Product Description
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!

RESEARCHWe 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 DIETSHikari 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. |
TECHNOLOGYOur 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! |

Below, I've listed the entire nutrient content of tubifex worms.
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."

Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2024
The container size is small. San Francisco Bay sells (or used to sell) a container that is 4X larger, therefore less expensive.
Clowning aside, all my water creatures love these. You can either stick your nasty human hands in your tank and stick the dried worm blocks to the glass (count 10 seconds and then carefully swipe your fingers so it doesn't get stuck to you), or just drop them in the tank.
My favorite thing to do with these is to feed my African Clawed frogs, I got my male and female trained to come out to the surface and rip them off my fingers (one time my female missed and swallowed my finger, it was hilarious). If you have kids or visitors, this is a fun show and a huge hit with them.
One thing I did notice and I think is worth mentioning... Most Hikari products I've bought until now are produced in Japan... These freeze-dried series all seem to be a Product of China (but the freshness-hermetic-seal has Japanese writing on it (oi, don't troll me...) My water buddies don't seem to care, but, just pointing that out.

Anyway, I'll tell you the result and let that speak for itself. My fish are getting healthier by day and more vibrant in their colors, the food doesn't produce high levels/ spikes of ammonia in water. So, I don't have to stress over feeding time. But it's always a good idea to remove excess food after 10-15 minutes and I do that.
The three hikari products together cost me close to Rs. 4500/-, and seems pretty steep. But I'm happy to see my fish happy and healthy. It's totally worth it.
P.S. Hikari tubifex is costliest. And my fishes eat those from my hand like spoiled pampered brats. May be they are. 😂
