Aquarium food

Lionhead 100g - Hikari is high-quality sinking fish food specially developed for unique goldfish varieties such as Lionhead, Ranchu, Oranda, Azumanishiki and other fancy goldfish. The balanced composition is designed to promote good growth, the development of their characteristic body shape, and support the fish's natural colours.

Hikari has formulated the food so that the nutrients can be used efficiently. The sinking pellets also allow goldfish to eat naturally and calmly from the bottom. This is particularly beneficial for goldfish varieties for which floating food may be less suitable.

Specially developed for Lionhead and other goldfish

Fancy goldfish such as Lionhead, Ranchu and Oranda have different characteristics from many standard goldfish due to their specific body shape. High-quality daily food is therefore important for maintaining good condition and balanced development.

Hikari Lionhead was specially developed with these fish in mind. The food provides high-quality nutrients and contains a balanced ratio of proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals.

The food can be used for, among others:

• Lionhead
• Ranchu
• Oranda
• Azumanishiki
• Other high-quality and unique goldfish varieties

This makes Hikari Lionhead an attractive choice for enthusiasts who want to feed their fancy goldfish a targeted diet.

Sinking pellets

Hikari Lionhead consists of sinking pellets. After the food is sprinkled into the aquarium, it sinks to the bottom so that the goldfish can feed from there.

This aligns well with the natural foraging behaviour of goldfish. They naturally spend a lot of time searching for food on and around the bottom.

An additional benefit of sinking food is that the fish do not have to feed at the water's surface as much. This can be particularly beneficial for certain stocky goldfish varieties.

The pellets are small, so they can be easily consumed by suitable goldfish.

Supports good body development

An important goal of Hikari Lionhead is to support the characteristic body development of high-quality goldfish.

The food contains a relatively high proportion of high-quality proteins. Proteins provide important building blocks for the growth and development of fish. A good balance is important here: the goal is not only rapid growth, but above all healthy and balanced development.

Hikari Lionhead contains at least 46% crude protein and at least 6% crude fat. This makes it a relatively rich food that meets the nutritional needs of high-quality fancy goldfish.

By feeding small amounts regularly, the fish have access to the nutrients they need throughout the day.

Supports natural colour development

For ornamental goldfish, body shape is not the only important factor. Deep and vibrant colours also largely determine the fish's appearance.

Hikari Lionhead contains ingredients selected to support natural colour development. The food contains, among others, spirulina and astaxanthin.

These ingredients are widely used in high-quality food for ornamental fish because of their contribution to natural pigmentation.

With regular use in combination with good water quality, sufficient lighting and healthy living conditions, the food can help the goldfish's natural colours come to their full effect.

With stabilised vitamin C

Hikari Lionhead contains stabilised vitamin C.

Vitamin C is an important nutrient for fish and plays a role in various bodily functions and the normal operation of the immune system, among others.

Because Hikari uses a stabilised form, the vitamin remains more available in the food. This contributes to a complete nutritional profile for goldfish fed with this food over the long term.

Carefully selected ingredients

Hikari is known for developing specialised foods for koi, goldfish and aquarium fish. Lionhead is also formulated for its specific use.

The ingredients used include fish meal, wheat flour, soy meal, wheat germ, spirulina, krill meal and other carefully selected nutrients.

The combination of animal and plant-based ingredients provides a balanced nutritional profile with sufficient proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals.

Feed several small portions

For the best results, it is important to feed Hikari Lionhead in controlled amounts.

Feed a small amount several times a day that the fish can completely eat within a few minutes. The amount of food needed depends on the number of fish, their size, the water temperature and their activity level.

Because the pellets sink, it is extra important not to feed too much at once. Food that is not eaten can end up between the bottom substrate or other decorations and affect the water quality there.

Therefore, observe the fish while feeding and adjust the amount if food consistently remains uneaten.

Good water quality remains important

Even the best fish food can only be used optimally when conditions in the aquarium are good.

Therefore, ensure sufficient filtration, regular maintenance and stable water quality. This is extra important for fancy goldfish because goldfish can produce relatively high levels of waste products.

By feeding small portions and only giving as much as the fish actually eat, you limit the amount of uneaten food in the aquarium.

Hikari Lionhead is developed to be efficiently consumed and digested, but good feeding management remains essential for maintaining clean and healthy aquarium water.

For enthusiasts of unique goldfish

The Lionhead 100g - Hikari is particularly interesting for aquarium owners who deliberately choose specialised food for their high-quality goldfish.

Instead of a general goldfish food, the formulation is specifically aimed at the needs of fancy goldfish. The high protein content supports body development, while ingredients such as spirulina and astaxanthin contribute to natural colour development.

The sinking pellets ensure that the food becomes available below the water's surface and allow the fish to consume it from the bottom.

With a package of 100 grams, this version is suitable for smaller goldfish groups or for users who want to try Hikari Lionhead first before choosing a larger package.
