Koi Food Survey
Okay, I've googled rec.ponds and related web sites until my eyes are
blurry!!! Trying to find a concensus on what to feed our pond pigs, aka koi. So I thought I'd try a newsgroup survey. If everyone can just indicate the brand of food they feed, and maybe the first 3 or 4 ingredients and/or protein percentage. I've fed mostly Wardley's koi food for six years, but the recipe seems to have changed, and the price has skyrocketed. I'm now looking at Miracle Koi Food because the first four ingredients are fish based. Any one else using Miracle Koi Food (by Clearwater)? -- Kathy B, zookeeper 3500gal pond, 13 pond pigs Oregon |

Dainichi, color intensifier.
White fish meal Wheat germ Wheat flour Shrimp meal Spirulina 43% minimum crude protein I need to find a new feed as this stuff's somewhat expensive and the guys are going thru a $18, 500gm bag every 3 weeks now! One thing I like about it is that besides the usual vitamins and minerals it contains montmorillonite clay (i.e.: "Koi clay"). I'd rather "apply" the koi clay this way so it'll do the most good for the fish than just dump it in the pond. Does any other Koi food have this? 2500 gallons, 8 Butterfly pigs. Steve J.

Zookeeper,
Before they came out with Sho-Gold (Sho-Gold is for Goldfish) I used Sho-KOI, which is an extremely good food. Fish seem to relish it and it is a good growth food also when feed in proper portions.

I looked at Ogata, but the list of ingredients I saw had wheat germ as the second ingredient and soy bean meal as the fourth ingredient (White fish meal, wheat germ meal, krill meal, Soya bean mill, Alfalfa meal, yeast, garlic, ox bile powder, chitin (Chitosan), vitamins, etc). I had previously read that it's best to use feed where fish / shrimp / protein comprise the first 3-4 ingredients. See, this is exactly the kind of thing that confuses me. :-/ |
