Oscar spits it out too. My fish have a varied diet of other cichlid pellet/shrimp/bloodworm/earthworm/peas/spinach/frozen daphnia/krill. I know Hikari gold is meant to set the standard for colours and growth in fish and hopefully my fish will get to like it soon (fussy buggers) But until then i can only say that it arrived well packaged and is a large bag. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hikari Cichlid Gold - Medium 250g - Hikari 12-Ounce Sinking Cichlid Gold Pellets for Pets, Medium - Hikari 12-Ounce 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.co.uk/products/47908772-cichlid-gold-medium-250g](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/47908772-cichlid-gold-medium-250g) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
