Semi-Floating Food
- Promotes proper feeding habits
- Reduces chances of over-feeding
- Reduces waste and saves money
For optimum results, feed daily as many times as possible, the amount your fish will completely consume within about a minute. Care should be taken to avoid over-feeding. Up to 10 feedings per day may be necessary depending on number of fry and activity level. For mid-water and bottom feeders allow Hikari First Bites to soak in a cup of aquarium water before feeding. This will cause the food to sink more rapidly allowing these fry better access.
Livebearers (ovoviviparous) can consume Hikari First Bites right after birth. Start feeding Hikari First Bites right before the yolk sack is fully consumed. Excess food can cause water quality problems which may result in heightened stress or serious illness. Feeding less food to be sure none is left after the feeding period is preferred to allowing uneaten food to settle to the bottom of your aquarium.
For additional feeding suggestions for your fry once they surpass Hikari First Bites, ask your aquatic retailer about other specialized diets from Hikari for all types of freshwater, marine, and pond pets too, from the leader in nutrition for aquatic pets!

I raise all and any fry on this with a high success rate, it’s also great for shrimp babies. A tiny bit goes a long, long, long way.

This food is great, not just for fry but fish that have just come in and are on the small side. This food is better to use in a small tank with low flow (quarantine or breeding) or there might be a lot of waste. The micro-predators love hunting the tiny flakes.

This food is extremely fine so absolutely good for fry. I mostly purchase fish online and they can come in very small – so I always like to keep this food on hand, just in case!
