Hikari Marine-S Pellets Fish Food for Smaller Marine Fish

I’ve tried all different types of brands and this food is the best all around food for your fish! It’s soft and and doesn’t sink fast. All of my small fish can eat it very easily, as compared to other pellets that they may just spit out.

These Hikari Marine-S Pellets are like the gourmet sushi of the fish food world. My clownfish now give me the VIP wave every time I approach the tank—total rockstar treatment. The pellets are just the right size for their tiny fishy mouths, and I swear they're swimming faster and showing off more since starting this diet. Bonus: no fishy smell, so your kitchen won't feel like a pier. It's like meal prep for fish with zero effort! Highly recommend if you want happy, well-fed, and slightly smug marine buddies.

Food is excellent

Only problem is once they reach area where water filter releases water, they have a tendency to sink at that point, and sink fast. If not, I'd definitely give 5 stars seeing as how much the fishes love them.Backstory: My niece's fishes stopped eating brime shrimp. Tried flakes first (wasn't my preferred choice and brand, but her brother wanted them), and they'll tolerate those but only really eat if they're really hungry. Finally tried these (hikari I've always liked and trusted back when I myself had an aquarium) and they very happily gobble these up.

My fish love this stuff, and it's actually small unlike some other foods that claim to be small, but have larger pellets mixed in.

I get it ready and use a pipe to draw it out mixing it with the tank water in a small cup...mixes so much faster than just leaving it in a cup to set. Works very well.

My fish went bonkers over the pellets…. They are super teeny tiny so you have to watch what you put in for overfeeding…BUT, we fed a “pinch” last night and everything was eaten and then I purposely overfed this morning to see what happened. The results are that these stink really fast so for my bottom feeders and sifters this will be great since they do not go up for the flakes and Mysis/brine shrimp that stay in the water column longer. Even my starfish came up out of the sand to dine on the pellets. Despite their small size you can see how they turn sponge-like and do not cloud the water. I have enough CUC to not worry about overfeeding once but would not do that often. I am going to experiment target feeding my starfish with some rehydrated pellets next!

Fish love it.
