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!

Bought the mini wafers for our paludarium. Our 3 nano shrimp and hillstream reticulated loach began devouring after it softened up within an hour! They definitely have a preference for the algae wafers than the biofilm that grows. Would remove within a few hours otherwise if you have a current, it begins flowing around.

My catfish loves these algae pellets. It goes crazy when I drop one into its tank every morning. And my catfish look to be happy and healthy.

These are very small and my shrimp absolutely love them. The size is a little awkward though because one is just big enough for one or two shrimp, but no one taught my shrimp how to share so I have to break it into even smaller pieces so they can all get some. I would probably buy a bigger size next time, but these work perfectly regardless.No mess, sinks immediately, and my shrimp go crazy for them.

J'avais acheté ça pour complémenter à l'occasion mes otocinclus car ils ont nettoyé mon bac de fond en comble, mais il ne les mangent pas.

I have had to break wafers up for various aquariums in the past but with these they are small enough that they work well as is. My bottom dwellers and guppies love these. They are very clean and don’t make the water cloudy.

I bought these with our otocinclus algae eaters in mind. Well, our guppies love these wafers and they tend to get most of the food. (This is ok because I also put fresh zucchini in the tank.) Our guppies will swarm around the wafers which is really fun to watch. As for the otocinclus, I put a wafer in an ornamental cave and they get a chance to get some of the food as well. I'm pretty amazed by how much or fish really love this stuff. I shouldn't be surprised though... Hikari is synonymous with quality.- The algae wafers contain "bakery products." I wanted to know exactly what the bakery products are, so I e-mailed Hikari about this. They wrote back and said the following: "This is a proprietary ingredient that we have identified as containing higher levels of lipids that fish can readily utilize and also offers an efficient carbohydrate component."Below are some more specifics about the content of this food:INGREDIENTS:Fish meal, wheat flour, wheat germ meal, starch, dried seaweed meal, dried bakery product, dehydrated alfalfa meal, alfalfa nutrient concentrate dehydrated, brewers dried yeast, soybean meal, fish oil, krill meal, spirulina, garlic, DL-methionine, chlorella, astaxanthin, choline chloride, vitamin E supplement, L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (stabilized vitamin C), inositol, calcium pantothenate, riboflavin, vitamin A oil, thiamine mononitrate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, niacin, menadione sodium bisulfate complex (source of vitamin K), folic acid, vitamin D3 supplement, biotin, disodium phosphate, ferrous sulfate, magnesium sulfate, zinc sulfate, manganese sulfate, cobalt sulfate, calcium iodateGUARANTEED ANALYSISCrude Protein - 33%Crude Fat - 4.0%Crude Fiber - 3.0%Moisture - Max 10%Crude Ash - Max 17%Phosphorus - Min 0.8%
