Not sure I want to admit this but I buy 25lb. bags, one wheat germ and one summer food. 2 dozen adult koi, 2 dozen 8-12" and 10-12 small fry 6" or less. Yes, I usually use almost all of it plus fruits & veggies not to mention 5-6 boxes of Cheerios! I have fat fish.

Once up to speed our lot get through a bag 3750g in around about two months and thats just Wheatgerm and Garlic Pond Care Nutripearls they have already eaten most of 700g bucket that we transfer the pellets into at two meals daily .
in late spring we have to factor in shrimp, meal worm, silkworm, and their normal Summer food plus Wheatgerm and Garlic which is when the feeding really takes of at 4 meals daily at two handfuls a time ( I have small hands ):(
