Pet parents have plenty of options when it comes to customized nutrition for their dogs, cats and birds—but what about fish, crabs and shrimp? Hikari fish food provides wholesome solutions that cater to a wide variety of aquatic pets—including crustaceans, cichlids, tropical fish, koi and other types of water-dwelling creatures. Whether you’re looking for freshwater fish food or saltwater fish food, Hikari has high-quality solutions to help you maintain the health and wellness of your pets.
Pet parents have enjoyed breed-specific Hikari fish food since 1979 when Kamihata Fish Industries began their proprietary koi pond food throughout Japan. Since then, their commitment to fish nutrition has evolved into one of the world’s leading lines of aquatic pet food. Hikari First Bites and Bio-Gold Baby Pellets are two of the only newborn baby fish foods to provide targeted nutrition that helps baby fish develop proper body form, diseases resistance and organ development. The brand’s algae wafers have become one of the leading Plecostomus diets globally, and Hikari Gold koi pellets have been enhancing the color of these popular pet fish for decades.

It sounds like you need to take a trip to your local pet store. The clerks there can help you pick out an appropriately size tank with proper filtration and heating that can help keep Sushi healthy. They can also let you know what water treatments you'll need for the water in your area, as well as test any water you bring it to see if it is OK for Sushi to live in. Pet stores will also carry commercial goldfish food which is a balanced diet that is given to them. It should have feeding instructions on it so you know how much is appropriate to give to Sushi.

Thanks for reaching out. If is a good idea to fast for 1-2 days prior to shipment, this decreased feces and will help to keep the ammonia down. Typically clear bags are utilized with about 50% water, and 50% air/oxygen used. A local pet store might be able to assist, as they get shipment in (so have older bags and boxes, which need to be disinfected) and hopefully the skills to ship. Check with the airline also, box needs to be well labelled "LIE ANIMALS" and "THIS END UP". Sometimes a health certificate for interstate travel is needed, so contact airline and State of Utah, veterinarian. Good luck.

You can try feeding them commercial fish food or meal works from your local pet store. If you would like a consult, you can provide pictures and we can give you a better idea of what kinds of fish they are and if they have special requirements for their diet. Hope this helps!

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! This could be due to pain or discomfort as he could have hurt himself. However, it could also be coincidental. If he is otherwise doing well without limping, I think it would be ok to monitor him for now. However, if he develops a limp or any other signs such as crying in pain, inappetence or continued lethargy, have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They can check him for any evidence of pain and treat him based on findings. Good luck and have a great day!

Without anything to use for scale, it is hard for me to tell how big your tank is, but in general it seems very small. Also, the water that is in the tank appears very cloudy right now, so that would be the first place to start. Water quality is very important, and will make or break your ability to house and care for fish. I would recommend getting a good filter system (you can visit a local pet store to assist you with brands in your area, as I am not familiar with what you can get in India). Be sure to bring the measurements (height, length, width) of your tank, or the gallons or liters so they can tell you what capacity of filter you will need. Everything else will depend on what types of fish you get - if you plan on getting multiple fish, they will need to be small - a general rule of thumb is one square inch of fish per gallon of water. Depending on the species you get, you may need to also get a bubbler to ensure there is enough oxygen in the water for them, and you will also
