Description
Hikari Staple Koi Pellet Medium Floating is a daily diet for koi and other pond fish through the warmer months, supplied in a 2kg pack that suits a stocked backyard pond.
Pond feeding is seasonal in a way aquarium feeding is not. Koi are cold blooded, so as the water warms their metabolism and appetite climb and they need a genuine staple diet to draw on. This medium pellet is formulated for that active period. Because it floats, the food stays at the surface where koi come up to take it, which does two useful things: it keeps pellets out of the sludge at the pond floor where they would simply rot, and it lets you watch every fish eat. Feeding time is the best health check a pond keeper gets, and a koi that stops coming up is telling you something early.

Offer only what the fish finish in a few minutes, then skim off anything left floating, since decaying food drives ammonia in a pond just as it does in a tank. This is a warm water diet: as temperatures fall below 15 degrees C, move to a wheat germ based food instead.
