I would say if your growing season is longer than 2 or 3 months out of the year then I would buy the product, because you can see the difference in size and condition during the colder months goin into winter. Kinda pricey, but I saw worth it if you can afford it.
Since you recommend Izeki aquitori what is your feeding regimen when you use it if you don't mind sharing? I posted earlier as to what I am doing right now. I was thinking of supplementing - every other day switch between Saki-Hikari/Dainichi/etc. and Izeki. What do you think? I am also concerned about whether Izeki's efficicacy or indeed the koi's digestion of Izeki will be adversely affected by 86-90 F water temperatures. I have a long growing season 8+ months.
