FAQs
At what temperature should I feed this probiotic food?
This food is most effective during warmer months when fish metabolism is high; avoid feeding when temperatures are consistently low.
Will this food change the color of my Koi?
It includes Spirulina, Astaxanthin, and Capsanthin, which intensify existing red, yellow, black, and blue pigments without blurring the white scales.
Can I feed this to all sizes of Koi?
The 6mm pellet size is generally suitable for medium to large Koi; verify your fish can comfortably consume this size before regular use.
How do the probiotics benefit the water quality?
By improving the digestive efficiency of the Koi, the fish absorb more nutrients and produce less waste, reducing the burden on your filter.
Does this food contain enough protein for growth?
Yes, it contains 51% protein, which is specifically balanced with lipids to ensure that the protein is used for body growth rather than energy.
Troubleshooting
Fish are not eating the pellets immediately.
Ensure the water temperature is within the range for active feeding. If the fish are sluggish, reduce the amount offered.
Water appears cloudy after feeding.
This is likely a sign of overfeeding. Reduce the portion size to ensure all pellets are consumed within 5 minutes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the probiotic cultures, store the 3kg bag in a cool, dark, and dry place. Keep the bag tightly sealed between feedings to prevent moisture from entering. This food is compatible with most standard pond filtration systems; however, because of the high nutritional density, it is critical not to overfeed. If food remains in the water after 5 minutes, remove the excess to prevent organic buildup. Monitor your ammonia and nitrite levels periodically, as the increase in fish growth may necessitate a review of your current biological filtration capacity.
