Hikari 8.8oz Cichlid Bio-Gold & Floating Pellets (Medium)

Overview

The Hikari 8.8-ounce Cichlid Bio-Gold and Floating Pellets are crafted for medium-sized cichlids, offering a convenient, floatable feeding format paired with a nutrition-forward blend. The pellets stay on the water surface long enough for you to gauge how much your fish consume, making feeding sessions easier to monitor and adjust. The formula includes Hikari Germ probiotic microorganisms, designed to support digestive processes and better use of the nutrients in the mix. A stabilized vitamin C component helps maintain potency over time, contributing to a steady, color-focused diet without rapid nutrient degradation.

• Contains Beneficial Probiotic Living Microorganisms – Hikari Germ – to support digestion and nutrient uptake.
• Better utilization of nutrients can lead to less waste output and cleaner water during feeding.
• Stabilized vitamin-C resists degradation, helping to preserve this component over time.

Real-life use and practical tips

In busy home aquariums, the floating format provides a natural way to observe feeding behavior and portion intake. The medium pellet size is well suited for mid-size cichlids, fitting into daily meal routines without overwhelming the fish. The combination of probiotic action and stable nutrients is designed to work together during a typical feeding window, potentially allowing your fish to make the most of the color-enhancing components.

Feeding guidance
