catfish food for koi :-)
In a fit of sanity: Phyllis and Jim Hurley picked up the keyboard and
pecked out: :: I was asking about catfish food a couple of years ago. It was :: suggested that catfish food will add fat to the livers of koi as :: it is a growth not maintenance food. ** And I believe those who make and sell koi food would like us all to purchase it from them - and not at a feed store for so much less. The difference in price is hard to believe. Someone's making a lot of money. My koi's livers must be fine because not only are they healthy with no deaths in several years but they bred this spring. :-) Our koi and goldfish are :: very inexpensive, as are our goldfish. I calculated that the :: savings on the first bag of catfish food would replace all my koi. :: So.....they eat catfish food. As you, we have koi that slurp :: (oops, suck) it up like mad. ** My koi are like vacuum cleaners..... anything edible that hits the water gets sucked in. At this point they are thriving! :: They have gone from 3" to 18-24" and eat like yours. I appreciate :: those who feed Koi food. We are happy with catfish food. ** What got me started with koi food was seeing a man down in town's koi and goldfish. They were huge, well filled out, no sickness, plenty of fry every year - and all they ever got was catfish food and whatever insects and bugs fell into the water. I asked what he was feeding them and he showed me the food and where to buy it.... I've been getting it there ever since. No need to pay $5 to $10 a lb for koi chow. -- Carol.......
