I remember back away when it first came out and I "tried it". It was during the era of interest in various bug larve filled with coloring agents and used for bird and fish feed.

It was relatively expensive but since about half of it sank some of my more reluctant feeders got something. As i remember it needed to be used in rather high temp water ( at the time I wasn't heating ) So I could only use it for a month of so in August. The fish liked it as i recalled.

I've never used it since. My sense is it might be good for variety and a treat.

As of late I have been mostyly impressed with growth Saki from Hikari. I'm from the olde school that doesn't believe in miracles but hard work and attention to detail thru study....which excludes color food. I figure if i buy quality bred koi with the proper genetics all i have to do is feed the proper % of protein to match the temperature and keep it fresh and frequent....
