Is there any more sources for Silk Powder Koi pellet like Hi Silk or similar?

?? Kodama carries Hi Silk, if I understand your question. Not sure if it is stocked this time of year. Freshness issue if it is, perhaps?

Koi food contains silk pupae :
- Ogata Special Silk Power
- Kusuri Super Silk - 20
- Miracle koi food
- Kenko Kanri Hi-Silk 21

I've tried Ogata & Hi-Silk.
I feel Ogata give better growth & less waste for my koi than Hi-Silk.

Mike is right. Freshness issue. Hi Silk usually comes in around spring time and readily available at many west coast dealers. But some may still have overstock as well....

Art
Eastern Nishikigoi, is the distributor for the United States, they wholesale out to some dealers, Champion Koi, Fancy Koi outlet and Majestic koi ,are a few of them that I know off the top of my head. I don't think any of the dealers will have any left in there inventory.. If so it would be at least 10 months old. As far as price I think a 3kg bag of Ogata Silk Power is $45. I don't remember the price on Hi Silk 21.
