Review: This food is great and this price can not be beat. If you have a lot of big fish that love bloodworms then they will also love this food. My Cichlids go crazy for it Review: I have been using Hikari vibra bites exclusively for raising predatory cichlids. Young predatory cichlids can be very picky with their food and easily be addicted to live or frozen brine shrimp, krill, and especially blood worms. Getting the to transition to a well made pellet or flake can be hard. I have lost very nice fish using the starving method to get them to give into eating pellets. Hikari Vibra bites have always been VERY successful. In my opinion the perfect food for young carnivore/ predatory cichlids. And they will grow very FAST and LARGE with Hikari Vibra bites. I have used broken up Hikari Carnivore and Massivore Pellets in the past. Vibra bites is a better choice and when these cichlids get bigger trasitioning them with those bigger pellets is easy. I have grown HUGE cichlids starting them on Vibra bites which they all aggressively love until they outgrow the size of the worm like food. The common African Jewels love them. I also have grown their bigger cousins also. My favorite cichlids is Hemichromis. Many 7 inch Male Hemichromis Elongatus (the Five Star Generals), 10 inch Frempongis, and a few 11 inch Fasciatus using Vibra bites. Many Hemichromis will choose to happily eat Vibra bites their entire lives. The predatory Haps love them too. The Nimbos especially; Fuscos, Livingstoni, Malawi Eye Biters. Tyrannochromis will devour this as well. All young Parachromis; Dovii, Managuense, Red Tiger Motas, Fredstalis easily fall in love with Vibra bites. Umbriferum, Festae, Trimacs, Grammode, Salvini, Herichthys, of course Oscars, and predatory Tilapia will all greedily take this staple. Amazinly & surprisingly I have also had success using Vibra bites with young Serrasalmus. Black and red. I am so impressed with Vibra bites as the starting staple for Carnivorous fish. I cannot emphasize enough that young carnivorous fish will grow fast and very large using Vibra bites. I leave this review for the Largest bulk size available for Vibra bites as it is the best value and deal for this staple. You can see the above fish are all very aggressive, territorial, and robust cichlids. I have grown very outgoing, beautiful and healthy fish with this staple. Let me end by sharing with you that the majority of the above stated fish will start to breed before they even transition to bigger food. ## Features - Carefully selected color enhancing ingredients help rapidly bring out the brilliant colors of your fish - Uniquely balanced formulation offers nutrition live worms cannot without the parasite or bacteria risks. - Inclusion of mealworms make this a delicious offering most tropical fish immediately attack - Unique stick that readily moves through the water column like live food - Ideal tropical fish who prefer live foods - Quantity: 1 kg - Tropical Product - Gives effective result ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07M68ZLQ8 | | Batteries Included | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #13,513 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #182 in Aquarium Fish Food | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (135) | | Date First Available | 16 March 2022 | | Flavor | Fish | | Item Form | Stick | | Item Weight | 998 g | | Item model number | 042055222662 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Pet Life Stage | All Life Stages | | Product Dimensions | 3.8 x 17.3 x 28.2 cm; 997.9 g | | Quantity | 1 | | Special Features | Unique worm-like shape, slow-sinking, and highly nutritious formula with added vitamins. | | Specific Uses | Aquarium | | batteries required | No | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** All Life Stages - **Brand:** Hikari - **Flavour:** Fish - **Item form:** Stick - **Specific uses for product:** Aquarium ## Images ![Hikari Tropical Vibra Bites Fish Food Stick 1kg - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71IEEg0UMkL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Hqve anyone tried these with pea puffers? Are the pellets small enough?** A: I have an Amazon puffer that loves this stuff! But I also have a small population of bladder snails for him to feed on when he feels like it to keep him beak trimmed. You should consider the same for your pea puffers. **Q: should I soak them for a few minutes before feeding to discus?** A: My discus won't touch these. However, I crush them up, ad a drop of vita-chem, and mix them with some live blackworms, I can get my most picky discus to eat SOME of this. The live worms cling on to the ground up bits, so discus slurp them down, vibra bites and all. Good luck! **Q: Got a sample of these but there smaller sized, will these still work for a betta is broken up?** A: I have both male and female bettas in separate tanks and feed this food in a rotation. They gobble it up. Not sure what you mean by smaller size, if your Betta is small, go ahead and break it up. God bless. **Q: What is the size of the product?** A: I carry 3 sizes--- 1.2 oz for $6.10 2.57 oz for $11.82 9.8 oz for $19.39 ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by T***Y on 11 October 2024* This food is great and this price can not be beat.
