Yes they do, and it is used to glue things together I could not resist

I'm looking for something that can do Super Ultra Jumbo! However, until I find that this will do and it doesn't sound any harder to prepare than pancakes!

I don't see an order button?

Hi Troy
I already use peas in mine, I do feed sweet potatoe to them, if you can puree it to a thin enough consistancy to mix it in, sure why not.

Back to the weight of my koi . I have heard that adding Sweet Potatos to a koi's diet will add size to them ? Thought the paste food would be away to add it ?

I haven't tried the potatoe thing but paste by itself has a great reputation. It should beef the fish. Perhaps like me, you tend to underfeed in the summer?

Could someone please direct me on JR's secret paste food recipe? I am also looking for another bag or two of Izeki paste food. If any of you have any to spare please let me know.....gonna make myself a killer paste food to add some 'umph' to my koi.

I JUST mixed up my last cupfull and fed it to the koi.

They will be pretty disappointed if I don`t find some more soon!! I also had to order more Hi Silk , I can`t believe how much more my fish are eating this year, these bigger girls really do eat alot more than I thought they would.But they are bulking up and my water looks great , so I`m not complaining!

I wonder if you could make little balls of paste and then dehydrate in a machine?......like dry fruit.......

Finally got my hands on a 5kg bag of Izeki F-DX paste food! Yahoo! It was the last bag, too! Paid an arm and a leg for it but definitely worth it. Now all I need is to find JR's secret paste food recipe (if I remember correctly it had ground up catfish and a plethora of other ingredients). My koi will be growing like they are on 'roids!

Have any of you considered grinding up high quality pellets (s/a Hi-Silk or Saki-Hikari) and making your own paste food?
