Hikari Bio-Pure Frozen Silversides Flat Pack 12 oz
Hikari Bio-Pure Frozen Silversides are whole, ready-to-feed baitfish for large freshwater and marine carnivores. Feed them whole to big predators or cut them into smaller pieces for medium fish. This 12 oz flat pack is a thin frozen sheet you snap pieces from, so you take out only what you need and keep the rest frozen. It is a high-value treat for lionfish, eels, groupers, triggers, large cichlids, oscars, arowana, bichirs, aquatic turtles, and other hungry carnivores. Round out their diet with your everyday fish food.
Why Hikari Frozen
- Whole silversides deliver the natural whole-prey nutrition big carnivores crave
- 3 Step Sterilized to reduce the parasites and bacteria that live and fresh-caught foods can carry
- Enriched with bio-encapsulated multivitamins for better nutrition than live food
- Flat-pack sheet lets you break off exactly the amount you need, with no thawing of the whole pack
- Convenient and mess-free, ready whenever your predators are hungry
How to Feed
- Feed as a treat, offering only what your fish will finish in about a minute
- Thaw the portion in a little tank water, then feed whole to large predators or chop it for smaller mouths
- Remove any uneaten food to protect your water quality
- Use as a supplement alongside a quality staple food, not as a complete diet
