## Description

desertcart.com : Hikari Tropical Semi-Floating Micro Pellets Fish Food, 2.2 lb (1kg) : Pet Food : Pet Supplies

Review: Buying in bulk is the ticket - Assuming you'll use it in the not-too-distant future, and keep it well sealed when not in use, the bulk bag is WAY cheaper than the tiny individual pouches. I put some in an old seasoning jar with holes in the top to dispense it. My mollies gobble it, as do most small fish, including fry. The Hikari Marine S pellets, as well as the Hikari Algae wafers, are also sold in bulk, if not here on desertcart, at another online partner. Some of this fish food is so friggin expensive, especially at the LFS (Local Fish Store), I buy it in bulk whenever I can, and always at desertcart if available. I try to buy just about all of my aquarium supplies on desertcart...filters, media, etc., because the markups at the LFS are usually outrageous. Hikari seems to be one of the most expensive brands, but I'd have to say that most fish will chow on most anything Hikari, thus the higher price...ya think? Needless to say, the bulk bags go a long way, just keep them well sealed and refrigerated.
Review: You won't have to buy food for a VERY long time. - I bought this 2lb bag of food about 6 months ago and I've barely made a dent in it. It's going to last me YEARS at this rate. All of my fish of all sizes love it. The semi-sinking is great because it feeds my swimmers and my bottom dwellers! Highly recommend!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the expiration date for the micro pellets?**
A: Usually about 1 to 2 years out.

**Q: Is there an user manual?**
A: Back of bag has instructions.

**Q: what does semi floting mean??**
A: It means that it will float for a few seconds, before getting saturated with water and sinking to the bottom. From my experience, they float for about 10-15 seconds before the vast majority of them sink to the bottom.

**Q: i have pellets for the fish i own, but they appear to be to big.. so could i use goldfish flakes for a mountain minnow?**
A: Do u have these the micro pellets? Or the standard size? My neon tetras tends to nibble the micro pellets putting them in their mouth and spitting them out a few times before eating a whole micro pellet. I also suggest getting a tiny spoon (something like a 1/8th tsp)to measure out how much ur feeding especially If u are still seeing a lot of food at the bottom of the tank. Mountain minnows don’t get very big so a pinch of food depending on ur hands might be way to much. If u still don’t feel ur fish are eating yes you could use flakes. The reasons not to are they r extra messy and depending on ur set up ur fish might not come to the surface for them so they just get pulled directly into the filtration system. Best of luck
