## Description

A Live Food Alternative For All Fancy Goldfish. A sinking, daily diet utilizing bio-technology for superior coloration, outstanding form and excellent long term health. Specially formulated ingredients, including a higher level of necessary amino acids promote superior growth and desirable, true lion head form. Using Hikari Lion head eliminates the parasite and bacteria problems normally associated with feeding live foods and gives your pet their best chance of a healthy, long life free of infections or disease caused by these pests. Bio-Technology allows us to provide a diet that helps develop coloration not expected in goldfish raised indoors due to lack of natural UV. This technology also helps prevent fading of your pet's colors over time. High in stabilized vitamin C, Hikari Lion head helps reduce stress and promotes immunity to infectious disease. A sinking pellet that will not dissolve and therefore does not cloud your water.

Review: Quality Food - If you want high quality fish food, you are looking at the right product! Be mindful that they are floating pellets though as goldfish with swim bladder issues should not be taking in the extra air from "gulping" at the surface for food. This can be remedied by soaking the pellets in tank water for ~30 minutes. These are probably best for fish at least four inches long. My two smaller babies have a hard time eating the pellets because they are decently sized so I have to break them in halves with my thumb nail to keep them from being stuck in their mouth. My only dislike is that these things smell. Whenever the package is open, you will be totally aware. If you drop them in your carpet, you better get the vacuum out as soon as possible.
Review: Love it, love it, love it! - Hikari is an excellent brand, and I'm not the only one that loves the stuff. My Goldies love it too! I feed this to my Red Cap Oranda, who has a Panda Moor as a tank mate, and they both eat it up like they haven't eaten in years. My Oranda is still rather small, but I have seen significant head growth on him, after having fed him Hikari Oranda for a few weeks. It never clouds the water, nor does it make the water smell. However, these are the floating pellets, and Goldfish can develop swim bladder problems fairly easily, especially when gulping air from the surface in a mad rush to gobble up the food, so, I always soak these in some tank water, and squish them between my fingers some so that they sink to the bottom. All in all, I love this stuff. My Goldies are bright and healthy, and the food does enhance headgrowth, as promised. Very pleased!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ good product but too $$$$ Good for very small pond w/ few fish
*by F***O on November 10, 2020*

I have rain catchment ponds with various fish. Koi, Fantails, Comets, guppies and swordtials to eat any mosquitos. This is a great product if you have a very small pond with few fish. The fish like it, but I need a lower cost food. So I'm trying the TetraPond Koi Vibrance which costs far less. My only reason for not giving it 5-Stars is due to price.
