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 fish food
Been using this for several years. The fish seem to really like it, they’ve grown quickly, they’ve always been healthy, and it doesn’t dirty the water. I use the Gold variety in the summer to maximize their color also.

Best pond food ever!
This is the best koi food ever! I feed it to my goldfish, some of whom grew in my pond from babies. They are thriving, and have lived for years. The water stays clear, and the fish are lively. I consider other pond food to be inferior.

Hikari Is My Koi’s Main Food
I go to staple for the nutrition basics for my Koi and Ryukin goldfish Pond. Hikari has several other options to bring your koi’s color out, a basic wheat for cool temperatures and easy digestion… I have a large backyard pond and I find that this is a good food for growing your koi large. I also like that they carry the 4+ pound bags. I don’t have to order as often. 5 stars even if it costs a little more

Keeps the fish alive
My fish are not dead.
Timothy Tran –
Superior quality
You can smell real fish from the pellets. Notice that the pellets are hard and medium sized, so the pellets are not for small fish. The first time my koi felt the food was a little strange compared to their soft pellets from the other brand, but they really like it a few days later. The food ingredients have high nutrients and Hikari is a very respectable manufacturer that you can trust.

Great air tight packaging for freshness

great koi food
My Koi love it and price seems reasonable compared to other brands. I just received it last week Thursday so i’ll have to write another review to see how this food helps out color wise for my Koi but so far so good, they all love it. This particular brand does have great reviews in Japan and so far majority of it stands true. I love that this is prime and received it timely :). I would definitely recommend this to other buyers as I cannot say enough great things about how much my Koi love this food.

Für kleine Fische nicht geeignet, diekönnen dieses Futter nicht schlucken. Was mache ich n nun ? Kann ich die Ware umtauschen?
