Hikari Micro PelletsHikari Micro Pellets are our everyday staple for nano fish like the small rasboras and tetras (chili rasboras, ember tetras, Boraras and the like). These tiny, semi-floating granules are sized for small mouths and use Hikari's micro-coating so they hold together without clouding the water — with krill and spirulina in the mix for color and a fish-meal-and-krill base for the protein active little fish burn through. They drift slowly down through the water column, giving surface, mid-water, and lower fish all a fair shot at the food.This is one of the foods we actually feed in our own display tanks at Cuboid — a staple we reach for daily and recommend without hesitation.Feeding Tip — soak first: We recommend soaking Micro Pellets in a small cup of tank water for 30–60 seconds before feeding. Dry pellets can carry tiny air pockets and expand once swallowed, and small or bloat-prone fish (Apistogramma and other nano species especially) do far better on a softened pellet. Soaking also makes them sink, which suits shy mid- and lower-level feeders.For the smallest fish and fry, the pellets crush easily to an even finer crumb. Feed only what your fish finish in a couple of minutes, once or twice a day, and remove anything left over.A genuinely economical staple: a little pellet packs more nutrition than a pinch of flake, and you skip the step of crushing flakes for tiny mouths.
