beautiful baby koi....

Every time I tried to feed my koi the cat food. I always got an "oily
rainbow sheen" on top of the water.
Anyone else get that?

I usually drop just a few pieces at a time so the water doesn't have a chance
to get oily. Judi

==========================
I had this happen one time with an expensive fishy smelling koi food. The
fish loved this food as they love anything I toss in there at feeding time.
I honestly can't remember which brand it was as it was 4 or 5 years ago.
The oily sheen disappeared a few hours after feeding them. It did no harm
that I could see.

Don't go for looks; they can deceive.
Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile,
because it takes only a smile to
make a dark day seem bright.
Find the one that makes your heart smile.

Yup - I got that when I used trout chow (Purina) - its the oil in the food
leeching out
Gale :~)
