Hikari Minivore Delite – Advanced Protein‑Rich Diet for Small Carnivores
Hikari Minivore Delite™ is a uniquely formulated daily diet designed for most small carnivorous fish, especially axolotls, baby catfish, sharks, eels, bichirs, and stingrays. Developed through extensive research into the sensory biology of carnivorous species, this food delivers a nutrient profile comparable to live foods—without the risk of parasites or harmful bacteria.
Its slow‑sinking micro‑pellets rapidly absorb water to achieve a soft, live‑food‑like texture while maintaining their shape, making them highly attractive to bottom‑feeding predators. Enhanced with advanced color‑boosting ingredients, MiniVoré Delite supports vibrant coloration even in low‑UV environments.
