There are differring thoughts on this subject and also it depends on the objective.
Kentaro Sakai says that we shud feed 0.5 percent of koi's weight divided over six feedings. 1% if we want to bulk up the koi for competition.
Just 2 weeks ago, Daisuke MAeda told us to be careful when feeding larger kois and to feed only twice a day because larger kois have slower metabolism rate. Overfeeding larger kois will damage thir digestive system and caused them to develop the sinking disease. Smaller kois are fed up to 5 , 6 times a day. Forgot how much feed he recommended.
I am feeding my 12 kois 300 grams a day morning and evening. My pond has not matured enuf yet to take anymore biological load. I am rigging up a DIY foam fractioner soon to improve DOC levels. then maybe feed to 400 grams.
