Hikari Micro Pellets specifically designed for tetras, barbs, and other small-mouthed tropical community fish

Hikari Micro Pellets are a premium, multi-colored daily diet specifically designed for tetras, barbs, and other small-mouthed tropical community fish. They feature a unique semi-floating, micro-coated design that locks in nutrient integrity, prevents water clouding, and yields a soft texture that is highly palatable for nano aquarium inhabitants.

Key Features & Benefits

Micro-Coating Technology: Eliminates nutrition loss from dissipation into the water column and keeps the aquarium water clean.

Color Enhancement: Infused with a balanced blend of krill and spirulina to naturally promote vivid fish coloration.

High Visibility: Precisely colored granules are easy for fish to spot underwater, which encourages rapid acceptance and leaves less uneaten waste.

Specifications & Feeding Guidelines

Granule Size: Approximately 0.5 mm, ensuring a consistent grain size compared to average flakes or rough granules.

Primary Ingredients: High-quality fish meal, krill meal, cuttlefish meal, spirulina, and seaweed meal.

Feeding Schedule: Feed 2 to 4 times daily. Only provide what your fish can completely consume within a few minutes, and always skim off any leftovers to preserve water quality.

Target Fish Species

Ideal Match: Perfect for medium-to-large nano fish including neon tetras, cardinal tetras, guppies, endlers, celestial pearl danios, harlequin rasboras, and white cloud mountain minnows. Bottom feeders like pygmy corydoras, as well as shrimp and snails, will also readily eat them once they settle.

Important Constraint: These pellets feature a faster sinking speed than some competitors once they break the surface. They are generally not recommended for ultra-tiny nano fish (such as chili rasboras or other Boraras species) because their mouths are too small to swallow the 0.5mm granules whole before they hit the substrate.
