Hikari Food Sticks

Product Description
Hikari Food Sticks are a scientifically formulated floating stick diet designed primarily for top‑feeding carnivorous freshwater fish such as arowanas, large predatory fish, and other surface‑feeding carnivores. This premium fish food blends high‑quality proteins, essential vitamins, amino acids like DL‑methionine and L‑lysine, and natural color‑enhancing ingredients to support rapid growth, strong body condition, and vivid coloration—especially in indoor aquariums where sunlight may be limited. The sticks are engineered to absorb water quickly and soften, offering a texture similar to live food without dissolving or clouding the water.

Key Features

• Balanced nutrition for carnivorous fish: Protein‑rich blend tailored to species that thrive on top feeding.

• Color enhancement: Contains carotenoids and other nutrients that help maintain vibrant hues even in low‑UV aquarium environments.

• Floating stick form: Easy for surface feeders to locate and eat; softens in water but retains shape.

• Highly digestible: Designed to reduce waste and help keep water clear.

• Supports immune health: Includes stabilized vitamin C and other essential nutrients.

Uses

• Daily primary diet for arowanas, Saratogas, oscars, snakeheads, and other large surface‑feeding carnivorous fish.

• Substitute for live foods, helping reduce the risk of parasites and bacterial infections common with feeder fish.

Feeding Tips
Feed 2–3 times daily, giving only the amount your fish can consume within a few minutes to avoid overfeeding. Remove any uneaten sticks after feeding to help maintain water quality.

Note
Because these sticks soften quickly in water and mimic the feel of live prey, they are often readily accepted by predatory fish that are reluctant to eat prepared diets
