It is a great option for pet owners who want to provide their fish with a high-quality diet without breaking the bank. One of the advantages of Hikari?

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 and increase the feeding frequency to two to four times daily when the water temperature is above 70°F. 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. The guaranteed analysis of Hikari?
