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!

My fish thrive on it

Clarys Fernandez –
Everything ok
Size perfect same picture
Paddlefoot –
Great for all sizes of fish.
Fish in my 2200 gallon pond love these, float for at least 5 hours, they do soak up water so babies can eat off of them, I hose them from the sides so they donât get stuck to sides of ind, pond filter is turned off so all food is eaten. None goes to waste.

Used with Success for Years
My koi and goldfish love this and love the small size. Even larger fish like the small size. They have gotten so big and fat over a summer of eating this that I know winter will be easier on them. We have been using this for years and I will swear by it. I store it outside in a waterproof container. Even my dogs like it!

Hikari Is My Go To Koi Food
This is one of the Hikari products I use for my Koi. A variety of foods ensure my koi grow large and colorful. Hikari is the backbone of my feeding program. Of about 7 foods I rotate between, five are Hikari formula. I also keep a temperature gauge in the pond so I’m sure to be giving them what they can digest at the right times of year. Hikari is what koi breeders use for their show fish. It’s not the most expensive, but it’s some of the best. Just look at my koi. 8 or 9 months after I bought them, a few of the standard koi have tripled in size. Those are some spoiled koi!
Allen –
Hikari all I have ever fed my fish.
Fish seem to like it, eaten by both the Koi and the Goldfish. It’s kind of expensive compared to other brands, but I want the fish to have what’s best for them. When the water temperature drops this winter I will switch to the Hikari wheat germ for easier digestibility.

Excellent produit. Mes poissons Koi ont aimé cette nourriture immédiatement! Les informations nécessaires à savoir (quantité, fréquence) sont bien écrits sur le sachet et ce, en plusieurs langues, y compris en français. Identique à la description et aux photos. Dépasse mes attentes. Très satisfait.

Sehr schnelle Lieferung und günstiger als bei Kölle Zoo
Amazon Customer –
Floated well and the fish liked them. Was worried that the grey colour would be harder for them to spot, but that was not the case. Arrived promptly and reasonable value.
