About Hikari
Hikari, the “originator” of Species Specific and premium aquatics diets has been copied by many, but our loyal customers know they can always depend on our products to offer their aquatic pets the finest in scientifically balanced nutrition. For almost 140 years we’ve spent considerable time exploring natural habitats of fish, breeding fish in our own facilities, producing diets in our own factories, processing every shipment through our own facilities and researching the impact our diets have over time. These unique insights into the nutritional needs of fish give a competitive advantage no other fish food maker can duplicate and allow us to produce species specific diets that will not only maintain your aquatic pets’ health, but assist you in keeping your aquarium or pond in top form.
We make the health and longevity of the fish and the aquatic environment they live in our first priority. Focusing on bringing about success to the hobbyist through exacting nutrition has allowed us to develop a brand name synonymous with superior quality. Consider using Hikari, because you love your aquatic pets as much as they love you!
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!

Best quality for money
I use it for feeding mollies and platys every other day. I previously used tetrafin brand which is mostly super dry and lot of dust. This one is mildly soft and easy for fish to eat. These are full worms. It is value for money and good quality. Fishes are more healthy, colorful and strong and breed like anything.

By Far the Favorite Food of All Our Fish – Very high in protein – Also, complete comparison with other Hikari foods
These blood worms are the all time favorite of our fish. I completely soak them in aquarium water and drop some in a little at a time. I typically use a small saucer of aquarium water for soaking and a small spoon to drop in a few worms at a time. Then I just pour in the remainder after most of the worms are gone from the saucer. Our fish gobble up these worms within seconds.Below, I’ve listed the entire nutrient content of the blood worm food.Also, to help you see the differences in some of the foods Hikari offers, I’ve written lists of nutrient content as they appear on some other product containers. I know, you will probably glaze over after a few moments due to all the scientific terms. However, my hope is that you can make educated decisions about which foods you want to purchase based on what I’ve recorded here. The six foods I listed below are products we actually use ourselves.First, there are a few things that I have noticed about the other foods I’ve listed:- Of all the Hikari products I’ve worked with, the blood worms contain the most protein (65%).- The algae wafers contain “bakery products.” I wanted to know exactly what the bakery products are, so I e-mailed Hikari about this. They wrote back and said the following: “This is a proprietary ingredient that we have identified as containing higher levels of lipids that fish can readily utilize and also offers an efficient carbohydrate component.”- The Hikari micro pellets contain monosodium glutamate. I really wanted to know why this is in their fish food (MSG typically has a negative reputation.) I e-mailed Hikari about this. They wrote back and said the following: “You must have an older package of the Micro Pellets as MSG has been removed from all of our products as a result of many concerns raised by US consumers. We have used this ingredient in the past, in very small amounts, as a flavor enhancing ingredient. As you may know, this is a commonly used human food ingredient in Asian markets and other parts of the world also. We have done extensive testing before including it (as is the case with any ingredient we use) and found no negative impact on the fish in the short term or long term.”Hikari Bio-Pure Freeze Dried Blood Worms for Pets, 0.42-OunceNOTE THIS WARNING ON CONTAINER! – ALLERGIC REACTION POSSIBLE, ALWAYS WASH HANDS IMMEDIATELY AFTER USEINGREDIENTSBlood worms, Vitamin E, L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (stabilized Vitamin C), thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin (Vitamin B2), pyridoxine hydrocholide, Vitamin B12 supplementGUARANTEED ANALYSISCrude Protein – Min 65.0%Crude Fat – Min 5.0%Crude Fiber – Max 3.5%Moisture – Max 6.5%Phosphorus – Max 0.1%Ascorbic Acid – Min 60 mg/kgRiboflavin – Min 20 mg/kgVitamin B12 – µ/kgAnd now, the other foods to compare with the blood worms:Hikari Bio-Pure Freeze Dried Spirulina Brine Shrimp Cubes for Pets, 0.42-OunceINGREDIENTS:Brine Shrimp, Spirulina, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12GUARANTEED ANALYSISCrude Protein – Min 48.0%Crude Fat – Min 5.5%Crude Fiber – Max 0.5%Moisture – Max 6.0%Phosphorus 0.1%Hikari Bio-Pure Freeze Dried Tubifex Worms for Pets, 0.78-OunceINGREDIENTS:Tubifex Worms, Vitamin E Supplement, L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (stabilized Vitamin C), thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin (Vitamin B1), pyridoxine hydrochloride, Vitamin 12 supplementGUARANTEED ANALYSISCrude Protein – Min 60.0%Crude Fat – Min 6.5%Crude Fiber – Max 0.3%Moisture – Max 6.0%Phosphorus – Max 0.1%Ascorbic Acid – Min 60 mg/kgRiboflavin – Min 20 mg/kgVitamin B12 – Min 2000 µ/kgHikari Usa Inc AHK21416 Mini Algae Wafers 3 -OunceINGREDIENTS:Fish meal, wheat flour, wheat germ meal, starch, dried seaweed meal, dried bakery product, dehydrated alfalfa meal, alfalfa nutrient concentrate dehydrated, brewers dried yeast, soybean meal, fish oil, krill meal, spirulina, garlic, DL-methionine, chlorella, astaxanthin, choline chloride, vitamin E supplement, L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (stabilized vitamin C), inositol, calcium pantothenate, riboflavin, vitamin A oil, thiamine mononitrate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, niacin, menadione sodium bisulfate complex (source of vitamin K), folic acid, vitamin D3 supplement, biotin, disodium phosphate, ferrous sulfate, magnesium sulfate, zinc sulfate, manganese sulfate, cobalt sulfate, calcium iodateGUARANTEED ANALYSISCrude Protein – 33%Crude Fat – 4.0%Crude Fiber – 3.0%Moisture – Max 10%Crude Ash – Max 17%Phosphorus – Min 0.8%Hikari Usa Inc AHK21108 tropical Micropellets 1.58-OunceINGREDIENTS:Fish meal, wheat flour, flaked corn, brewers dried yeast, gluten meal, krill meal, spirulina, hydrolyzed vegetable sucrose, dehydrated alfalfa meal, dried A niger fermentation extract, monosodium glutamate, garlic, rice bran, DL-methonine soybean meal, dried seaweed meal, astaxanthin, choline chloride, vitamin E supplement, L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (stabilized vitamin C), inositol, calcium pantothenate, riboflavin, vitamin A oil, thiamine mononitrate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, niacin, menadone sodium bisulfate complex (source of vitamin K), folic acid, vitamin D3 supplement, biotin, disodium phosphate, salt, ferrous sulfate, magnesium sulfate, zinc sulfate, maganese sulfate, cobalt sulfate, copper sulfate, calcium iodate, blue 2, blue 2 lake, red 3, yellow 5 (artificial colors)GUARANTEED ANALYSIS:Crude Protein – Min 42%Crude Fat – Min 4.0%Crude Fiber – Max 3.0%Moisture – Max 10%Crude Ash – Max 17%Phosphorus – Min 1.0%And for you betta owners:Hikari Usa Inc AHK19110 Betta Biogold 0.70-OunceINGREDIENTS:Fish meal, wheat flour, soybean meal, rice bran, gluten meal, starch, krill meal, wheat germ meal, brewers dried yeast, DHA oil, spirulina, dried seaweed meal, DL-methionine, garlic, astaxanthin, grape seed extract, choline chloride, vitamin E supplement, L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (stabilized vitamin C), inositol, calcium pantothenate, riboflavin, menadone sodium bisulfate complex (source of vitamin K), folic acid, vitamin D3 supplement, biotin, disodium phosphate, ferrous sulfate, magnesium sulfate, zinc sulfate, manganese sulfate, cobalt sulfate, calcium iodate, red 3 (artificial color)GUARANTEED ANALYSIS:Crude Protein – Min 38%Crude Fat – 4.0%Crude Fiber – 3.0%Moisture – Max 12%Crude Ash – Max 10%Phosphorus – Min 0.7%Enjoy caring for your fish!

Neat and easy to feed. My fish love them.
I use these for growing fish who need smaller, easy to consume foods before transitioning to larger pellets. Iâve gotten small, wild caught Oscars started on these and other foods.

Shayona –
Highly recommended for bettas
Quality is goodMinimum smellGood size for small fishHighly nutritiousWorks really good as they are whole worms
The delivery was amazing, but the product is not good enough for discus you will have to grind down the cubes to make it really small, the fishes struggle to break it down to small bites to eat. Might work for Oscar but not for discus –
I feed it to Discus and they are really healthy. This is a quality product nicely packed.
Mrs C. –
Good quality and large amount. Will definitely buy again.
Jessica Rose Simmonds –
They go crazy when I feed them this and i find them less enthused for their normal food LOL
K J –
my fish like these
Braeden M. –
they like these more than the frozen blood worms. There is no food they like better. I’m happy I bought the big container. I’m pretty sure I could have kept on feeding them but I know its bad to overfeed because some fish will just eat and eat if they really like it.
