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!

Blue Dream (and snail) Approved!
Been feeding this to my Neos, alongside ShrimpKing pellets, for over 6 months now. Happy to say that my original batch of 10 has multiplied! Snails are also thriving, and they seem to love the pellets more than the Neos.Some small gripes and cautions, the pellets will take a few seconds to float down to the bottom. To avoid a mess, what I do instead is use some planting tweezers to manually place pellets onto the feeding dish at the bottom of my tank.

I always prefer to feed my red cherry shrimps with this Hikari brand . Itâs the right kind that the shrimps canât resist .This seem to help them with their health coloring and molting process!

Shrimp love this stuff
I have bought different shrimp foods in the past from sera, fluval, and others. These are the only pellets my shrimp swarm to. I will keep buying these pellets for my shrimp.

Shrimp Love These
All fourteen of my shrimp come out for these. I feed them alongside a different type (pellets) and these by far are more popular. My shrimp have also deepened in color and look prettier.

shrimp and crayfish love it!!
My pleco loves it as well, and my mollies try to eat it all so ive had to make a feeder’s den so that only the little species can go inside to eat it. Love it!!

Didn’t get a full test in….
Unfortunately it didn’t seem like my shrimp were much interested in it in the brief time I used it, but there were other factors in play – so who’s to say why. I’ve heard good things about the brand and I’m holding onto it for the next shrimp tank.

TWO very important points
1. Is copper in large quantities dangerous for shrimp? Most definitely. Is a trace amount of copper safe for shrimp? Absolutely. Shrimp blood is copper-based unlike human blood. Consequently, they actually can benefit from a very small amount of it. Hikari is very well regarded for their high quality food so of course they’re not going to put dangerous amounts of copper in these pellets. I wish people would stop disparaging them for this reason.2. It is a great idea to use a feeding dish in a shrimp tank. When I place food in that dish, I use a piece of tubing to direct it into the dish. After the food disintegrates and it’s uneaten, you can suck it out with a turkey baster, thus preventing fouling up the tank by having the food fall down under the gravel. Any small dish will do. No need to spend a lot of money. The shrimp will learn to come to the dish very quickly.In conclusion, I believe this is a very high quality food and my shrimp can’t get enough of it.

Pratica la busta con la chiusura, il mangime si presenta in granuli affondanti, per ora le mie caridine sembra lo gradiscano molto.Non sporca eccessivamente l’acqua.

Excellent product. My shrimps love it and have improved colouration, molting without any problems and generally look healthier. Easy to use, sinks easily and does not pollute the water. Unfortunately, the fish love it too. I’m planning to buy a clear tube to make the pellets sink safely to the substrate, so that my fishes can’t eat it. Highly recommended. Just noticed there is a 75% price hike which makes it very expensive for 10 grams. I had bought it for Rs. 250, just 2 months back.
