Hi there,

Could anyone recommend a brand/type of Koi food?

I have about 20 Koi ranging in size from 2" to 18", I inherited the
pond/fish & existing food which I believe is grass based (does that
sound right?) and a friend told me that grass based products make your
pond green - which makes sense.

I appreciate there are lots of products on the market, but I'd really
like some general guidance on Koi food e.g Koi sticks or other
alternatives

Also, any help on retailers or web site stores which sell these
products would also help!

kind regards,
Richard

You will find as many diverse opionions on how and what to feed koi as
there are types of koi. Personally, I buy generic pellets in bulk (much
cheaper) and then suppliment their diet with Koi sticks, and ocassional raw
veggies, like peas, and ocassionally, even shrimp (which they like very
much). They are especially fond of an unroasted, unsalted peanuts (which
is what they are fed by the public at Busch Gardens in Florida), and relish
some water plants. Others here may be able to tell you water kind of water
plants they will eat.
