DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Feeding Guidelines
Feed two to three times daily the amount your fish will completely consume in a few minutes.
Care should be taken to avoid over-feeding and permanently remove uneaten food after the feeding period.
Carnivorous fish often resist a new type of food when changing their diet, so continued use will ensure acceptance.
Additionally, throwing the stick at the surface, causing a splash, can increase acceptance for these larger fish.
It is ideal for larger top-feeding carnivores, especially Arowana & peacocks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What distinguishes Hikari Jumbo CarniSticks from other carnivorous fish foods?
+
Hikari Jumbo CarniSticks are specifically formulated for large, top-feeding carnivorous fish such as arowanas and other "monster" fish. These floating sticks rapidly absorb water, transforming into a soft, sponge-like texture that mimics live prey, making them highly palatable. This design not only satisfies the predatory instincts of such fish but also eliminates the risks associated with live feeding, such as parasite or bacterial infections.
How does this food support the vibrant coloration of carnivorous fish?
+
The diet includes higher levels of natural carotenoids, such as astaxanthin and canthaxanthin, which are known to enhance the development of brilliant colors in carnivorous fish. This is particularly beneficial for fish kept in indoor aquariums, where exposure to natural sunlight is limited.
Can Hikari Jumbo CarniSticks replace live food entirely in a carnivorous fish's diet?
+
Yes, these sticks are designed to be a complete daily diet, providing a balanced blend of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. They offer the nutritional benefits of live foods without the associated risks, making them a safe and convenient alternative.
What is the caloric content of each stick, and how does it compare to live goldfish?+
Each stick offers the caloric equivalent of approximately one live goldfish. Specifically, the 17.6 oz package contains the equivalent caloric value of about 2,800 goldfish, each weighing approximately 1.3 grams.
Are there any considerations regarding the appearance of the food over time?
+
Due to the use of higher levels of natural ingredients, there may be slight color variations between production lots. However, Hikari ensures that each package meets their superior nutritional specifications, so these variations do not affect the quality or efficacy of the product.
