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!

Nice to have when the water gets cold.
California here, but in the winter the water does get cold. The Hikari brand wheat germ is all I have ever fed them in the winter months. It is a bit more expensive, but top quality food. Always get the large floating and feed same to Koi and goldfish.Switch to Hikari gold and staple in the summer.

Good Cool Weather Food
I use this food in the cooler months of the year. My fish gobble it up.
M. Keith Martin –
Great Koi food
The first thing you want to check when buying koi food is the main source of protein. Corn is the absolute worst thing you can feed your koi but itâs the main ingredient in most commercial koi food but Hikari food always has something like krill or shrimp as their protein source and never corn, not even as a filler. A good food promotes steady growth, reduces ammonia and nitrites from waste and Hikari food always have ingredients that help bring out bright colors in your koi too.

Seems OK
Fish eat it but not like other food. Not sure why they do not go after it as fast as the other food.
Timi –
Très bon produit. Mes bébés poissons Koi lâaime beaucoup et câest lâimportant. Jâajoute ces boules de germes de blé à leur nourriture. Les indications à suivre sont bien détaillées sur lâemballage. Les indications sont inscrites en plusieurs langues, y compris en français. Très satisfaite.

Item arrived on time. The fish seem to like it which is what important. The pellets are really small, but I still have to crush some because my fish are lazy and prefer to catch the food as it sinks. The main thing is it is eaten and not left to float in the pond.
Lizzie Frankland –
My fish love it and it does not adversely affect my pond. Great product.
