What marine fish food should I use?

Feeding of the marine inhabitants is one of the most important factors in keeping a healthy aquarium. We recommend the Hikari Marine-S. These high quality pellets have been formulated to float and will not dissolve or cloud the water. The porous pellet immediately becomes soft & sponge-like, a texture your marine fish are accustomed to. Hikari Marine-S includes krill meal, silkworm pupa meal, alpha starch, and dried seaweed meal to help establish proper metabolism while maintaining good digestive system health.


Aquatic stores sometimes suggest frozen foods, however these are not recommended as they may decrease water quality if not all the food is eaten. We would also recommend you do not add Brine Shrimps; these can often lack sufficient nutrients for the fish.
