Once your fish has become familiar with vinegar eels and micro worms, you can advance to Grindal worms and white worms as additional feeder insects. Both varieties can be purchased at reptile stores or cultured at home to provide your fish with protein as well as additional vitamins and minerals.

Containing high grade marine proteins to promote unparalleled growth rates. Spirulina and Astaxanthin provide vivid color enhancement, while garlic and other ingredients attract even the finickiest eaters. Slow sinking pellets allow fish at all levels to feed simultaneously; soften quickly for even smaller fish to get their share. Improves water quality over flake foods by decreasing overfeeding risks that could otherwise arise and by improving overall water quality by decreasing potential problems related to overfeeding.
Available in 1.58-oz sizes.
Made in Japan.
Ingredients used include fish meal, corn meal, wheat flour, soy meal, shrimp meal, fish oil, garlic cloves, spirulina algae and lecithin.
High-Grade Marine & Vegetable Proteins
Smallfood’s fish meal ingredient utilizes a patented process to break down protein fragments into their molecular components, making them easier for fish to digest and absorb. This results in more complete amino acid profiles as well as higher blood concentrations of essential amino acids when compared with standard pellet diets (PL or FM diets).
Research has demonstrated that various dietary proteins have an adverse impact on gut microbiota, leading to decreased performance in fish fed plant-based diets4,9. This could be because plant proteins contain antinutrition factors (e.g. phytate, saponins and lectins) which interfere with digestion and absorption of amino acids.
Hikari Tropical Micro Wafers provide fish of all sizes with an alternative to flake food that allows them to easily see what they’re consuming and avoid overfeeding, which could otherwise create water quality issues. Furthermore, St-Onge noted that their ingredients tend to be more stable compared with similar extruded products on the market.
Superior Color-Enhancing Capacity
Small wafers suitable for feeding all small to medium sized tropical fish to produce exceptional color enhancement, ideal for community tank environments due to their unique floating then sinking characteristics. High grade marine and vegetable proteins to facilitate fast acceptance, efficient digestion and superior utilization. Also features garlic to attract picky feeders. Hikari’s superior color-enhancing capacity is realized through using pure-cultured spirulina rich in natural pigmentation to promote natural coloring and development in aquarium fish. Furthermore, its easy feeding system means no overfeeding will occur and will not dissolve into the water, while softening quickly enough that even small fish can take advantage of this premium diet produced with quality ingredients in Hikari facilities.
Improved Water Quality
Hikari’s original micro wafer, designed specifically to be eaten by most tropical fish species, makes a delicious daily diet choice. Ideal for feeding to tetras, livebearers, African or smaller American cichlids and catfishes alike – perfect for floating then sinking aquarium environments! Packed with marine and vegetable proteins to promote ready acceptance and assimilation as well as superior nutrient utilization by aquatic life; plus its abundant Spirulina and Astaxanthin content enhance vibrant color not possible through other foods; while its slow sinking makes it easy to monitor consumption by fish as well.
Hikari Premium Protein Food offers unmatched growth rates. Crafted in Japan using Hikari’s state-of-the-art facilities to maintain consistency. Not dissolved into water easily and improved water quality over flake foods by being easier to avoid overfeeding.
Ready Acceptance
Hikari created this miniature (micro) wafer to meet the needs of most tropical fish species, with high-grade marine and vegetable proteins helping promote easy consumption, efficient digestion, and enhanced nutrient utilization. Spirulina and Astaxanthin were added for vivid color enhancement not achievable through competitive food. With its floating then sinking action making feeding monitoring easier while softening quickly so even smaller fish could enjoy this superior diet. Furthermore, its floating then sinking action means better water quality as compared to flake food which disperses into dispersion into dispersions as it won’t disperse out into dispersion from dispersion into aquariums or won’t float away like flake food would.
Definition of Ready is defined as a milestone at which a Product Backlog item is ready for acceptance testing or PPS Acceptance Testing to occur, but hasn’t been fully implemented and integrated yet.
