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

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.
