Feeding Fry for growth

[Sharon Goode]

Have 8 small Koi fry in separate tank and would like to feed them more often to attain maximum growth. Please advise the types of food you would use .

Sorry for the mistake in terminology these are not fry. They are 2 and 3 inches long and I would like to see them grow while wintering inside.

High growth koi food will work, break it up if it to big to bite

2" - 3" are juveniles ..3" - 5" are fingerlings. freeze dried brine shrimp..cubes are better but flakes are good. theyre 45% - 50% protein. spurilina flakes are also good ..spurilina can be up to 65% protein


you can grow out your fish on any food really...feed enough. just can make it harder to maintain water quality.

How big is that tank? Rapid growth is obtained by overfeeding, and to do that without polluting the tank you need a lot of volume, excellent filtration, and lots of water changes. This is hard to do when wintering inside.
