Silversides are a long, slender, brightly colored minnow, that are a perfect diet for larger fish that have a predatory instinct like Lion fish, Anglers, Eels and more. Silversides contain extremely high protein and fat content making them an ideal food for large marine fish.
Silversides are a bait fish that can grow up to be 5.5" on average and will be a perfect treat for your predatory fish. Hikari Silversides are packaged whole, and of a freshwater species which will aid in your saltwater fish's osmotic process leading to less energy used.
Feeding Suggestions:
Feed only as much as your fish will consume in 1 minute. SIlversides can be fed whole or cut to an appropriate size for your fish to consume. Uneaten pieces should be removed from the aquarium. Overfeeding can lead to poor water quality issues. We do not recommend feeding anemones or coral silversides, due to their large size corals and anemones have a very hard time digesting the fish, and a small particle foods will works best. Most of the time if a silversize is offered to a coral or anemone it will be rejected within a few hours.
