Hikari Goldfish Diets Pellet Size Guide

Hikari offers numerous pellet sizes developed for goldfish in various stages of growth. For ponds where various sized goldfish reside we recommend using a smaller pellet easier for the youngest goldfish to eat to reduce stress. Larger goldfish can eat smaller pellets easily, but smaller fish can encounter problems with pellets that are too large.
