Although many people might think Koi are simply large goldfish, owners know they have their own special dietary needs. For optimal color and health, feed them special Koi foods rather than goldfish food, or even standard pond foods. Here are the Koi foods I would choose.
Sho Koi Impact contains dried bugs, pupae, larvae, air-dried krill and air dried fresh water shrimp, to enhance colors in Koi naturally. Highly digestible and long floating. A bit more expensive than standard staple foods, but worth the extra cost.

Teta Pond Growth is an excellent food to offer Koi during the warmer months when they experience growth spurts. Well balanced with high protein and the A vitamins and minerals necessary for optimal growth.
