Hikari Marine Seaweed Extreme

Hikari Marine Seaweed Extreme

Hikari Marine Seaweed Extreme is a marine fish food in pellet/wafer form, developed as a supplemental diet for all types of marine herbivores. It contains more than 67% natural seaweed, which makes it a practical choice for reef and marine aquarium keepers who want to support the growth, immune health and coloration of their herbivorous fish.

Key Benefits

• Contains more than 67% natural seaweed, and is described by the manufacturer as the world's first pellet/wafer with this much natural seaweed.
• Highly aromatic, so it quickly attracts herbivorous species to feed.
• Softens rapidly in water to a texture similar to wet Nori algae.
• Makes the move from Nori algae to a prepared food simple.
• The nutrient mix supports rapid growth and immune system health, and helps maintain coloration.
• Also suits most omnivorous species as a supplemental diet.

How to Use

• Drop the pellet/wafer into the aquarium and let your fish feed on it as it softens.
• It absorbs water rapidly and takes on a soft, wet-Nori-like texture, which makes uneaten food difficult to remove. To avoid overfeeding, start with smaller feedings and build up until you find the right amount for your particular mix of fish.
• If your fish are used to Nori algae, they should take to this food easily. It is recommended as a daily diet for all types of marine herbivores.

Dosage

• Feed no more than your fish will consume within two minutes.
• Feed two to three times each day.

Suitable For

Frequently Asked Questions

Which fish can I feed this to?
It is made for all types of marine herbivores. It is also a suitable supplemental diet for most omnivorous species, including clownfish, damsels and butterflyfish.

How often should I feed it?
Feed two to three times a day, giving only what your fish will eat within two minutes.

Why does the food get so soft in the water?
It is designed to absorb water rapidly and take on a texture like wet Nori algae. This is what makes it appealing to herbivores. It also means uneaten food is hard to remove, so begin with small portions.

My fish are used to Nori algae. Will they accept this?
The manufacturer describes the transition from Nori algae as a snap. The food is highly aromatic and softens quickly, which helps draw herbivorous fish to it.

Is it normal for the colour to differ between packs?
Yes. The high level of natural ingredients can cause a slight colour change from one production lot to another. Each package is still made to meet the manufacturer's nutritional specifications.

How do I avoid overfeeding?
Start with smaller feedings and increase gradually until you find the right amount for your fish. Never give more than they finish in two minutes.
