My cichlids have shown much brighter colours since switching to this food. The pellets sink well and are easy to feed. My fish seem more active and healthy.

Good quality food that keeps my fish fed and vibrant. The sinking pellets work well in my tank setup. A little more protein than I expected, which is great for active fish.

I’ve tried several brands, but Hikari stands out for its colour enhancement. My fish look more vivid and are eating well. The pellets dissolve slowly and don’t clump.
