Hikari Food Sticks Floating Fish Food is a scientifically formulated nutrient mix developed for top-feeding carnivorous fish whose main diet of live food tends to cause nutritional deficiencies. These Hikari Fish Food sticks tend to eliminate the need for live fish feed.
Hikari USA Food Sticks Floating Fish Food is made of quality ingredients that have high-quality added proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids without unwanted parasites and bacteria. It has a higher level of carotenoids that promote the development of brilliant colors, which is uncommon in carnivorous fish kept in an indoor aquarium void of natural sunlight. It contains stabilized vitamin C to support immune system health. The Hikari floating stick fish food is a highly flavorful, easily digested nutrient mix and absorbs water rapidly, taking on the texture of a live fish.
