Hikari Cichlid Bio-Gold+ Medium Pellet

Hikari Cichlid Bio-Gold+ is a colour enhancing daily diet developed for carnivorous cichlids and larger tropical fish, especially those kept without UV light exposure. It uses Hikari’s proprietary Hikari-Germ, a source of live, naturally occurring beneficial microorganisms, alongside easily synthesised Astaxanthin for vivid, natural colouration.

This medium pellet is approximately 5.0-5.5mm, suited to larger cichlids and tropical fish. Built around premium grade fish meal with garlic and DL-Methionine added for palatability. For smaller cichlids and tropical fish, we also stock the Hikari Cichlid Bio-Gold+ Mini. We stock this medium size in 250g.

Features & Benefits

  • Contains Hikari-Germ, a source of live beneficial microorganisms that supports digestion and nutrient utilisation
  • Astaxanthin inclusion delivers vivid, natural colour enhancement
  • Supports rapid growth without excess internal fat deposits
  • Promotes active waste decomposition to help maintain water quality
  • Floating pellet won’t cloud the water and makes it easy to monitor how much your fish are eating
  • Stabilised Vitamin C supports immune system health
  • Garlic and DL-Methionine included to encourage feeding response, even in fussier fish

Recommended For

All carnivorous cichlid species and larger tropical fish, particularly those kept without UV lighting, where natural colour development can otherwise be limited.

Feeding

Feed two to three times daily, offering only what your fish can completely consume within 2 minutes. Always remove any uneaten food after feeding to maintain water quality. For the full benefit of the live microorganisms, feed Cichlid Bio-Gold+ continuously rather than intermittently.
