Hikari Saki Fancy Goldfish Food

Hikari Saki Fancy Goldfish Food is a premium diet for fancy and high-grade goldfish, sold in a 7 oz. (200g) container (model 49340). Hikari designs it for all types of premium-grade or fancy goldfish, especially Ranchu.

Color

The food is rich in astaxanthin and pure cultured spirulina, both used to enhance color. Fancy goldfish are often kept for their red, orange and calico patterns, and diet plays a real role in how vivid those stay.

Vitamins

Saki contains Vitamin-E and stabilized Vitamin-C, which Hikari includes for immune system support. Fancy goldfish can be more delicate than single-tails, so a well-fortified diet is a sensible base.

Hikari-Germ

Hikari adds its Hikari-Germ, which the brand says helps reduce and recondition waste to improve water quality. Goldfish produce a lot of waste, so anything that eases the load on your filter helps, though water changes remain essential.

Why fancies need care at feeding

Round-bodied goldfish like Ranchu, Orandas and Ryukins have compressed body shapes. Overfeeding or gulping air at the surface can lead to buoyancy issues. Feed small portions, consider soaking food first and keep the diet varied.

Feeding tips

• Feed small amounts once or twice a day.
• Give only what is eaten in a couple of minutes.
• Add blanched peas or greens occasionally.

Who it suits

Keepers of show-quality or high-grade fancy goldfish who want a premium, color-focused diet. Store the 7 oz. container sealed and in a cool, dry place to protect the vitamins.

Ranchu and other top-view fancies have no dorsal fin and swim less strongly than single-tails, so they can lose out at mealtimes. Feed them in a calm part of the tank, or separately from faster tank mates, to make sure they get enough.
