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!

These little pellets are just the right size and they stay floating for a good long while so Benjamin Bubbles can easily locate them. He eats them readily and seems quite happy with them. I did a bit of google searching to make sure I was purchasing the best I could for the little guy, and these seem to be perfect. I appreciate the packaging as well, it makes it easy to carefully distribute the food without making a mess.

Other pellets were too big. Perfect size and easy way to ensure only a few added at a time. Highly recommend!

An item with a design that hasnt changed in over 20 years. And it works. Easy to portion, not easy to spill it all over. Fish eats it, but was not eating the flake food. So that'a good too. At time of writing, it was 14$ CAD. That is too much in my opinion. Shop around and see what happens.

Tolles Futter, nicht ganz preiswert, aber sehr ergiebig. Wird von meinen Bettas sehr gut angenommen.

I am an avid fish keeper. I recently purchased a Betta for my office at work, and the ONLY food I could find in the Pet store was Tetra Betta. The first ingredient in this food is wheat, followed by gluten. In fact, Fish Meal is the SEVENTH ingredient!!! This is what you are buying when you pick up fish food from big box stores. This is absolutely unacceptable! You will be left with a sad, dull looking Betta.Now lets take a look at Hikari (I also use New Life Spectrum. Hikari is notorious in the fish world for having superior food than other leading brands. Yes, it is slightly more expensive, but fish meal is the FIRST ingredient listed. This makes a HUGE difference in fish nutrition. As a result, you will be left with a more vibrant, happy, healthy, and active fish friend. The pellets are also a lot smaller and easier to eat. Bettas are able to swallow the food whole instead of spitting it back up, which leads to less waste at the bottom of the tank (ie, less ammonia spikes, less risk of death/disease). They are also suitable for fry/smaller betas. My betta also prefers the taste over other brands.This is the steak of fish food, tetra being a slice of white bread.I uploaded a picture of the ingredients, as well as a side by side of the food (larger pellet is tetra)

I have tried EVERY possible Betta food imaginable. Every. Single. Kind.And honestly,... this micro-granule formula 'Bio-Gold' by Hikari, is the BEST.A Betta can be picky. Male, female, big/small, fry/juvenile... this is my personal steadfast fail-safe. I've crushed it up even for my Guppy babies, because it continues to float even when crushed for far longer than any flake food.And floats a long time for my Bettas and if they're a little piglet like some of mine have been and insist on stuffing their face with a multitude of these pellets, it's no biggie because they're small enough they don't choke. And if they're picky/finicky, or have a small mouth, these are nice sized niblets.They seem tasty to my fish and the nutritional value is there. I add in some snipped-up freeze-dried Bloodworms now & again as a treat (usually after a water change... seems to keep them calmer if they have a treat after the upset), but that's it. My fish are of brilliant colour and have happy personalities and happy tummies. Can't go wrong with this product.Though! Unless you have a multitude of fish needing these pellets, a little goes a long way. It's far better to buy a small batch and re-order before you run our so that the food is always fresh & palatable (or order 2 small ones at once... or a large one and seal it in small containers to maintain freshness).That's the only time my guys won't it it is when I've over-stocked and it's gone stale.Hope this helps! 2 thumbs-up from me & my finned friends!

I have used this Betta food exclusively and always have great success with bettas. They live 3-4+ years and seem very healthy. (And I use little 1/2 gallon tanks with no heaters or filters! Not ideal, I know, but I do frequent water changes.)My favorite things about the food are: 1) the pellets are very small and easy to eat, even for young bettas (most betta pellets are way too big), and 2) the pellets ALWAYS float. Even if they get bumped, almost eaten, etc. and go below the surface of the water, they pop back up to the top and eventually get eaten. The pellets have to be in the water for a long time to actually sink, and that hardly EVER happens.I feed my bettas several times per day, but only a few pellets at a time. (3-6 pellets per feeding.) I also supplement with dried blood worms and other freeze-dried betta treats. And in the summer, any fruit flies I catch in the kitchen become live betta food, which they gobble right up.I actually love the packaging. The food stands nicely right next to the tank, and it is super-easy to dispense just a few pellets, and put extras back in if I get out too many. I don't know what a few people are complaining about, regarding the packaging. It is a great design.I have had such good results with this food that when my local PetSmart didn't seem to carry it any more, I ordered it from amazon. Got it in two days. I will never switch and will continue to feed the Hikari Betta Bio-Gold. Highly recommended.
