Hikari Tropical Micro Pellets

Hikari Tropical Micro Pellets

Hikari Tropical Micro Pellets are a daily-diet fish food for small-mouthed tropical fish such as tetras and barbs. These multi-coloured, granulated micro pellets are made to deliver complete everyday nutrition and support vivid colouring in freshwater community aquariums.

Key Benefits

• Unique "Micro Coating" designed to prevent nutrition loss and water clouding, helping keep your aquarium water clearer.
• Premium-select marine and vegetable protein mix, well suited to small tropical fish that need larger energy reserves.
• A balance of krill and spirulina to bring out vivid coloration.
• Precisely coloured granules that improve underwater visibility, so fish find and accept the food more quickly and less food is left uneaten.
• Softer texture that suits most smaller community tank fishes.
• Developed, produced and packaged in the manufacturer's own facilities for consistent Hikari quality.

How to Use

Scatter the pellets over the water surface and let your fish feed. Take care not to overfeed, as excess food can lead to water quality problems. This is especially important in smaller, heavily stocked tanks.

Dosage

• Feed two to three times daily.
• Give only the amount your fish will completely consume in a few minutes.

Suitable For

• Tetras
• Barbs
• Other small-mouthed tropical fish
• Smaller community tank fishes, thanks to the softer pellet texture

Please Note

These pellets contain higher levels of natural ingredients, which may cause a slight change in colour from one production lot to another. Each package is made to meet the manufacturer's nutritional specifications.
