Thread: Talk to me about koi poo and different foods….

This time of year is an awkward one really as they are not long eating a bit again but it's mostly for egg building and cool pond temps (usually!) so they will crap a lot more out until proper summer feeding is underway.

Having said that I did use Coppens one year and found that there was more poo than using stuff like FD/Saki Hikari by a long shot. I also found the top koi stained the water. This time of year tho I always see a lot of poo on the bottom if feeding, it is hard to get the amount right where they are not just crapping it all out!

Must agree , used their food before and found the crap amount considerably more than a higher end food

I’ve now taken the experimental air lift with bag out to see how that goes. The interesting thing is, not only has the clarity improved that much but the colour has cleared too (I expected to have to do water changes to gradually get rid of that). Also my drum is now only washing every 60-65mins whereas before it was 10-15mins.

This is in less than two days, NO ADDITIVES, just using high quality food. I will never use coppens again.

Yeah i moved on from them a while back now . . But these air lift hoover jobs with the filter socks do a cracking job aswell tho I've played with one a few times now

The first pics is a bit like my vision without glasses, well If I was looking from 1ft away anyways, then the second with them on
