Directions:
For optimum results feed daily as often as possible the amount your fish will consume within 2 to 3 minutes.
Care should be taken to avoid feeding larger quantities of food less often as it can cause a lack of nutrition. For best results feed up to four times daily an amount of food which can be consumed within a minute.
- For mid-water and bottom feeders
Soak in a cup of aquarium water before feeding. This will cause the food to sink more rapidly providing these fry ready access to the nutrition. - For Live-Bearers (ovoviviparous)
They can consume Hikari First Bites right after birth. - For Egg-Layers (oviparous)
They utilise their yolk sack for nutrition right after birth. Start feeding Hikari First Bites right before their yolk sack is fully consumed.
After opening, store in a cool dry place. See back of pack for best before date.
