FAQs

How often should I feed my fish?

Feed your fish 2-3 times a day, ensuring they consume the food within a few minutes. Adjust the amount based on the number and size of your fish.

Are these pellets suitable for all types of fish?

No, these pellets are specifically designed for bottom-feeding carnivorous fish, like catfish, eels, and stingrays.

How should I store the Hikari Sinking Carnivore Pellets?

Store the pellets in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the packaging is sealed to prevent moisture from entering.

What should I do if my fish aren't eating the pellets?

Try gradually introducing the pellets by mixing them with their current food. Crushing the pellets can also help.

How do I know if I'm overfeeding my fish?

If you notice uneaten food at the bottom of the tank or cloudy water, you are likely overfeeding. Reduce the amount of food given at each feeding.

Fish not eating the pellets.
