Hikari or Omega One

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I like Hikari
 
I use Hikari of those you mention.

Never saw Omega in here
 
Omega is a much better nutritional choice.
 
It's like asking which is better to eat....an apple or an orange. Their both good. Sure they may have some difference but in general their both good. It doesn't matter, go with whihc is more accesible or which your fish seem to like better or even by price.

Quality wise, Omega One is up there with NLS. Hikari uses alot of meals while Omega one uses fresh alaskin shrimp, krill, and fish, and fresh harvest kelps. Nothing wrong with Hikari, its a great feed, But I would spend a couple bucks more for real foods rather than just sustainable proteins.
 
Meals are not including water, whereas a whole food does still contain its water. to manufacture it into a pelletthe water gets taken out which can reduce the weight quite significantly. I've heard 80%. So the real order of ingredients can be skewed, as ingredients are listed by weight.

I feed both to my fish.
 
White fish meal is one of the worse thing to put in your tank. White Fish meal = the bones of the fish & nothing else & also is high in ash content in which you do not want in your tank!
NLS best, Xtreme coming up, then Omega. But some HBH foods are decent.
