High Nitrate Level for Koi
low quality food has a lot of carbohydrates and/or proteins in a form that is
undigestible by koi. basically, it goes in one end and out the other without being well digested and utilized. high quality koi food is both high in protein, but also the first couple ingredients (indicating the most) are protein sources that come from the water ... like whitefish, fish meal, krill, etc. if corn is the first ingredient, the food is low quality as that is both complex carbohydrate and land based plant. the idea is to feed high quality, but very little of it at a time. that way the food is completely digested and what comes out isnt such great food for bacteria to convert to wastes.
