Hikari Lionhead 12.30 oz (MPN 05234)

Hikari Lionhead is a specially formulated fish food designed to promote the growth and distinct lionhead shape of goldfish like Ranchu, Oranda, and Azumanishiki. Extensive laboratory research has shown that Hikari Lionhead can achieve superior results without the need for live foods, which can bring about parasite and bacterial issues. This sinking pellet food is also advantageous as it does not dissolve over time, reducing the risk of clouding the water and requiring less monitoring of the amount fed. It is more economical compared to flake food and helps maintain water quality. One of the key features of Hikari Lionhead is its inclusion of stabilized Vitamin C and amino acids, which support the immune system and promote rapid and healthy growth. This daily diet is nutritionally balanced, eliminating the need for additional supplementation. Additionally, Hikari Lionhead has been developed using Bio-Technology to enhance the fish's colors, resulting in exquisite and vibrant hues. For indoor goldfish, it is recommended to feed them 2-4 times a day, provided the water temperature is around 50°F. Outdoor goldfish feeding amounts vary depending on the season. During spring and autumn, it is advised to feed them once daily during the warmest part of the day. In summer, goldfish have a higher appetite, so they can be fed freely during daylight hours. During winter, when the fish's digestion slows down, it is best to switch to Hikari Goldfish Wheat-Germ, which is highly digestible. It is important not to overfeed the fish and to remove any leftover food after a few minutes to avoid water quality problems associated with excessive feeding.
