Hikari Tropical Vibra Bites XL – Colour Enhancing Very Slow Sinking Sticks for Larger Tropical Fish

A colour-enhancing formula built around a scientifically balanced nutrient mix and carefully selected ingredients, designed to bring out brighter, more vibrant hues quickly.

This is the XL Stick, a larger, very slow sinking version of the original Vibra Bites, sized for bigger community fish and species that favour live foods, such as rainbowfish. Looking for a smaller size for tanks with bettas, tetras and guppies? Our Hikari Vibra Bites Regular Stick range is a better fit. We stock the XL Stick in 125g and 415g.

Features & Benefits

  • Colour enhancing ingredients and a precisely balanced nutrient mix bring out brighter, more vibrant colour with regular feeding.
  • Worm-like stick moves naturally with the current and sinks very slowly through the water column, mimicking live food.
  • A safe alternative to live bloodworms, offering the same appeal without the risk of parasites or bacteria.
  • Includes mealworm and other carefully selected ingredients that larger tropical fish find hard to resist.
  • Backed by feeding trials at the Hikari Aquatic Lab in Japan.

Recommended For

  • Rainbowfish and other larger community fish.
  • Discus, Angelfish and similar species that appreciate a slow-moving, worm-like food.

Feeding

Feed 2 to 3 times daily, offering only what your fish will finish within a few minutes. Remove any uneaten food after each feeding to protect water quality, and adjust the amount to your fish’s size and activity level.
