Hikari Jumbo Carnisticks – Floating Stick Food for Saratoga & Large Carnivorous Fish

A scientifically developed floating stick for saratoga and other large top-feeding carnivores. The jumbo stick absorbs water quickly and takes on a soft, pancake-like consistency that mimics the texture of live food, satisfying large predators that would normally only accept live feeders, without the risk of parasites or bacterial contamination.

Available in 182g and 500g. Each 182g package offers approximately the caloric equivalent of 1,100 live goldfish, making it an economical and convenient option for feeding large, active fish. Looking for more variety for your large fish? We also stock Hikari Tropical Food Sticks.
