Hi Bonnnie,

That was my memory as well, with the remarks made that catfish food promotes
fast growth of juveniles, koi grow to maturity and koi live longer. The
issue of fat and liver was also raised as part of the reason the koi would
die early.

I believe the arguement was that the catfish food was not
for long lived fish. Most catfish are raised as food fish,
not pets and their lives are not as long as koi.
