Hikari Lionhead Mini

Hikari Lionhead Mini

Hikari Lionhead Mini is a sinking goldfish pellet food made as a daily diet for all types of premium-grade and fancy goldfish. It is designed to support growth, true lionhead form and long-term health, without the parasite and bacterial risks that come with live foods. It suits keepers of Orandas, Lionheads, Azumanishiki and Ranchu, in ponds and other goldfish set-ups.

Key Benefits

• A live food alternative for fancy goldfish. The formulation promotes growth and the desirable, true lionhead form that was previously not possible without feeding live foods.
• Avoids the risks of live food. Live foods typically bring parasite and bacterial issues with them, and this diet is designed to give you the results without that risk.
• Made for colour. Pure-cultured spirulina and shrimp meal provide easily assimilated, natural carotenoids that help your goldfish develop superior brilliance and luster.
• Bio-technology behind the formula. It is a sinking, daily diet developed for superior coloration, outstanding form and excellent long-term health.
• Sinking pellet that stays intact. The pellets do not dissolve, so they do not cloud your water.

How to Use

Feed carefully, giving only the amount your fish will completely consume within a few minutes. Adjust the portion to suit your water temperature, the condition of your pond and the activity level of your fish. Water temperature changes with the seasons, so check how readily your goldfish are eating and adjust the portion as conditions change. It is designed to be used as a daily diet.

• All types of premium-grade or fancy goldfish
• Especially Oranda, Lionhead, Azumanishiki and Ranchu
