What Are You Feeding & Where are You Buying Your Koi Food This Season?

Head to your nearest Farm & Home store such as Tractor Supply and buy
there......

I took that advise, and it's been very beneficial. I think we got a 50 lb
bag for $6-$8.

Never yet have bought regular koi food for my koi in all the years I
have kept them. All I have ever fed is a localy prepared fish chow
that costs 5 or 6 bucks for a 50# sack........Ingredient for
ingredient, it has pretty darn close to identical ingredients as the
Rangen (sp?) brand of koi food. I also on occassion buy a nationally
known manufacturers brand of food just for a chamge, (Land O' Lakes or
Faithway Feed) as it only costs about $2.00 more per 50# sack than
the locally made stuff does......

Yes, and watch for sales. Last spring we only paid $9.99 per 50lb bag.

Which product did you buy? Catfish chow here runs around $10.99 per 50 bag.
Trout chow about the same. After spending over $5 a lb for koi and GF foods
I thought that was a bargain.

I've never seen the 50 lb bags go that cheap. I thought perhaps it was a
typo and you meant $16 to $18 a 50lb bag.

I'd have to check.. keep in mind I AM in the boondocks, and prices aren't
always jacked up, and customers taken advantage of.

Kinda weird living this way... LOL!
