BENEFITS 

A Unique Pellet Carnivorous Fish Love

• A unique blend of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals and amino acids all perfectly balanced to offer a daily diet most carnivores love

• Free of unwanted parasites and bacteria which are common hitchhikers with most live foods

• Higher levels of carotenoids promote the development of brilliant colors not common in carnivorous fish kept in an indoor aquarium void of natural sunlight

• Key ingredients in this rapidly sinking pellet allow us to produce a diet that helps most carnivores develop their true form over time

A Pellet Designed With A Purpose

• Absorbs water rapidly taking on a texture of a live fish
• A highly flavorful nutrient mix
• Contains stabilized vitamin C to support immune system health
• Each pellet offers a nutrient mix offering higher digestible protein levels carnivores need

FEEDING

Feed two (2) to three (3) times daily the amount your fish will completely consume in about a minute. Care should be taken to avoid over-feeding. Carnivorous fish many resist a new type of food when changing their diet, continued use will ensure acceptance. Throwing a pellet at the surface of the aquarium and causing a splash can improve acceptance as it mimics the action of a live fish.

Ideal for smaller carnivore fish especially non-surface feeders like catfish, sharks, polypterus (bichirs), eel, and smaller carnivorous plecostomus.

Note: Hikari^® Tropical Sinking Carnivore Pellets^® contains higher levels of natural ingredients which may cause a slight change in color from one production lot to another. Rest assured each package meets our nutritional specifications.

Orders generally arrive by 12:00 PM
Typically the delivery time is before 12:00 PM (your local time) in most metro areas, but some remote areas may not be guaranteed to arrive until "end of day", which is usually late afternoon or early evening at the latest (8:00PM).

FedEx Drivers WILL NOT wait for you to come to the door.
Generally speaking, FedEx will quickly knock or ring the doorbell, and leave your
package near your front door. While this sometimes seems crazy to people who are new to having reptiles shipped to them, but this is industry standard. We purposely do not require signature, as we do not want to risk having reptiles go back on a hot (or cold) truck for the rest of the day, in the event you don't make it to the door in time. This is for the safety of the reptiles. Although we don't require a signature for delivery, we can still obtain GPS delivery coordinates and other information when needed, in order to determine where a package was left and verify delivery.

If you order AFTER this time on Tuesday, your order will ship on Monday. We ship Feeder Insects Priority Overnight, 2-Day, or 2-5 Day USPS Priority.
