Saki-Hikari 4.4-Pound Multi-Season Floating Pellets for Pets, Medium

Our little school of koi seem to be thriving and coloring up very nicely with this food. I also blend it with the Saki-Hikaru Color-enhancing, as I want good weight, good color, but not fast growth. We have quite an investment on the quality of our koi, all hand-picked, and believed that this time around they deserved a better grade food than what is easily picked up at the LFS. All young fish too, so wanted them growing with the best. As it is winter here, much colder water, previous koi have gone quiet for feeding, but this group seems to be quite interested in at least one daily meal. Water temps are in the mid/upper 50s to low 60s, this food is formulated to be able to feed in these temperatures safely, and I'm happier knowing that my youngsters are still getting nutrition and not depending on the smaller amounts of fat they may have built up after arrival at their new home. So far, no complaints.

This food is just the right food. My fish would not eat any other food.

Well, my fish give this 2 thumbs up. I "inherited" a koi pond when we bought a house. I started with the food the previous owner left, plus some extra small pellets for smaller fish, since the koi were pretty small at the time. Fed them that for a year, and they were very shy, nervous about coming up to feed (lots of raccoons in the area, definitely at the pond, so the koi are very wary). I switched to this food when I ran out of the other food, and I liked that it was multi-season, since I'm on the California coast where summers can be cool and foggy, plus I thought the clear water aspect would help the pond. Anyway, started feeding the koi this, and within a month, they started coming up to get fed whenever I called them. Never did that on the other food. They push each other to get to the pellets. They are just so much more enthusiastic about feeding than they were before. And they seem healthy, the water in the pond looks pretty good, so it seems to work as advertised.My hands smell pretty strongly of shrimp and fish touching this food, so I would not recommend this to anyone with shellfish allergies. But my koi are very happy.

I'm an experienced koi keeper and I'm passionate about raising high quality koi. I can tell you absolutely, without any hesitation, this is hands-down the best line of koi food on the market. I feed the multi season most of the year, and I supplement with the color enhancing and growth in warmer months. I switched over from the regular line of Hikari foods (which are still better than anything else on the market), but I was completely amazed what this food, when fed regularly, did for my fish and overall water quality. If you are serious about your koi keeping, this si what you want. It is expensive, but you can absolutely see the results in your fish and water quality. (The fish go absolutely crazy for it as soon as it hits the water due to it's smell – which is a good thing by the way. I see some people complain about that, but it really isnt a big deal. It isn't about you, it's about what your fish like!)

Very pricey and goes quick, but all my fish other than my Sorogoi seemed to love it. He spit it out for a few days. I think these are significantly harder than the other blends.Since it’s warmer now, I moved over to Staple.

Best food for my gold fish and koi. Yes, pricy but cheaper than you can get outside in stores or suppliers. You don't compromise on quality.

koi love it

I'm sure this is better for the Koi than Tetra Vibrance. It is denser and less cheeto-orange. However, Saki-Hikari is very expensive and the Koi seem to prefer the Tetra Vibrance. I think it is better for my Koi to have a mix of ingredients and brands so I like to do a mix. However, I'm going to try something a little less expensive next time I make a mix.
