Hey Mike

i know exactly what you mean about how hard it is to get the food through customs. I had a hell of a time as well, the amount of running around almost makes you wanna give up many a time, but i am very happy now that it is all sorted out, likewise not many people have tried the all season koi food here in Australia namely due tot he price, a lot of people here aren't very educated about how important the quality of the food is. Then again we don't have imported kois here and most people use hard water anyway. i have found the all season food to be great, and it smells good too.

Yes it is true that by the time a lot of food arrive from Japan to long distance places they have already degraded some what, a read of koi bito's articles will shick many people. That is why both me and mike so strongly support momotaro food, not only are they fed to all japan grand champions, they are packaged in nitrogen and vacuum sealed to seal int he freshness. I have heard from pellet manufacturers that food prepared this way stay as fresh as the day they are made for 12 to 18 months. Plus momotaro only makes food onn a monthly basis so it is always fresh.

I would be very interested in what you feed your kois? Since you seem to have quite a strong opinion of two of the best breeders in Japan. That have raised and bred the last 10 all Japan winners between them.
