Hikari Tropical Micro Pellets
Hikari Tropical Micro Pellets are small (micro‑size) granulated pellets made for small‑mouthed tropical fish (e.g. tetras, barbs, small livebearers, etc.). Same formula, just different pack sizes
They are semi‑floating / slowly sinking (depending on thickness), with a “micro coating” that helps reduce nutrient leaching / water clouding.
📋 Specs / Guaranteed Analysis
These are the guaranteed nutritional specs for Hikari Tropical Micro Pellets (any of those pack sizes).
Component
Value
Crude Protein (min)
~ 43%
Crude Fat (min)
~ 7%
Crude Fiber (max)
~ 7%
Moisture (max)
~ 10%
Ash (max)
~ 17%
Phosphorus (min)
~ 1.1%
Also some added benefits:
Contains krill and spirulina to help coloration.
Softer texture; more acceptable for smaller fish mouths.
Micro‑coating helps preserve nutrients and reduces water clouding.
🎯 Pack Sizes & Use
The available pack sizes are:
22 g (≈ 0.77 oz).
45 g (≈ 1.58 oz).
80 g (≈ 2.82 oz).
Different pack sizes just let you scale depending on how many fish you have, how often you feed, etc. Larger packs reduce cost‑per‑gram but you need to use them before they lose quality (keep sealed, dry).
🍽 Feeding Instructions
Feed 2‑3 times per day. Give only what the fish can eat within a few minutes. Overfeeding can degrade water quality.
Remove uneaten food after feeding time to avoid waste, pollution.
Because of the softening / micro coating, pellets will sink slowly or hang a little — which gives small and mid‑level swimmers a chance.
👍 Advantages & 👎 Potential Drawbacks
Advantages:
Very good nutrition for small tropical fish: high protein, fat balanced, color enhancers.
Easier for small mouthed fish to eat (less need to crush flakes).
Micro coating helps reduce nutrient wastage and water clouding.
Multiple pack sizes give flexibility.
Drawbacks:
Soft pellets → if left too long they may disintegrate, contributing to water quality issues.
Even “micro” may be too big for extremely tiny fry; you might still need specialized fry food.
Cost is higher than basic flakes or generic tropical pellets.
If stored in high humidity or heat, quality degrades: pellets may get moldy, lose coating etc.
