HIKARI (3 Pack) 8.8-Ounce Cichlid Gold Floating Pellets for Pets, Medium

Prompt Delivery

I’ve been using HIKARI Cichlid Gold for a few years now, and honestly, I’m impressed—and so are my fish! This 3-pack is a solid value, especially if you have a large tank or multiple cichlids. 🟢 What I love: Floating pellets make feeding super easy. I can monitor how much they’re eating and remove leftovers, though there rarely are any! My cichlids are noticeably brighter in color—reds and oranges especially pop now. The color-enhancing formula isn’t just a gimmick; it works. The pellets hold their shape in water and don’t cloud up the tank, which is a big win. Medium size is perfect for most adult cichlids, including Oscars and Firemouths. 🔴 Minor cons: It has a strong fishy smell when you first open the bag—but hey, the fish seem to love it! Might be a bit big for juveniles—consider crushing a few if needed. 💡 Tip: Feed smaller amounts 2–3 times a day to avoid waste and keep water clean. If you want your cichlids to be healthy, active, and show off their best colors, this food is a no-brainer. Definitely a staple in my fish care routine. 🐟

Since the early 1980's, I've offered my African Mbuna Zebra Cichlids the Hikari Gold Floating Pellets and they love it! They seem to grow fast and their coloring has remained bright and defined. Plus they seem happy and are healthy and active and keep having more babies than I can keep up with!

Great price

The HIKARI Cichlid Gold Floating Pellets are truly one of the best foods you can buy for cichlids. The pellets are clean, high-quality, and packed with nutrients that support vibrant color and healthy growth. Within just a short time of using them, you can usually see noticeable improvement in coloration and energy levels. My fish go crazy for these pellets — they float long enough for surface feeders to eat comfortably, and they don’t cloud the water like some other brands. The triple-pack is a great value, ensuring you always have fresh food on hand. If you’re looking for reliable, premium nutrition for your cichlids, this product is an excellent choice. Strongly recommended for any serious aquarium keeper. 🐠✨

Haven’t used much fish died so it’s sitting next to my tank. Seemed good quality

This food is so pricey but everyone recommended it and my Oscar loves it so you get what you see.

my chilids love it but just expensive.

It actually floats well and my cichlids love it. These pellets are for medium to large fish as I get the larger ones. They enjoy this a lot It's a bit pricey but worth it. Helps them with their color too from what i can tell.

Hikari is a trusted brand in my books. I feed this to my Oscar, Uaru, Severum, Geophagus, Convicts, Knife fish, Firemouth and others. Their feeding response is more aggressive with this than with other pellets from other brands. Good coloration on my fish, but water quality is the most important.

Have fed these pellets to my tank of assorted cichlids for years now with no issues. fish love them.

My chichlids love it
