What a difference a good food can make. I've had my aquarium set up for a couple of years now, I have tried a lot of different brands and types of goldfish Food, and some were better than others, but nothing was really noticeably different, the goldfish will devour anything you give them, and they all claimed to be the best and healthiest option. But then I noticed this brand (Hikary) in my local fish/aquarium store, but at first I didn't give it a second look, cause the store is owned and ran by Asians, so I thought it's just another brand, maybe that the Asian clientele recognizes. And also the store owner really recommended I buy the Cobalt brand, cause he said that is the only brands that has Probiotics in the food, which is good for digestion. So I've been using that brand for a long time. But then I noticed the Hikary brand here on desertcart, so I started reading reviews, and figured I have to at least try it, given the rave reviews it got from almost everyone. So I bought a small bag (3.5 oz.) to try, and WOW, what a difference! My fish look better, nicer colors, and most surprising of all is, that my little panda goldfish that I've had for over a year, and didn't really grow at all this whole time. Started growing with this food, but a lot, he is noticeably bigger after just a month on this food. I thought that maybe his type doesn't get bigger since he didn't grow at all for more than a year. But I guess he just wasn't getting the necessary nutrients to grow properly. So after seeing this, I'm sold. I've already ordered from desertcart a big bag (12.3 oz) and I'm staying with this food only (and of course twice a week green peas) So if your thinking of trying this, or if your a beginner and your not sure what brand of food to get. Do yourself a favor and buy this brand Review: Quality Fish Food - Update: Saying my fish were half grown was a bit of an understatement. They were tiny little babies compared to what they are now. I've also added a few more. Considering these things, I can no longer get a year out of one of these bags. But at least three months for about 5 or 6 LARGE fancy goldfish, more in the fall and winter when the house is cold (my tank is unheated). Also, despite the fact that my tank is a bit overstocked, I rarely have problems keeping the water both clear and within healthy parameters. Part of that is filtration but I'm sure this great food helps too. Many of my fish are over six years old and they've been eating this food since I bought them. They are healthy and have good colors. Highly recommended food for fancy goldfish. Oh, I should also mention that my goldfish are not of the lionhead variety and this food serves them well. A couple of my new ones are oranda types but I'm not sure this has done much to promote head growth, though they were just cheap pet store hybrids so maybe they didn't have much to work with genetically in the first place. But anyway, good food for all fancy types and even feeding a young koi I'm babysitting (though he is quickly out growing the aquarium on this food since he's much faster than the fancy goldfish) Original: I've fed my goldfish this food since I got them. They're all healthy and vibrant. I've read this is just about the best food you can buy for them with out going and making/mixing it yourself. One bag has also lasted a very, very long time. I have 4 half-grown fancy goldfish and I can probably get nearly a year out of this bag. ## Features - Sinking pellet that will not cloud water - High in stabilized vitamin C - Promotes true lion head form - Promotes incredible colors that won't fade over time - All types of premium grade or fancy goldfish, especially Orinda, Lion head, Azumanishiki and Ranchu ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001AMHP4Q | | Age Range (Description) | All Life Stages | | Age Range Description | All Life Stages | | Allergen Information | Tree Nut Free | | Brand | Hikari | | Brand Name | Hikari | | Breed Recommendation | All Breed Sizes | | Container Type | Bag | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 724 Reviews | | Dog Breed Size | Medium | | Flavor | no flavor | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00042055052207 | | Included Components | Hikari Lionhead Sinking Mini Pellets, 3.5 ounces | | Item Form | Pellet | | Item Type Name | Hikari Lionhead Sinking Mini Pellets, 3.5 ounces | | Item Weight | 3.5 ounces | | Manufacturer | Phillips Feed & Pet Supply Natural Balance | | Manufacturer Part Number | 05220 | | Model Number | 05220 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Occasion | Birthday | | Product Benefits | Enhances fish coloration and form, promotes long-term health | | Recommended Uses For Product | Daily diet for fancy goldfish, color enhancement, promoting true lion head form, home use | | Special Ingredients | Fishmeal | | Specific Uses For Product | Indoor | | Target Species | Fish | | UPC | 042055052207 | | Unit Count | 3.5 Ounce | | Warranty Description | Warranty | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** All Life Stages - **Brand:** Hikari - **Flavor:** no flavor - **Item Form:** Pellet - **Specific Uses For Product:** Indoor ## Images ![Lionhead Sinking Mini Pellets, 3.5 ounces - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81VZzm9Y50L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this food recommended for fancy tail goldfish or is it only for lionheads?** A: I also would recommend this for non lionheads. The floating types i have found gave my fish Swimbladder disease symptoms due to them sucking in too much air. This is probably their best product for ANY goldfish. I have had Oranda's, lionheads, Ryukin fish and have fed them exclusively this product and green peas. I currently have over 15 blackmoor who are currently being fed ONLY this product and nothing else and the growth is amazing. I highly recommend nothing but this product for goldies. **Q: Hi can you tell me how old this food is? Does it have an expiration date?** A: I recently bought a package and it has a expiration of 5/2020. **Q: Are they Sinking or floating pellets?** A: The Lionhead pellets by Hikari are sinking pellets to help the fish avoid gulping air while they eat. **Q: Is there any vegetable matter in the ingredients? My black moor seems to be having a swim bladder problem and needs food w/ vegies** A: Try to feed green peas and yes this food have vegetables matter still I always soak this food for few minutes before feeding my fishes and it always sink so there is no swim bladder issue ☺ ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I'M NEVER USING ANY OTHER BRAND OF FISH FOOD AGAIN!!! *by J***. on January 15, 2016* WOW WOW WOW!

(think of a kid getting caught red handed with cheeks puffed full of cookies). With a glass bottom aquarium, sinking pellets result in zero waste when feeding the fish as apposed to floating pellets that will eventually sink wherever or get caught up in plants. My fish usually catch them before they hit the bottom. Ever since I started using this food, my fish have been ravenously begging me for more every time I'm near the tank, however chewing more than a mouthfull keeps them occupied for some time after feeding, which works out well (and is again amusing to watch). I'm starting to wonder is there is some sort of addictive substance in the formula. I'm feeding it to all my fancys and they are all doing very well and are always happy to see me during feeding time, but they are also always very hungry no matter how much they get, but I think that's just how goldfish are. My fish have had zero swim bladder problems since using this food as well. Though my Orandas are growing fast and healthy, this food doesn't seem to be working any magic for their wen. I think it's purely genetics at play there. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hikari Lionhead Sinking Mini Pellets, 3.5 ounces - Hikari Saki Fancy Goldfish Fish Food for Premium Grade or Fancy Goldfish, 7 oz.
