🐟 A complete food for pond fish
Hikari Friend Medium is a complete pond fish food designed to meet all the nutritional needs of your koi, common carp, and other species. It can be used year-round as soon as the water temperature exceeds approximately 10–12°C, making it an ideal staple food for warmer seasons. Thanks to its balanced formulation of proteins, vitamins, and minerals, it promotes healthy growth and good fish vitality.
🌱 High-quality, easily digestible formula
The Hikari Friend range is based on traditional Japanese aquaculture feed, with a strong emphasis on digestibility and the quality of plant and animal-based raw materials. The floating pellets soften quickly in water, reducing organic overload and limiting water pollution. The presence of stabilized vitamin C naturally strengthens the fish's immune system, which is beneficial during periods of rapid growth or temperature fluctuations.
🌿 Aquaponics compatibility
In a traditional pond or aquaponics system, Hikari Friend Medium is suitable for daily use thanks to its good digestibility and minimal impact on water quality. The floating pellets allow for precise control of the amount consumed and easy removal of uneaten pellets within minutes, thus limiting the accumulation of organic waste. In home aquaponics or aquaponics kits, this type of feed offers a good balance between nutritional performance and respect for the ecosystem.
🧩 Key Composition and Nutrients
Hikari Friend Medium food contains approximately 31% crude protein and 5% fat, with controlled fiber and ash content, providing a balanced diet for healthy growth. The core ingredients include grains, vegetables, vegetable protein extracts, fish and fish by-products, vegetable by-products, insects, algae, and minerals. Vitamins and minerals (A, D3, E, stabilized C, and trace elements) are added to support the overall health of the fish.
🥣 Convenient size and use
Packaged in 10 kg bags, Hikari Friend Medium granules (4.5 to 5.5 mm) are suitable for medium-sized fish (approximately 15 cm and over). This size is ideal for large ponds, koi farms, or aquaponic systems where the number of fish is significant. The granules float, are easy to measure, and allow you to observe the fish's feeding behavior, which helps in adjusting the daily ration.
🧴 Storage and usage tips
To preserve the quality of the food, store the bag in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. Reseal the bag tightly after each use to prevent moisture and nutrient degradation. The food can be fed once or several times a day, depending on the water temperature and the fish's activity level, ensuring that it is all consumed within 5 to 10 minutes to minimize water pollution.
