Key Benefits

• Basic daily diet for koi, with the quality and value of a market-leading brand
• Uniquely balanced nutrient mix that supplies the basic nutritional components your fish need to develop at a predictable pace

How to Use

Feed carefully, offering only the amount your fish will completely consume within a few minutes. The right amount depends on your water temperature, the condition of your pond and the activity level of your fish. Hikari's catalogue carries further feeding guidance. In South Africa, water temperatures can swing between warm summers and cooler winters, so check how eagerly your fish are feeding and adjust the portion to suit.

Suitable For

• All types of koi and pond fish, as a daily diet
