OSI-188 is for high color, with much the same ingredients. They are also going to make koi treats, either silk worm pupae or dried shrimp. The food is made by Ocean Star International, a big guy in the aquaculture sector.

Carolyn - funny you should post this - I just came home with a 1.1 jug of OSI wheat germ pellets yesterday afternoon from local dealer. Was looking for cold-weather food to keep on hand and grabbed this stuff off the shelf b/c breakdown looked acceptable. Had been wanting to post and ask you guys what you knew about it, noticed that it contained silkworm pupae and thought that was odd for cold weather food. Will post analysis and ingredients if anyone interested...hadn't heard of this brand of koi food before.
