Why Customers Choose Hikari
RESEARCH
We feel it's our duty to constantly investigate the natural ecology of fish to make the best food for them. Our exploration to Irian Jaya, Lake Malawi in Africa, Guiana highland, the Indian Ocean, the jungle of Southeast Asia and the Holy River Ayeyawady and others, offer us many secrets to fish health, coloration, breeding requirements, water conditions and quality.
SPECIES SPECIFIC DIETS
Hikari offers a wide variety of diets for different species of fish, each offering unique characteristics which enable it to be readily accepted by the specific fish it was developed for, which is where Species Specific originated. This attention to detail allows you to be confident your choice will be quickly devoured by even the most finicky eaters.
TECHNOLOGY
Our first hand experience breeding and raising fish, and the scientific data we can collect during this process, give us a clear road map for future product improvements and enhancements. Hikari uses actual experience and physical practice instead of marketing schemes or unproven theory to develop our premium aquatic diets!

All fourteen of my shrimp come out for these. I feed them alongside a different type (pellets) and these by far are more popular. My shrimp have also deepened in color and look prettier.

I always prefer to feed my red cherry shrimps with this Hikari brand . It’s the right kind that the shrimps can’t resist .This seem to help them with their health coloring and molting process!

My pleco loves it as well, and my mollies try to eat it all so ive had to make a feeder's den so that only the little species can go inside to eat it. Love it!!

1. Is copper in large quantities dangerous for shrimp? Most definitely. Is a trace amount of copper safe for shrimp? Absolutely. Shrimp blood is copper-based unlike human blood. Consequently, they actually can benefit from a very small amount of it. Hikari is very well regarded for their high quality food so of course they're not going to put dangerous amounts of copper in these pellets. I wish people would stop disparaging them for this reason.2. It is a great idea to use a feeding dish in a shrimp tank. When I place food in that dish, I use a piece of tubing to direct it into the dish. After the food disintegrates and it's uneaten, you can suck it out with a turkey baster, thus preventing fouling up the tank by having the food fall down under the gravel. Any small dish will do. No need to spend a lot of money. The shrimp will learn to come to the dish very quickly.In conclusion, I believe this is a very high quality food and my shrimp can't get enough of it.

Unfortunately it didn't seem like my shrimp were much interested in it in the brief time I used it, but there were other factors in play - so who's to say why. I've heard good things about the brand and I'm holding onto it for the next shrimp tank.

I've never seen all my shrimp come out to eat at once - so that's definitely a plus. I've tried the Hikari Crab Cuisine (for crustaceans), a few would eat it, but majority ignored it... and it's the same thing with Shirakura shrimp food... one or two will eat it, the rest thumb their noses at it. Guess they are not very hungry, so they must find a lot to eat in the tank. This Hikari Shrimp Cuisine is a big hit, though, with my red cherry shrimp. Apparently my shrimp are not jerks, like those of one reviewer... mine eat their food in the bowl and don't carry it off... :) ... so that the pellets are super tiny isn't a problem, they stay put in the bowl. What I do to get it in their bowl at the bottom of tank is to round hollow plastic tube that's about a 1/2' in diameter and insert this into the tank and down to the bowl. Then I take a little funnel that fits snugly the other end of the tube and I sprinkle some of the tiny pellets into the funnel. With a few taps of the tube on the bottom of the bowl, the pellets quickly sink down into the bowl. They sink a lot better than the Hikari Crab Cuisine pellets, which are MUCH bigger. I've noticed that they like to hang around in the area surrounding the bowl after they are done eating... they normally hide a lot in the plants, but they seem to be not hiding as much. Not sure why, maybe they are trying to say thank you for the Hikari Shrimp Cuisine, lol...

Excellent product. My shrimps love it and have improved colouration, molting without any problems and generally look healthier. Easy to use, sinks easily and does not pollute the water. Unfortunately, the fish love it too. I'm planning to buy a clear tube to make the pellets sink safely to the substrate, so that my fishes can't eat it. Highly recommended. Just noticed there is a 75% price hike which makes it very expensive for 10 grams. I had bought it for Rs. 250, just 2 months back.
