Hikari First Bites

Hikari First Bites is a scientifically formulated diet developed to give newborn fish the exacting nutritional balance they need during the earliest stages of life. It’s built on superior protein sources to support excellent body form, natural colouration and proper organ development, giving fry the best possible start.

This sinking granule uses a unique low-heat production process that helps preserve vitamins, nutrients and amino acids through processing. Suitable for both livebearers and egglayers, in both freshwater and saltwater setups. Once your fry have grown past this stage, transition them onto our Hikari Micro Pellets. We stock First Bites in 10g.
