Hikari Tropical First Bites is the perfect food for all types of freshwater and marine fry designed with the exacting nutritional balance all newborn fish require during the earliest developmental stages of life. First Bites is high in superior protein helping develop excellent body form, proper organ development and resistance to disease. Premium grade fish meal provides a protein and amino acid rich diet promoting rapid growth free of dietary deformities or deficiencies. Non-dissipation of the necessary vitamins, nutrients and amino acids help your fry survive and flourish.

Feeding Directions:
For optimum results feed four times daily the amount your fish will consume within 1 minute. Care should be taken to avoid feeding larger quantities of food less often.

For mid-water and bottom feeders:
Soak First Bites in a cup of aquarium water before feeding. This will cause the food to sink more rapidly providing fry ready access to the nutrition.

For Live-Bearers (ovoviviparous):
Feed Hikari First Bites straight after birth.

For Egg-Layers (oviparous):
Egg-layers utilise their yolk sack for nutrition immediately after birth. Start feeding Hikari First Bites just before the yolk sack is fully consumed.
