## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this food recommended for fancy tail goldfish or is it only for lionheads?**
A: I also would recommend this for non lionheads. The floating types i have found gave my fish Swimbladder disease symptoms due to them sucking in too much air. This is probably their best product for ANY goldfish. I have had Oranda's, lionheads, Ryukin fish and have fed them exclusively this product and green peas. I currently have over 15 blackmoor who are currently being fed ONLY this product and nothing else and the growth is amazing. I highly recommend nothing but this product for goldies.

**Q: Hi can you tell me how old this food is?  Does it have an expiration date?**
A: I recently bought a package and it has a expiration of 5/2020.

**Q: Are they Sinking or floating pellets?**
A: The Lionhead pellets by Hikari are sinking pellets to help the fish avoid gulping air while they eat.

**Q: Is there any vegetable matter in the ingredients?  My black moor seems to be having a swim bladder problem and needs food w/ vegies**
A: Try to feed green peas and yes this food have vegetables matter still I always soak this food for few minutes before feeding my fishes and it always sink so there is no swim bladder issue ☺

*by P***K on 9 March 2014*

I've been keeping Fancy Goldfish for almost 40 years - and using Hikari for almost as long. I'm glad to see they have removed MSG from their Goldie formulas and reduced the amount of fillers. When Hikari went back to their original formulas and developed newer and healthier alternatives I began to incorporate their foods once again. The Lion Head formula is rich in Fish Meal, Krill and Spirulina - considerd the most 'perfect' food on earth. In fact, I would encourage all Gold Fish lovers to add Zoomed's pure Spirulina flakes to your fishes diet - they'll flourish incredibly. As for the Lion Head formula my fish go crazy for it. The pellets sink nice and slowly reducing any top gobbling. The intake of air from floating foods is one the main causes of buoyancy issues and air bladder disease. Smaller pellets also provide your fish with activity as they indulge in their natural inclination to graze. As for Wen growth and color enhancement I haven't seen any results I would consider significant but I have seen an increase in activity and many of my 'bottom dwellers" which is always concern now spend much of their time mid tank. All in All the Hikari Lion Head formula is a superb food that packs plenty of significant proteins and fatty acids. 5 Fins Up!
