What is better for enhancing the color of a 4-8 inch sized koi, hikari excel, or hikari gold, or is there anything better? Have you guys heard of medicarp, is this a good color enhancer ?

Hi guys.
Since I'm new at this Koi hobby, it is quite a surprise to know that it is not wise to colour enhanced young Kois. Please explain more. What suitable age then?

i totally have no background on the "medical" reasons
but here's my practical reason :
as a koi grows, of course, so do the scales. so while they are young/small ... enhancing the red will simply be negated by the fact that the scales are growing really fast (and thus be lighter in color)

Hi zaini,
I feed my kois with wheatgerm daily. Once a week I give them the colour enhancer pellets. I think it is true that feeding young kois with colour enhancer will damage the the condition of young kois as they grow if it is in large quantity. Do try giving them other food e.g brown bread, lettuce, watermelon and shrimp. They helps the kois growth.
