![]() "~ janj JJsPond.us" wrote in message ... George wrote in part: Those who say that Koi have special nutritional needs might think about what they are paying for that little extra amount of nutition, which I have no doubt adds little value to their food. If you are concerned about what your fish eat, you can always suppliment their diet with inexpensive natural foods that are likely to be much better for them in the long fun. Not in my case, I feed a koi food because it is easier on my filtration. Less waste coming out. Yes, koi probably get enough from the cheaper foods, but they usually need to eat more to get it, the rest is feeding the filter. Similar to dog foods, feed the cheaper brands and they will state so many cups/lb of dog. A higher quality brand will show less cups/lb of dog, thus less dog doo to pick off the lawn, all because they pack more quality into every cup. Cup by cup, you won't save much. ~ jan ~Power to the Porg, Flow On!~ I've been feeding my koi, shubukans, goldfish and channel cat buld foods for three years with no problems. They are all fat and sassy, and the filter is fine. I never feed them more than once per day, and never feed them any more than they would get if I used a premium brand. |
