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!

I bought her this daphnia one and the dried bloodworm one with the same brand for occasional treats. My betta girl really loves them! These daphnia flakes really makes my betta poop really easily. I mean she literally has more bowel movements than me! A downside though is that it can make the water turn kind cloudy after a few days of feeding so make sure to change the water often if that happens.

My Neocaridina shrimp absolutely love this food! They even swim to the top of the tank to eat it, which is something I haven't seen them do with other foods. It's clear that this product is high-quality and highly appealing to them. I highly recommend it to other shrimp keepers looking for a reliable and enjoyable food option for their pets.

My tropical fish like it, it is rotated in with other types of food and gives them some variation in their diet. Think about it. If someone only gave you the same food every day, would you like it? This helps give them some variation in their diet and they love it. It also seems to stay fresh for a long time which is good as there is a lot of it.

This product is so expensive, and it is so useless. There is no way that bettas will be interested in eating such dust-like particles. I have 5 bettas. Not a single Betta ate. Even Rosy red minnows who are vicious eaters, let it float. Never eats. This is complete powder. Oh man, could have bought frozen bloodworms instead of this. I don't know literally what to do with this. This at best can be fed to small top-level fishes. Maybe Amber tetras but not bettas. Absolute disappointment.

This product is not suitable for small or medium sized fishes like angels, gold fishes, discus fishes. This product is in the no returnable policy category and Amazon will not give you any refund for you. You can use this only for tiny fishes like very small babies. Not satisfied this product. Don’t buy it unless you have a very specific requirement. Most of my baby fishes in the farm is also not taking it. It’s in the fine powder form and it’s diluting in water soon and they can’t even see it!!! It’s a costly product it’s not worth for us. Contacted Amazon support regarding this but didn’t receive a positive response on this matter so far!!!

One of my betta fishes had been somewhat lethargic for a week or two now. Recently saw that his stomach is a little bloated, but he doesn’t show other signs of illnesses. I fed him this hikari daphnia today, which he ate and I observed that he has been swimming around more in his 5G tank compared to staying put in his betta log for the whole day.I guess he must have been constipated all this time and this helped him move more? I read that it’s some sort of a laxative for them.Delivery was prompt, product was inside a plastic seal, and the container is well sealed (can even hear the air coming out slowly after I pinched the seal). The container is bigger than I expected and is full, which is good.Just a heads up though, not all betta fishes will like this. I got a picky eater (koi male) who spits it out after having some. :)I think I’ll feed this to my betta fishes regularly.

Have some small top aquarium eaters. So this fish food is small enough and float long enough for them. Healthy enough to keep their colour vibrant.

One of my betta likes it but the other one don't want none of it :PSo it's a 50/50 chance if you fish will like it or not or maybe I just have betta that are picky

I have pigmy and Albino corydora, rummynose, otocinclus, porkchop rasbora, and neons. And they all go really crazy with this. It's kind of very fine and little lumps together and they flot instead of sinking right away. That is good for top to mid level fish. For the bottom feeders it's not really recommended as it won't reach the bottom in the water flow. But Overall my fish loved it so much so I'm.

None of my fish/amphibians are interested in these. I can't say if thats a reflection on this brand or Daphnia in general. These are loose in the container with a hole to pour them out. This makes it difficult to control the flow of the food and (accidental) overfeeding is a problem unless i am extremely careful. I wish these were packaged in cubes like the brine shrimp. With those i can just crumble off a small piece.

I bought this for my betta since all I was feeding him was betta pellets which he likes, and freeze dried blood worms as a treat. Wanted to give him more variety. He loves the daphnia, it is like a fine powder and it is supposed to help with digestion. He has been doing great and loves the daphnia more than the blood worms. A large container for a great price. Am happy as he is happy.
