Tropical Food Sticks 250g

My Fakaha puffer feeds well. Good, regular, everyday food.

My flowerhorn Gino did not originally like these. He would only eat bloodworms and live mealworms for about a month after I first purchased him. I have tried many different types of pellets. It’s been 3 months, I stopped the bloodworms all together (not a nutritious diet for him to be on long term) and I offered these sticks once in a while along with Cichlid Bug Bites, freeze dried brine shrimp, dried mealworms, and frozen shrimp. He just recently started to pick these sticks out over all the other food types. And now he’s obsessed! They are super easy to clean up, stay afloat, and are big enough for him to spot. They do not cause the water to get cloudy and the amount you get is quite a bit. Especially if you only have one medium-large size cichlid. Read the directions and offer these once every day. One day I skipped his morning feeding so he devoured these at his afternoon feeding. Since then he has loved them! 10/10 recommend!

All ly big fishes live the massivore, unfortunately my friends don't appreciate the smell. So i stop inviting friemds into my fishroom! Well wprth the money in bulk buys!

My Arowanas LOVE these! One of their staples! I buy often.

This is the everyday food for my trimac. He will refuse a lot of things, but goes crazy for this. I have a lot of South American cichlids in other tanks. Some of them like the food sticks as well, but most eat the cichlid gold pellets or cichlid bug bites.

We recently added a baby black Arowana to the fish room and I had a devil of a time getting the little guy to eat. Black Arowanas are not cheap and when very small they need to eat quite frequently. I tried bloodworms, which is what the shop had been feeding him. No luck. I tried krill, plankton and even smacked houseflies. No dice. He has tank mates--clown loaches and a sailfin plecostemus--so I didn't want to get him into eating live fish. It looked like we might lose him if something didn't give. I wasn't entirely impressed with the ingredient list for Hikari Tropical Food Sticks, which is why I docked a star. There are a lot of starches and fillers like wheat, corn, soy, rice and potato that these fish would never eat in the wild, along with artificial red dye. But I'll be darned if it didn't get the little booger eating. He attacked his very first stick with a vengeance. While he seemed to enjoy the "fight" I will now break the sticks in half until he's bigger to make swallowing easier. If he keeps that up, soon enough he'll be eating whole sticks and then the Jumbo size in no time. I do like that these sticks readily soften up in the water for easy eating and that the shape seems to draw his attention. He eats them with relish. This stuff might very well have saved him from starvation. Fillers or no, I've got to hand it to Hikari for making a food that is palatable and appealing even to a very persnickety baby Arowana.

So much cheaper to buy this bag as apposed to the name brand in stores. My jerk fish doesn’t eat anything but the expensive stuff, but I didn’t even have to faze him into this instead so it’s pretty damn close to the stuff on thie shelves for the same price but smaller bag. Highly recommend. I never had any problems with it. I just put the food in mason jars to keep freshness and easier to handle than the big bag

My yellow belly slider gets this as a treat and it’s a staple for my African and SA cichlids.

Sure.. its a fine & economical..

Good

Hikari is also my go to,real good food.

My arowana loves this stuff.
