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!

Great supplement for all fish
Hikari Bio-Freeze Dried Spirulina is a great supplemental feeding item for all the fish I have in my aquarium. My tiger, rosy, and cherry barbs all enjoy feeding on this product. It creates a feeding frenzy in my tank. I know that the Spirulina provides a myriad of health benefits for the fish. The remnants of the Spirulina that actually make it to the bottom of the tank are devoured by my corydoras. I feel better knowing that I’m providing my fish a healthy diet with Hikari Bio-Pure Freeze Dried Spirulina. The only downside is the price. However, I often purchase it through Amazon when they (the Spirulina) is available in a two-pack. I do recommend this product highly. It arrived quickly. It was packaged perfectly. I’m satisfied with the purchase.

My fish LOVE it!
I have a very picky female Apistogramma Panduro (Dwarf Cichlid) that will not accept any dry foods whatsoever. I don’t always have the time to prepare live/frozen foods, so I decided to give this a shot. I was expecting to have a difficult time getting her to eat them, but she devoured the shrimp immediately. All of my other fish/shrimp love these as well. They quickly became a big part of my community aquarium’s regular diet.Just drop a cube, or half of a cube (depending on how many animals you are feeding) in a small sealable container, add some water and let it soak up for awhile. Keep the leftovers in the fridge for up to a few days. Great stuff!

Great to soak up medication
I use this to soak up medication for internal parasites treatment, so the fish internally ingest the medication. Works like a charm. Packs weight onto the fish as well.

Good product
My fish enjoy this product. They’re a big fan of shrimp. I’m glad to be able to give them a variety between the normal brine shrimp and crushed shrimp. Easy to handle to and distribute to small fish to. A bit messy when it’s crumbled toward the end but doesn’t effect the product’s reception. The product becomes less ‘crisp’ as it gets older but aside from feel I cannot see any different reaction from my fish when eating it (and they will reject food if it’s not to their ‘liking’).

Betta loves it
My betta loves this food. He gets excited the moment he sees me pick it up. No more nasty pellets. And you get a lot for the price!!! Does not smell or dirty his tank. Nice large container. Arrived quickly

Take it or leave it
Having tried the entire product line, this is possibly the only Hikari freeze-dried fish food that I will not buy again, and would not recommend. Fish do not love it, and it makes quite the mess as the cubes dissolve. Don’t get me wrong: fish will ultimately eat it, however they’d rather have just about any other food, and there are many better options to keep on the menu for your fishy friends.

Awesome Product!
Absolutely love this product! ALL my fish gobble it up! I have 3 tanks and a small backyard pond with fish ranging from Angels, Dwarf Gourami, Dojo Loaches, Neon & Black Tetras, Gold Fish, Swordfins, Cory Cats, Guppies, Bettas, Shrimp, Dwarf Frong thing and Mystery Snails and all have been extremely happy to gobble it up.

A great addition to your fish food menu.
I have been feeding this to my baby zebra danios as another variety of baby food to give them diversity in diet. My baby danios are about 1/2 inch in length. It comes in large chunks that you can break pieces off of and crush up in your fingers to sprinkle on top of the water. My baby fish like it very much.
