For optimal results, feed daily as often as possible the amount that your fish will consume within 2 to 3 minutes. Care should be taken to avoid more frequent feeding, as it may cause nutritional deficiencies. For best results, feed up to four times a day an amount of food that can be consumed within one minute.

For mid-water and bottom feeders: Soak in a cup of aquarium water before feeding. This will make the food sink faster, providing fry access to the nutrition.

For livebearers (ovoviviparous): They can consume Hikari First Bites immediately after birth.

For egg layers (oviparous): They use their yolk sac for nutrition immediately after birth. Start feeding Hikari First Bites before the yolk sac is fully consumed.
