Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Hikari Discus Bio-Gold suitable for finicky discus eaters?
+
Hikari Discus Bio-Gold is formulated with natural ingredients like krill and silkworm pupae, which are highly palatable to discus. These ingredients promote ready acceptance, even by the most finicky eaters. The pellets are designed to become soft and sponge-like upon absorbing water, mimicking the texture of live food, which encourages feeding in discus known for their selective eating habits.
How does Hikari Discus Bio-Gold enhance the coloration of discus fish?
+
This food utilizes bio-chemically synthesized color-enhancing carotenoids to develop vivid, natural coloration without negatively impacting the bluish tones of discus. The inclusion of these carotenoids, along with other natural color enhancers, helps in bringing out the vibrant colors of discus fish safely and effectively.
Is Hikari Discus Bio-Gold a suitable alternative to live foods?+
Yes, Hikari Discus Bio-Gold offers a balanced combination of premium, natural ingredients and lipids that promote desirable form and growth previously only available using live foods. It provides the benefits of live food without the potential risks of parasite infestation or excessive odor and mess, making it a safe and convenient alternative.
What is the recommended feeding regimen for Hikari Discus Bio-Gold?+
For best results, feed smaller amounts more often instead of two feedings daily. Turning down the water flow during feeding can be beneficial, as it allows the sinking pellets to settle and be more accessible to the fish. It's important to remove any uneaten food after the feeding period to maintain water quality and prevent health issues.
Can Hikari Discus Bio-Gold be fed to other fish species besides discus?
+
While specifically formulated for discus, Hikari Discus Bio-Gold is also ideal for other tropical fish species that require higher protein levels, such as angelfish, Apistogramma, and dwarf cichlids. Its nutritional profile supports the dietary needs of these species, promoting healthy growth and vibrant coloration.
