Hi,
I found this searching the web. I would say to feed as much as they can eat in 5 mins.
http://www.prestigeponds.com/manuals2/Breeding%20Koi.htm
One-month-old koi need about five percent of their body weight in food and should be fed little and often. As they grow, koi need less food - about two percent of body weight (6in) or larger. The size of pelleted food is critical; not all fish grow at the same rate and it is too easy to look at the larger koi and select the pellet size to suit them, forgetting the smaller fish. Unfortunately, koi that are nearer to the common carp in appearance grow faster than the prettier koi.
