Aha Scott!

Ever wondered why I now import Momotaro food, and didn't import anything else in the interim??? :wink: Yep, you've guessed it... it's seaweed bound!!! It also has more goodies in it than the Koi Lord did. Unfortunately, it's also more expensive :cry:
I only feed this to my best Tosai (the ones I'm growing), as these Koi are the hardest to improve, and easiest to ruin. I feed Medicarp and Nobori to the other three ponds.

Going back to the Momotaro food, it was so damn hard to get it to clear customs last year (first shipment), that Mr Maeda told me that I could have it made over here. Trouble is, it was so damn expensive to get it made, as it was such a complicated recipe, that I have continued importing it.

Suffice to say, that the price is so high, that not that many people feed it in the UK. It does has it's avid fans though. Craig A, that posts here uses it. Prior to me importing it, he was buying it direct from Momotaro, and having them send it by air, one box (4 x 2kg bags) at a time, and it was costing him £190! I reckon that he spent most of his wages on food... seriously!

Mike.
