With its high concentration of stabilized vitamin C, Hikari® Staple helps boost their resistance to stress and enhances their immunity against infectious diseases. This cost-effective diet is ideal for pet owners looking for an affordable yet nutritious option for their fish. The benefits of Hikari® Staple include its ability to prevent water cloudiness and its floating pellet form, which allows easy monitoring of the amount consumed and helps prevent over-feeding. This reduces the occurrence of water quality problems and makes it a more economical choice. Although this diet does not enhance the colors of the fish, it provides excellent basic nutrition. To ensure proper feeding, it is recommended to feed the fish one to two times daily when the water temperature is consistently above 60°F. When the temperature reaches above 70°F, feeding can be increased to two to four times daily. It is important not to exceed the amount of food that the fish can consume within three to five minutes to avoid over-feeding and potential water quality issues.
