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! 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. 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. 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! Plecostomus can lose body mass over time when not fed properly. Most people think they can survive eating the algae in the aquarium exclusively, this couldn’t be farther from the truth. They require a nutrient mix that is high in vegetable ingredients, but also require specific amino acids, vitamins and minerals. For this reason, even if you chose to feed fresh vegetables, be sure a formulated diet, like Hikari Algae Wafers, is part of your offering. They also love to scrape their food from surfaces, like driftwood. For this reason our pellet is a disc shape which allows them to feed more instinctually. Feeding Guide: Many plecos are nocturnal feeders, keep this in mind when choosing when and how much to feed. Feed up to two times per day the amount of food your fish will completely consume within about an hour. Always remove any uneaten food after the feeding period and avoid over-feeding. Everyone loves to see a tang that is as healthy as can be. Many times they tend to lose body mass over time due to a lack of readily available food or others in the tank that get to it before they do. Hikari Algae Wafers is a perfect choice to provide them all the vegetable matter they require and the amino acids, vitamins and minerals too. Have your tangs looking like they just came off the reef in no time! Feeding Guide: Many tangs love to pick at their food over a longer period of time. Hikari Algae Wafers and Mini Algae Wafers are formulated to maintain their shape for an extended period of time to allow them to do exactly that. Feed once per day the amount of food your fish will completely consume within about 30 minutes. Always remove any uneaten food after the feeding period and avoid over-feeding. These fish require larger amounts of vegetable matter in their daily diet. Hikari Algae Wafers affords them a fantastic nutrient mix along with all the necessary amino acids, vitamins and minerals they require to live a long and health-filled life. Feeding Guide: Many larger herbivorous cichlids can be grazers. Hikari Algae Wafers are formulated to maintain their shape for an extended period of time to allow them to do exactly that or Mini Algae Wafers can be gobbled up readily if that is their preferred feeding habit. Feed twice per day the amount of food your fish will completely consume within about 5 minutes for direct feeding and more often daily for a longer period of time for grazing. Always remove any uneaten food after the feeding period and avoid over-feeding.
