Hikari Gold Baby Pellets 22 lb (MPN 02189)

Hikari Gold is a high-quality daily diet for koi and pond fishes that has been developed specifically to enhance their color. This feed is the result of years of koi breeding and showing, making it a reliable choice for meeting the nutritional needs of koi while promoting vibrant and brilliant colors. One of the key features of Hikari Gold is its floating pellet design, which makes it easy to monitor the amount of food eaten. This not only helps prevent over-feeding but also reduces water quality issues. Additionally, Hikari Gold contains carotene, a natural color enhancer that brings out the natural and vibrant colors of the fish, preventing them from appearing washed out. The feed also contains stabilized Vitamin C, which promotes resistance to stress, infectious diseases, and ensures a long and healthy life for the fish. Feeding suggestions vary based on the water temperature. When the temperature is between 60°F and 70°F, it is recommended to feed once or twice a day. However, when the temperature exceeds 70°F, it is advised to feed the fish two to four times daily due to increased activity and metabolism. It is crucial to remove all remaining food after feeding to prevent over-feeding and maintain water quality. The guaranteed analysis of Hikari Gold reveals valuable nutritional information.
