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
🍽 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.

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 fee
