Hikari Food Sticks

Hikari Food Sticks – Floating Stick Food for Saratoga & Top-Feeding Carnivores

A scientifically formulated floating stick for saratoga and other top-feeding carnivorous fish. Developed to replace live feeders as a complete daily diet, these sticks absorb water rapidly and take on a soft, live-food-like texture that top predators find irresistible, without the risk of parasites or bacteria that live food commonly carries.

Available in 57g and 250g. Looking for a larger stick for bigger fish? We also stock Hikari Jumbo Carnisticks. Prefer a sinking option? Take a look at Hikari Sinking Carnivore Pellets.

Features & Benefits

• Ideal for saratoga, oscars, datnoids, stingrays, Murray cod, Australian bass and other large top-feeding carnivores
• Floating 14.5-15mm stick mimics the surface-feeding behaviour of fish in nature
• Absorbs water rapidly to develop a soft, live-food-like texture while retaining its shape
• Balanced proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals and amino acids for complete daily nutrition
• Higher levels of carotenoids support vibrant colouration in fish kept indoors without natural sunlight
• Highly digestible formula reduces waste and minimises aquarium clouding
• Safe alternative to live feeders with no risk of parasites or harmful bacteria

Recommended For

All types of saratoga and other top-feeding carnivorous fish, including oscars, datnoids, Murray cod and Australian bass.

Feeding

Feed two to three times daily, offering one stick at a time and only as much as your fish will completely consume within a few minutes. Remove any uneaten food after each feeding. Carnivorous fish may initially resist a new food when transitioning from live feeders. Continued use will encourage acceptance. Tip: throwing the stick at the water surface to create a splash can help trigger a feeding response, as it mimics the action of a live fish.
