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!

It works
I have fed Hikari for over 20 years. Koi have always greedily fed and thrived. This formula is very very effective for colder water temps.

Great food
I was looking for a food that wasn’t too big for my huge koi. They like it a little smaller. This was a food that was recommended by koi enthusiasts. It looks good as far as color there is a but not as bad as my other food I had. So I think for the health of my babies this was a good choice for my money.

Koi Food for Spring and Fall
When water temp is below 50 degrees, feed this product to facilitate digestion by koi. Like everything else that I purchase, the price has risen reflecting the inflation gripping our country.

My Koi Are Fed Only The Best
Yes my koi are spoiled. Hikari forms the backbone of my feeding regimen. Cooler temps mean it’s time for some easy to digest wheat koi pellets. If you look at the other Hikari Koi foods you will find my reviews on them as well. I use small pellets, and medium. Some of my koi tripled in size since I got them back in March/April, roughly 9 months ago. I keep a temperature gauge in the pond so I know when and what to feed. Overfeeding when it’s cool can kill your fish. They cannot digest the fats they could back when it was in the 80’s. I’ve also dropped back to only a couple feedings a day now and soon, only once.

Good
I bought these for my turtle. If you mix 25% wheat germ and then 25% turtle pellet, it is supposed to help them shed. The turtle likes the pellets (and so do the goldfish). The uneaten pellets do not dissolve and dirty the water like cheaper pellets do!
