here's a different angle for you to consider.
food should be selected to do what you want it to do.
cold water feed with minimum temperatures. Hikari is wheatgerm based. read the lable. correct choice for the reason./season
other wheatgerm has white fish meal in it. would be a good food for the next step up with the temperature increases. you wouldn't want an animal protein with minimal temps. you would want fish meal if you had a heater on your pond and the chance of temps dipping ( especially in the spring and fall) was not a concern. see what i mean?
many times koi foods are manufactured in the same processing plants. the ingredients are tweaked to the receipe's of the customer. But sources are the same/similar.
talk to toyoma koi about what he does to create daiinichi food made in america. interesting!
please be a lable reader of ingredients, look at the per centage of protein and also think about water temps and what kind of digestion your koi's metabolism
will need to handle that food.
