping.

Spendy but good.
Arowana and other fish love it. 4 out 5 because of how expensive it is.
Jayme McGrew –
