I can also tell you that I have a large koi pond in Hawaii and when I had a problem with my pond turning green (I was using Walmart Koi food), the pond expert who does all the top resorts said to use this fish food, as it helps keep the pond clean. He also suggested using Microbe Lift PL. Since doing this, my pond is crystal clear, and I can see my happy koi :) Hope this helps. Warm aloha, Karen Russell, karen@healthylifeadvisors.org **Q: Can I feed this to my pond goldfish?** A: Its really a specialized diet for cichlids, Id look at one of the Hikari goldfish or koi specific diets, there higher in vegi matter.

They drop slower than a rock but still pretty fast. We have to make sure to feed one at a time. Drop only when she is ready. And not under the current of the filter. We have a very large, very picky oscar. She won't eat floating food but won't always dive for sinking. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hikari 2.2-Pound Sinking Cichlid Gold Pellets for Pets, Medium - Aqueon Cichlid Slow Sinking Fish Food Pellets, Medium Size, 25 Ounce - Hikari 2.2-Pound Sinking Cichlid Gold Pellets for Pets, Mini --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/4121701-hikari-sinking-cichlid-gold-medium-pellets-for-cichlids-and-larger](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/4121701-hikari-sinking-cichlid-gold-medium-pellets-for-cichlids-and-larger) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-09-23*
