in order for increased protein % to work, you must have the ability to control your heat in the pond. A koi's metabolism is based on temperature. Simply buying the best and feeding it won't help grow your koi if they can't digest it.
I feed my outside pond now at 68 F saki-hikari all seasons . My inside pond at 74 F ( yes it's heated) gets saki-hikari growth
