Hikari Staple Goldfish and Koi Food
A high-quality, basic daily diet made from premium ingredients offering superior growth and health-improving characteristics.
FEATURES
- Hikari – Staple is a lab-formulated, daily diet, for feeding Koi and other pond fish in warmer water temperatures. The uniquely balanced ingredients support rapid growth, proper form, and efficient utilization. This floating diet will not cloud your water and contains necessary vitamins, including stabilized vitamin C to support immune system health.
- Note: Hikari Staple contains higher levels of natural ingredients which may cause a slight change in color from one production lot to another. Rest assured because of our rigid quality standards each package meets our superior nutritional specifications.
FEEDING
Regularly monitor your water temperature and adjust the amount and frequency of your feedings based on this temperature, the water condition, the number and size of fish, and their activity level. Avoid over-feeding and always remove any uneaten food remaining after the feeding period.
For 18-30°C (64-86°F) – Feed 2 to 4 times per day the amount your fish will completely consume within 5 minutes.
For 11-18°C (52-64°F) – Feed no more than twice daily the amount your fish will completely consume within 5 minutes. For best results try to feed during the warmer part of the day.
Below 11°C (52°F) – We suggest using Hikari® Wheat-Germ Formula, specially designed for lower temperature digestibility.
We recommend Hikari Staple as a daily diet for all Koi as a daily diet where improved growth is desirable.
