Hikari Gold Medium Pellets 17.6 oz (MPN 02342)

Hikari Gold is a daily diet that has been developed specifically for koi and pond fishes. This food is designed to meet the nutritional needs of koi while also enhancing their color. Hikari Gold is the result of years of koi breeding and showing, making it a reliable choice for koi enthusiasts who want to bring out the best in their fish. One of the key features of Hikari Gold is its floating pellet formula. This allows for easy monitoring of the amount eaten and helps prevent over-feeding. It also reduces water quality problems, making it a more economical choice. Additionally, Hikari Gold contains high levels of carotene, a natural color enhancer that brings out the natural, brilliant colors of koi and reduces washed out colors. It also contains stabilized Vitamin C, which promotes resistance to stress and infectious diseases, ultimately leading to a long and healthy life for the fish.
