Feeding Instructions
Hikari tropical sinking carnivore pellets are a scientifically designed food designed to give bottom feeding carnivores the nutrients they crave. These small pellets sink quickly, absorb water and soften into an attractive mass for your fish to enjoy. Plus, these pellets contain color enhancing ingredients which aid in active color development and retention in UV deficient environments.
These are an ideal choice for non-surface feeders such as catfish, sharks (polypterus), bichirs and eels. Furthermore, they offer higher usable protein levels compared to live foods, making them suitable even for picky eaters. To use them simply throw them in the aquarium where your fish will sink to the bottom to consume them. Feed two to three times daily until your fish finish in minutes – taking care not to overfeed. Carnivorous fish may initially resist trying a new type of food but with continued usage they will eventually accept it as part of their diet.
