Cichlid Bio-Gold Medium 250g - Hikari

The Cichlid Bio-Gold Medium 250g - Hikari is a complete daily staple food for medium-sized cichlids and other larger tropical aquarium fish. The food combines high-quality nutrients with Hikari's specially developed Hikari-Germ and a floating pellet that cichlids can easily take in.

Cichlid Bio-Gold was developed for aquarists who want to give their fish high-quality daily nutrition. The composition contains various animal protein sources, vitamins, minerals, and color-enhancing ingredients. This not only provides the fish with the nutrients they need for their daily condition, but also supports their natural color development.

This Medium version contains 250 grams of food and has a pellet size suitable for medium-sized cichlids.

With Hikari-Germ

An important feature of Cichlid Bio-Gold is the addition of Hikari-Germ. This is a specially selected live bacterial culture that Hikari adds to various high-quality foods.

Hikari-Germ was developed to support the fish's digestion. Good digestion helps the fish efficiently utilize the nutrients from the food.

This makes Cichlid Bio-Gold an attractive option as a daily food for cichlids that are fed regularly and relatively generously.

Floating Medium Pellets

Hikari Cichlid Bio-Gold Medium consists of floating pellets. After the food is sprinkled into the aquarium, it remains available at the water surface.

This offers several practical advantages. During feeding, you can clearly see which fish come to eat and how much food is actually taken in. It is also easier to adjust the amount when it becomes apparent that too much food has been given.

The Medium size was developed for medium-sized fish. Other pellet sizes are available within the Cichlid Bio-Gold series for smaller or larger fish.

For Cichlids

Cichlids make up a highly diverse group of aquarium fish. Depending on the species, they can differ greatly in size, behavior, and nutritional requirements.

Cichlid Bio-Gold was primarily developed for cichlids that need a nutritious diet with a relatively high protein content. The food can be used for various medium-sized cichlids and other tropical fish with similar nutritional requirements.

Always take the specific fish species into account. Some cichlids naturally have a diet in which plant-based material plays a larger role and may benefit from more specialized food.

High-Quality Animal Ingredients

Cichlid Bio-Gold contains various animal-based food sources. The recipe uses fish meal, krill meal, and squid meal, among others.

These ingredients provide proteins and other nutrients that are important for the fish's daily condition and development.

In addition, the food contains plant-based ingredients, vitamins, and minerals. This combination makes Cichlid Bio-Gold suitable as a complete daily food for suitable cichlid species.

Supports Natural Colors

Many cichlids are kept for their striking colors. Red, orange, yellow, and blue pigments can be highly pronounced depending on the species.

Hikari Cichlid Bio-Gold contains ingredients selected to support this natural color development. The composition includes astaxanthin and krill, both known as sources of color-enhancing carotenoids.

Spirulina is also part of the recipe.

Of course, nutrition is not the only factor that determines the color of a fish. Genetics, age, water quality, lighting, and overall health also play an important role. A balanced diet does, however, help to optimally support the fish's natural characteristics.

Nutritional Analysis

Hikari Cichlid Bio-Gold has a high protein content and is therefore tailored to the nutritional requirements of many active cichlids.

The guaranteed analysis consists of:

• Crude protein: minimum 40%
• Crude fat: minimum 7%
• Crude fiber: maximum 3%
• Moisture: maximum 10%
• Crude ash: maximum 15%
• Phosphorus: minimum 1%

With a minimum of 40% protein, the food provides a concentrated amount of nutrients in every pellet.

Shape-Retaining Pellets

The pellets were developed to retain their structure well during feeding. This prevents them from immediately falling apart when they come into contact with the aquarium water.

This is especially practical for larger and more active fish such as cichlids. The fish can easily pick up the pellets at the surface, while you as the caretaker can clearly monitor how much is actually being eaten.

The floating action also makes any excess food easier to see and remove.

How to Feed Cichlid Bio-Gold?

Feed Hikari Cichlid Bio-Gold two to three times a day. Each time, only provide an amount that the fish can completely eat within a few minutes.

It is better to feed several smaller portions than to sprinkle a large amount into the aquarium at once.

Observe how much the fish actually eat during feeding. If pellets regularly remain at the surface, reduce the amount at the next feeding.

By preventing overfeeding, you limit unnecessary food residue and the associated strain on the aquarium water.

Medium Size

This version features the Medium pellet of Cichlid Bio-Gold. The pellet size is intended for medium-sized cichlids that can easily take the pellets in one go.

The right size is important. A pellet that is too large can be difficult to eat, while very small pellets may be less practical for larger fish.

Therefore, when choosing the size, pay particular attention to the size of the fish's mouth and their feeding habits.
