Hikari Sinking Carnivore Pellets

Hikari Sinking Carnivore Pellets – High Protein Sinking Food for Catfish, Bichirs, Axolotls & Carnivorous Fish

A scientifically developed sinking pellet for carnivorous bottom-feeding fish. Formulated with fish meal, krill meal, astaxanthin and garlic, these pellets deliver a nutrient mix comparable to live foods without the risk of parasites or bacteria. They rapidly soften in water while retaining their shape, making them easy for bottom feeders to eat.

Available in 74g. If you’re looking for a floating food alternative for your large tropical fish, we also stock Hikari Jumbo Carnisticks.

• One of the few pellet foods with a high enough protein percentage to suit axolotls as part of a regular diet
• Rich in fish meal and krill meal – highly palatable even for fussy feeders transitioning from live food
• Includes DL-methionine and L-lysine to support palatability and protein utilisation
• Natural colour enhancers including astaxanthin and canthaxanthin support vibrant colouration
• Highly digestible formula reduces waste and minimises aquarium clouding

Recommended For

Bottom feeding carnivorous fish, including catfish, loaches, eels, bichirs and carnivorous plecostomus. Also a good high-protein option for axolotls.

Feeding
