looking for better food Can't Post
Hello,
I have been feeding my Koi Hai Feng Quick grow Koi Food for over three years now. The Koi are health and doing fine they just are not very big. I feed the a good portion three times a day during the summer. What do you people feed your koi? Anyone use this food? I'm going to try and attach a picture of what I feed mine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Chad

Hikari would be a good try. I also change my pellets everytime they run out or at least every 3 months with vegetables and fruits as side dish.

As different manufacturers have different specs on different vitamins and minerals and i beleive this would give my koi a more overall nutrition.

BTW- try eating the same food everyday, would'nt you be bored also?Cool

Have anybody ever tried feeding the Kois frozen worms (in cubes sold almost at any aquarium shop). I've some grass carp that I've fed with these stuff and they just love it. Just don't know if the Kois would be interested, I mean they're bunch of hogs just like the carps.

Just a thought.
