Koi Food

Collection: Koi Food

Koi food is one of the key parts of everyday koi care, helping to support colour, condition, and feeding routines throughout the year. Whether you’re new to koi keeping or looking to change brands, our koi food range includes all-season, colour-enhancing, and growth-focused koi food formulas suitable for koi of all sizes

All-season koi food:

To avoid the need for switching between multiple feed types, all-season koi food is designed for year-round use. It’s particularly suited to koi kept in heated ponds where water temperatures remain more stable across the seasons.

Colour-enhancing koi food:

Over time, a koi’s colours can appear less vibrant. Colour-enhancing foods are formulated to help support natural pigmentation while remaining suitable as part of a balanced feeding routine.

Growth formulas:

Growth formulas are typically used during warmer months when koi are more active and feeding regularly. These foods are designed to provide higher nutritional value to match periods of increased appetite and energy use.

Wheatgerm formulas:

Wheatgerm-based koi foods are commonly used when pond temperatures fall to around 10°C and below, as koi tend to be less active in cooler water. These formulas are designed to be easier to digest and are often chosen as part of a lighter feeding routine in Autumn and Winter compared to warmer months.

Frequently Asked Koi Food Questions

How often should I feed my Koi? 

During the warmer months like Spring and Summer, when your pond temperature is consistently above 10 oC, it is recommended to feed your Koi daily according to the feeding schedule on the koi food packaging. During the cooler months like Autumn and Winter, we recommend feeding less often, twice to three times a week, as the food can take longer to digest. 

When should I switch to a larger size koi food?

The size of the pellet you use will depend on your koi's size. As a general guide, koi pellets should be small enough for your koi to eat comfortably without struggling or leaving food behind. If your koi are eating pellets quickly and avoiding smaller pieces, it may be a sign to feed your fish larger koi food.

When is wheatgerm koi food usually used? 

Wheatgerm koi food is commonly used during the cooler months, typically when pond temperatures are consistently around 10 °C and below. At this temperature, their feeding slows, and they become less active, which means they don’t need as much food, and it needs to be easier to digest.

What’s the difference between all-season and colour-enhancing koi food?

All-season koi food is intended for regular, everyday feeding across much of the year. Colour-enhancing koi food includes added ingredients that help support natural pigmentation and is usually used alongside a standard diet rather than on its own, particularly during warmer months.
