Hikari Tropical Fancy Guppy

Description

Hikari Tropical Fancy Guppy

  • It’s a scientific diet for livebearers (guppies, mollies, platies, swordtails etc.), developed by Hikari

  • Available in a small micro‑pellet (22 g) and a bulk size (1 kg)

  • These pellets are very small (“miniature”) so that small‑mouthed fish can eat them easily. 

🧪 Nutritional and Technical Features

Feature Details
Guaranteed Analysis About 50% crude protein minimum, 8% crude fat minimum, max 2% fiber, max 10% moisture, max 18% ash, min 1.0% phosphorus. 
Special Ingredients Includes krill (for natural colour via astaxanthin), seaweed (source of iodine), chitosan, and stabilized vitamin C to enhance colour, immune function, reproduction, and general fish health. 
Pellet behaviour The pellets soften quickly in water but do not dissolve; have a micro‑coating to reduce nutrient leeching and to avoid clouding of the water. Pellets sink (slowly) or are semi‑floating so fish at different levels can feed.

🍽 Feeding Instructions & Use

  • Frequency: Feed two to three times per day, giving only what the fish can consume in a few minutes. 

  • Remove uneaten food to avoid overfeeding and deterioration of water quality. 

  • Good as a daily staple feed — though as with many fish, some variation or live/frozen treats can be beneficial. It supports breeding, colour, growth. 

👍 Advantages & Weaknesses

Good Points Potential Drawbacks
Very high protein for its type; good colour enhancers; ingredients for immune support. Cost can be higher compared to simpler feeds, especially in bulk or depending on the retailer.
Miniature pellets are easy for guppies / livebearers to eat. Because they're softening quickly, feedings must be monitored so food doesn’t degrade water if left too long.
Micro‑coating helps preserve nutrition; less water pollution. If fish are extremely small (fry), even these pellets might need to be crushed or supplemented with finer/fry‑specific food.

💡 Practical Tips

  • Store it in a dry, cool place and seal the packet tight — moisture could spoil the pellets or reduce their shelf life.

  • When introducing new fish or in a new tank, watch their reaction — if they refuse, try moistening the pellet or cutting into smaller pieces.

  • For breeding: since it supports reproduction, good water conditions + quality food like this helps. But ensure varied diet too (e.g. live or frozen foods, if feasible).

  • For fry: the 22 g might be usable if crushed / small enough, otherwise a dedicated fry food may be better.
