Hikari Food

[Miss Wiggle]

Right my little fishes love they're hikari food and my supplies are running low. After scouring the shops and never being able to find any more I finally asked someone, unfortunately I happened to ask the most boring man on the planet and I nearly fell asleep while he was explaining why they can't get it. Something to do with soem regulations.

So does anyone know why I can't get it.

And if you can, where do you get it from?

I may have good news on the subject.

I was contacted today by one of my suppliers to take an order for Hikari food. They are extremely confident that Hikari will begin to import into the uk at the end of july.

Although no one has been very reliable over the past 9 months, this is the most confidence i have had from any supplier that it will be available.

I will post on the board any further update, as i will imagine that every shop in the country will buy whatever they can staight away.

I have an unconfirmed report (from a rival companies rep) that Hikari have gone into liquidation.

hikari fish foods have been banned in the UK due to the bird flu thing

hikari is the makers name and i think they are the best

but as it contains chicken meat it has been banned in the UK for a few months now

Had a few problems getting Hinari Algae wafers from my LFS, and they pre-warned me about the import issue, So i stocked up on them. I'm using the Tetra wafers now (yellow pack) and the fish seem to love them. The only issue is the size - the tetra ones are tiny!

We have quite a few hikari cichlid pellets in stock but not the cichlid excel,
would you be interested in those?

then I suggest changing to Tetras' Pleco wafers as the size is more like the Hikari ones

if I couldn't get the excel ones then yeah

mine like those too, but Oscar goes crazy for the excel pellets so I really want to find more.

Is it OK if I pm you in a day or so if I don't manage to track any down?
