To use Hikari Premium Tropical Food Sticks, simply drop the appropriate number of sticks into the water. For top - feeding carnivorous fish, it's best to feed them a few times a day, but don't overfeed. A good rule is to give only as much as the fish can consume within a few minutes. Keep an eye on your fish's behavior and adjust the amount accordingly. As for storage, keep the food in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This will help maintain its freshness and nutritional value. Also, make sure the container is tightly closed after each use to prevent moisture and pests from getting in. If you notice any signs of spoilage, like an off - smell or mold, don't use the food and discard it properly.
