Speaking of Koi Food (Dainichi)

The only fool is the one who jumps to a conclusion without researching it thoroughly. Cynicism isn't wisdom.

JungleGeorge12,

Do you know Toyoma Koi? I do, very well. I used to be associated with them, so don't butt in unless YOU know what you are talking about. Believe me, there is no cynicism here.

Well, Russell, you have not shared any actual facts about this particular food,but have plenty of nasty things to say about everyone that are more personal in nature. So why don't you butt out unless you have something besides personal judgements, bitterness, and poison to spew?

The problem with Hikari Saki is that it comes in such a large size. If you take a 33lb. bag of Hikari Saki and divide the price per pound it is only about $9.84 a pound(based on $325.00 a bag). Dianichi premium at 11 pounds is about $100.00, so it is $8.78 a pound.Wouldn't you rather have a product, for a $1.06 more a pound, that is made by a company that has the knowledge and ability to create a premium product. As far as putting something like Koizyme into a food, you are right, it will do absolutely nothing to help your fish. It is a waste. They are probably just adding it as a gimmick to boost sales. Most people don't know that if you add any beneficial bacteria to your pond regularly, you will reduce your load of pathogens. This is the theory of competitive exclusion. If you were to add a good quality bacteria to aid in the processing of your ammonia it would do the same thing as Koizyme. Why not add bacteria to oxidize your waste instead of bacteria that reduces levels of aeromonas? If you waste levels are lowered., you are actually going to the root of the problem, rather than using a bandaid.

Saki Hikari is a good food, we feed it along with fresh foods. Seems to give them a complete and balanced diet.
