About this product

Hikari sinking pellets for carnivorous fish are sold in a 2.2 lbs (1kg) pack. A mix of amino acids, minerals, vitamins, fats, carbohydrates and proteins is used, and the pellets sink fast in the water. Stabilized vitamin C is included, and carotenoids appear at higher levels than in a plain staple pellet. Each pellet delivers the nutritional equivalent of 1.8 live goldfish, and the food is free of parasites and bacteria common in live foods.

What goes into the sinking pellets
