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!

Pearl scale goldfish
This is the only thing I feed my pearlscale goldfish(for the most part) and he’s going strong for over a year now. I will say, if your fish is a pale white, this food will turn the white into more of a yellow. It will go back to the pale fleshy white color once you switch to another food.But I’m not complaining about that, I think it looks better and more alive now that it’s more yellow.Overall: 10/10 staple food, all you need for goldfish

Really is easy to digest
I switched my two baby (6 month old) goldfish to this food from omega 1 flakes because they were getting constipated almost every day and Hikari’s big selling point is that their food is easy to digest. It took a week or so to transition the babies from flake food to pellets, but after a few weeks on this food, they’re no longer getting constipated.

Great staple food for goldfish
I have a black moor and an oranda goldfish and they love this food. My only complaint is that it’s not a fast sinking pellet so they do have to come to the surface for it, which could potentially run the risk of them swallowing air. But I do mix it with a couple other hikari pellets , so by the time they are done eating the others, these pellets have sank as well. This food has great ingredients for growing healthy, colorful, and happy fish. Great value too, a bag of this will last me months!

little pellets
the pellets were smaller than I thought they would be but still a good size for the fancy gold fish I have. I have noticed since purchasing this product a dramatic change in the vibrancy of my fishes scales as well. excellent product.

Doesn’t Make the Water Cloudy
I like the smaller bags because it’s less food on the floor if one of my kids drops the bag (which has happened). I also like this fish food because it does not make the water cloudy. I tried flakes and another brand of pellets, and both caused my water to become cloudy after only one day.
