💡 Tip
Do you have cichlids that eat at the surface? Then choose Hikari Cichlid Gold — the same formula in floating pellets.
❓ Frequently asked questions
Why is carotene so important for cichlids?
Carotene is a natural pigment that enhances the red, orange, and yellow colors of cichlids. The highest carotene content ensures maximum color vibrancy throughout the year.
What is the difference with Hikari Cichlid Gold?
Same formula, but Sinking Cichlid Gold sinks — for cichlids that eat from the bottom. Cichlid Gold floats — for cichlids that eat at the surface.
Is this food also suitable for herbivorous cichlids?
No — this food is optimized for carnivorous cichlids with a high protein content. For herbivorous cichlids, we recommend Hikari Cichlid Excel.
