A professional use daily diet for koi which promotes development of a healthy, voluminous body. We recommend Saki-Hikari Balance as a daily diet for all championship grade koi or koi with championship potential.

  • The nutrient balance offers a readily accepted taste most koi love.
  • Significantly improved feed efficiency offers active waste reduction. This can translate to improved pond bio-action effectiveness which normally means less filter maintenance and improved water quality.
  • Supports digestive system health which can translate to improved nutrient utilization and more rapid growth.
  • Expect predictable growth, superior form, brilliant luster and no negative impact to the Shiroji (white areas).
  • Helps improve energy reserves thereby positively impacting activity levels and development.
  • Most effective when used without interruption as an exclusive daily diet. The benefits of the Hikari-Germ do not continue once feeding is discontinued. Intermittent feeding or use with other foods mixed in will not provide the optimal benefits.

Feeding suggestions: Carefully feed the amount your fish will completely consume within a few minutes, based on your water temperature, pond condition and the activity level of your fish.

This floating food must have 70-80% floating to pass inspection. This is not a bad thing because there are always fish in the pond that can't compete with the others and will benefit from the pellets that sink.

Please Note: New to this season you will notice that this food is now one consistent pellet as opposed to 4 distinct pellets. Microbe-Lift made the investment to reformulate the Variety mix to include ALL the nutritional benefits of the formulas of our Summer Staple, Fruits and Greens, Immuno Food, and Growth and Energy into one pellet. The greatest benefit is that it now ensures that every bite of food the fish ingest has the benefits of 4 varieties. An additional improvement is that now the food can be easily used with automatic fish feeders when needed.

In the late spring when the warmer temperatures arrive, koi and goldfish need a boost of protein for growth since they depleted their fat reserves over the winter. In the fall a higher protein diet is also required since pond fish need to bulk up in preparation for their winter fast. Use this feed at a minimum temperature of 68°F (20°C). Pond fish really start to grow at this temperature. You can use this feed up to four times per day. Feed between 2% - 3% of the fishes' body weight per day.
