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.
