Frequently Asked Questions

Which pellet size should I choose for my pond?
The range comes in Small 1mm (0.04"), Medium 2mm (0.08") and Large 3mm (0.12") pellets. As a general rule, the smaller pellet suits smaller fish with smaller mouths, and the larger pellets suit bigger, more established koi and goldfish. If your pond holds a mix of sizes, choose a pellet that all your fish can manage comfortably.

Do Daro Koi and Goldfish Pellets float or sink?
They are floating pellets. They stay on the water's surface, so you can see your fish feeding and keep track of how much is being eaten.

Why is the Medium bottle a different weight from the others?
The Medium 2mm pellets are packed in a 450g bottle. The Small 1mm and Large 3mm pellets each come in a 500g bottle.

Is this a colour-enhancing or speciality koi food?
No. DARO describes it as a basic fish feed for koi and goldfish. It makes no colour-enhancing or speciality claims, so it is best viewed as a simple everyday pond pellet.

Can I feed these pellets to other pond fish?
The pellets are designed specifically for koi and goldfish. The manufacturer does not list other species, so for different pond fish, ask our team which food would suit them best.
