Give newborn fry the critical head start they need to thrive. Hikari First Bites is scientifically formulated to provide complete, balanced nutrition for newborn and young fry of both freshwater and saltwater species. During their earliest growth stages, newly hatched or birthed fry require elevated protein and essential lipids to build strong organ systems,encourage skeletal development, and resist disease. First Bites delivers professional-grade nutrition packed into micro-fine, water-stable particles engineered specifically for tiny mouths.

Why Breeders Trust Hikari First Bites

• Micro-Fine Semi-Floating Granules: Specially milled to accommodate fry that cannot consume traditional flakes or standard micro-pellets. The unique semi-floating characteristic allows food to slowly disperse across the top, middle, and lower levels of the water column, ensuring surface eaters and bottom-dwelling fry all get equal access to food.

• Rapid, Deformity-Resistant Growth: Packed with premium marine proteins, balanced amino acids, and high-potency vitamin complexes (including stabilized Vitamin C) to support immune defense and help prevent spinal and skeletal deformities common in underdeveloped fry.

• Clean, Cloud-Resistant Formulation: Fry tanks and breeder boxes possess delicate bio-loads that quickly foul from unconsumed powder foods. Hikari’s proprietary production process ensures each particle holds together in the water without dissolving into dust, preserving water clarity and protecting sensitive water parameters.

• Palatability Without Live Culture Hassle: Offers an instant, shelf-stable alternative or supplement to live baby brine shrimp and microworms—ready to feed at a moment's notice without risk of culture crashes or pathogen introduction.

Feeding Instructions

1. Timing: Begin feeding immediately after the yolk sac has been completely absorbed.

2. Portion Control: Feed a tiny pinch multiple times daily—as much as the fry can consume within 2 to 3 minutes.For newborn or surface-shy fry, pre-mix a pinch of First Bites with a few drops of tank water in a small cup or pipette, then disperse gently near the school.

3. Water Care: Promptly siphon any uneaten food to maintain pristine water quality in nursery systems.
