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!

My cichlids love them
I bought the wrong, my error. The pieces are too big for my fish but they like them just fine crunched up small enough.

For more than just cichlids
In my 55 gal tank I have a large Oscar, Jack Dempsey and 3 Red Hook Silver Dollars. After a long time of feeding them flakes and clouding the tank (more than it needs to be), I switched to these pellets and have no plans of going back. Even though my Red Hook’s aren’t cichlids, they devour these. My Oscar and JD love these pellets and do not like to share. I’ve also noticed considerable growth and more depth in color after switching. I like the fact they float and not get wasted. Definitely will try other Hikari pellet foods in the future. This is definitely a quality item!

A recommended Oscar food…
Quality Cichlid food that I feed my Oscars and Jack Dempsey. The youngest of the bunch is 5 years old so it must be working. I do prefer the red bag, color enhancing food sold by this company though.Here it is a few dollars cheaper than my local pet store.A word of caution: If this is your first order, or may want to go to a pet store and see the pellet size yourself. The large pellets are the size of small dog food so they won’t be for every fish. My Oscars are 13 and 15 inches long, so they don’t have any issues.
Lisa Lee –
I always buy this brand as it has the best ingredients for my Oscar, never had a problem with my fish not eating it as well as my cat fish! The price is good and the quality of feed keeps them healthy!
