It's not inappropriate to horribly overfeed fish if it's meant to grow
them
fast for food.

But, you're not growing koi for food.

Nor an I overfeeding to the point they're inactive and lethargic as the
pictures of my fish make quite clear.

Neither was the study. Your comment
is irrelevant.

So are your endless insults, not to mention they're a waste of time to read.

See the articles below for the relevant issues of your
feeding the wrong diet and your selling diseased fish.

If I were selling DISEASED fish I would have been put out of business by
now. Feed don't cause disease unless it's rancid or stale.

from Dr. Erik Johnson's Koi Health and Disease
"Catfish chows are for short term use, even in Catfish! And they
eventually cause fatty liver syndrome in Koi."

"Which" Catfish chows? My koi are all healthy and for some reason that
upsets a few of you on this group. Maybe you tried the "wrong" catfish/trout
chow if it diseased and killed your fish. Johnson keeps his koi under very
different conditions than we keep ours and I have no idea what brands he
used that sickened his fish.

Fatty liver: Koi raised on a diet that is high in fat, or contains corn
and
other low quality, plant-based proteins (e.g. catfish chow) may develop
hepatic lipidosis.

I'm not using a diet high in fats nor is the protein plant based. I've
posted that before. In fact everyone on this group knows what I've been
feeding for years now - why all of a sudden is it a big deal?

The protein in the feed I'm using is porcine and fish meals. The fat
content is 5.00%. It contains stabilized Vitamin C and I don't overfeed
them.
