Hikari Staple is a preferred daily diet for koi and other pond fish. It provides all the necessary nutrition for these fish to lead a long and healthy life. The diet is high in stabilized vitamin C, which helps promote resistance to stress and immunity to infectious diseases. Hikari Staple is a cost-effective option that is both beneficial for your pet and your wallet. It has several advantages, such as not clouding the water, being a floating pellet that allows easy monitoring of the amount eaten, and reducing water quality problems. Although it does not enhance the fish's color, it offers excellent basic nutrition. When it comes to feeding suggestions, it is recommended to feed the fish one to two times daily when the water temperature is consistently above 60°F. When the temperature is above 70°F, feeding two to four times daily is ideal. It is important not to exceed the amount of food that the fish will consume within three to five minutes to prevent over-feeding and water quality issues. Any remaining food should be promptly removed after the feeding period.
