About Hikari

Hikari, the “originator” of Species Specific and premium aquatics diets, has been copied by many, but our loyal customers know they can always depend on our products to offer their aquatic pets the finest in scientifically balanced nutrition. For almost 140 years, we’ve spent considerable time exploring natural habitats of fish, breeding fish in our own facilities, producing diets in our own factories, processing every shipment through our own facilities, and researching the impact our diets have over time.

These unique insights into the nutritional needs of fish give us a competitive advantage no other fish food maker can duplicate and allow us to produce species-specific diets that will not only maintain your aquatic pets’ health but assist you in keeping your aquarium or pond in top form. We make the health and longevity of the fish and the aquatic environment they live in our first priority. Focusing on bringing about success to the hobbyist through exacting nutrition has allowed us to develop a brand name synonymous with superior quality.

Why Customers Choose Hikari

Our customers choose us because of our commitment to research, species-specific diets, and technology. We feel it’s our duty to constantly investigate the natural ecology of fish to make the best food for them. Our exploration of various ecosystems, such as Lake Malawi, the Indian Ocean, and the jungle of Southeast Asia, offers us many secrets to fish health, coloration, breeding requirements, water conditions, and quality.

Hikari offers a wide variety of diets for different species of fish, each offering unique characteristics that enable it to be readily accepted by the specific fish it was developed for. This attention to detail allows you to be confident that your choice will be quickly devoured by even the most finicky eaters. Our first-hand experience breeding and raising fish, and the scientific data we can collect during this process, give us a clear roadmap for future product improvements and enhancements.
