Hikari Crab Cuisine 50g

Hikari Crab Cuisine is a scientifically formulated sinking crab food in a 50 g pack, made for hermit crabs, lobsters, crawfish and other aquatic scavengers. It supports healthy growth, shell development and natural coloration, and suits both freshwater and saltwater set-ups.

Key Benefits

• Balanced formulation with the nutrients crustaceans need for proper shell development, which gives them the defence they rely on against predators.
• Rapidly sinking stick that gives most bottom-feeding scavengers ready access to the food and allows extended feeding.
• Promotes proper growth and form, with a taste most bottom dwellers love.
• Naturally higher levels of colour enhancers help develop true coloration.

How to Use

• Lobsters, shrimp, underwater crawfish and other aquatic scavengers: drop the sticks into the tank and let them sink to the bottom, where scavengers can feed.
• Hermit crabs: offer the food in a clean, shallow dish once a week. Remove it from the enclosure after 24 hours.
• Take care not to overfeed. Always remove uneaten food after the feeding period, as leftovers can cause water quality problems that affect the health of your animals.

Dosage

• Lobsters, shrimp, underwater crawfish and other aquatic scavengers: 1-4 mini sticks twice a day, depending on the size of the animal.
• Hermit crabs: an amount equal to 2 grams of food (approximately a thimble full) for each hermit crab per feeding, once a week.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this food sink?
Yes. It is a rapidly sinking stick, so bottom-feeding scavengers can reach it easily and feed for longer.

How many sticks should I feed lobsters, shrimp or crawfish?
Feed 1-4 mini sticks twice a day, depending on the size of the animal. Remove any uneaten food after feeding.

How much should I give my hermit crabs?
Give each hermit crab an amount equal to 2 grams of food (approximately a thimble full) per feeding. Serve it in a clean, shallow dish once a week and remove it from the enclosure after 24 hours.

Can I use it in a saltwater tank as well as freshwater?
Yes. It can be used in both fresh and saltwater environments.

Why must uneaten food be removed?
Leftover food can cause water quality problems that affect the health of your animals. Take out whatever is not eaten after each feeding period, and avoid overfeeding.

Does it help with colour and shell development?
It is formulated with nutrients that support proper shell development and with naturally higher levels of colour enhancers that help develop true coloration.
