Hikari Betta Bio-Gold

Hikari Betta Bio-Gold is a daily pellet diet for bettas, sold in a 0.70 oz (20g) pack. Hikari developed it after research into the nutritional needs of bettas and their high-stress nature.

Protein source

Premium fish meal is the main protein, giving bettas the animal protein they need as carnivores.

Vitamins

The pellets contain stabilized vitamin C, which Hikari includes to support immune system health. Stabilized vitamin C holds up better in stored food than standard forms. Hikari also adds grape seed extract.

Color

Hikari says its Bio-Technology provides active color enhancement. Combined with clean water and good lighting, a color-supporting diet helps bettas show their best tones.

Small pellets

The pellets are sized for betta mouths and float, matching the way bettas feed at the surface. Because they swell slightly in water, some keepers pre-soak them for a minute to reduce the risk of bloating.

Feeding tips

• Feed two or three pellets once or twice a day.
• Remove any uneaten pellets after a few minutes.
• Skip one day a week.
• Rotate with frozen or live foods when possible.

Who it suits

Betta keepers who want a long-established, widely used daily pellet from a brand known for fish nutrition. The 20g pack is small, which is a good thing for a single betta: the food gets used before it goes stale. Keep the pack sealed and dry between feedings, and buy a fresh one rather than stocking up.

Watch your betta’s belly after feeding: a slightly rounded shape is normal, but a swollen belly means the portion was too big. Adjust the next meal down and give the fish a day off food if needed.
