Brands of Koi food

[cr8tivguy]

Hi
I'm curious to know what brands of Koi food are preferred by all of you. I'm about ready to restock and want to get something that is high in nutrition so I can reduce the feeding a bit.

Ideally, I would like to get a food that can be used all the time (no seasonal food) but I'm not opposed to having different food for different seasons.

I also supplement with fresh fruit, veggies and eventually meal worms.

Would love to hear your opinions.
Tim

I use Blue Ridge growth food and also Microbe-Lift Variety. The Microbe-lift is a blend of summer food, fruits & greens, growth & energy and immunostimulant food.

I use Tetrra floating sticks. Fish love them and they are soft for them to eat. I also use Tetra color enhancing sticks. This really makes the colors pop on them. Then i use koi treats made from reall fruit to give them everynow and then and they really go nuts over them. Jsut depends on what you want to spend ( some foods are very expensive) as well as the results from what you see from your fish. Hope this helped.

We feed Mazuri floating koi pellets to our pond goldfish and koi.

I first tried the microbe lift pellets and my goldfish gave them a tepid response. I use the Tetra floating pond sticks and my fish love them.

We just got an order of food from KensFish. It was recommended by the breeder who supplied my ryukins and fantails. First time I have ever seen 1/2 mm pellets.

I just wanted to add that although fish food may be dry it is a good idea to keep it refrigerated. At least do not let is bake in a building without AC.

Many people keep it in the 2nd fridge along with the soda's and beer.
