I have purchased the mini and it is indeed the correct size. **Q: Says "mini" but picture is of "large". Which is true?** A: Since the description sayd mini I would go by what the seller says. I bought large bit it clearly said large **Q: How large are these pellets?** A: I would say the BB pellets is a good size to compare them too. My cichlids are fairly large (say 6 to 8 inches long) but I like this size for them as they can grab a couple at a time if they like. **Q: Is this product ok for goldfish / koi ? Previous owner used it solely .** A: Cichlid only. I suggest you get something else specifically for koi or goldfish. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by S***T on February 16, 2026* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by Z***R on August 14, 2025* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***H on February 3, 2026* ## Frequently Bought Together - Hikari 8.8-Ounce Cichlid Gold Floating Pellets for Pets, Min - Hikari Cichlid Gold Sinking Fish Food (Mini), 342g - Hikari Sinking Cichlid Excel Mini Fish Food - 342G --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/5570278-hikari-8-8-ounce-cichlid-gold-floating-pellets-for-pets](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/5570278-hikari-8-8-ounce-cichlid-gold-floating-pellets-for-pets) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
