New fish food

[Willo]

After reading quite a few threads about what everyone is feeding there fish I decided to buy some better food. I have been feeding tetra variety mix with wheatgerm & garlic mixed in, about 2wks ago purchased some Japan mix from Queni Koi this has added prebiotics & probiotics I also bought some dried shrimp. When I fed the fish with tetra there was a delay before they ate it but now........soon as the Japan mix hits the water its like ive got a shoal of piranhas in the pond they do the same with the dried shrimp & meal worms I give them as treats I think the fish are happy with my choice of food.

you can also buy probiotics to add to the food ,dr foster and smith sell it here .I always add garlic to wheat germ food in fall and spring it helps them feed and fight off desease

We nave been using Queni for much of the season Willo and are really happy with the results of the changes that weve seen with Japanses mix, we can see that threre is more of a lustre to the koi, that the colours are more intense and they have bulked out muscle wise as well ?
Have you noticed any of the changes in your own your fish yet Willo.?
We bought the 3mm Japanses mix first then decided to buy the 6mm , weve also bought a tub of the Premium Food as well which is 51% protien 6mm pellets ready to start bulking them up for the winter ahead.

Hi Dave
I also got the 3mm japan mix didnt think they would be that small, if I buy any more I will get 6mm. Not noticed any change to the fish yet, only been feeding 2 weeks though.
I got the 5kg tub to see if it was any gud, if this food is as good as you say it is I prob buy some premium food nxt year when ive ran out of everything else ive got

Provided your feeding them more than twice a day whih is recomended in the summer you'll soon notice the difference in your fish , the first thing we started to notice that they were getting chunkier down the koi's flanks and in the tail area , then the lustre and colouration sharpening up of .

Ye I tend to feed at least twice a day at the moment, I tend to feed a little and often. Hopefully I will see a change soon .
The fish certainly like it so thats a good start

Take a couple of photos of your fish so that in a few months you can compare them , then you will see the differences
