Thread: Koi food that boost's fishes colour

I found SH colour really good personally, definitely could see more radiant beni from my showa's!

i've used different 'colour' foods but none have improved beni like saki colour did.

i feed it above 20C mixed with balance and growth from june to september,
not much point in feeding much below 20C imo,
as you are paying a premium for food that needs a high temperature for good assimilation, or they are just crapping that expensive food out...
also if i find the beni getting a bit too strong i just dial back the percentage of colour food in the mix.

I used Aquasource Colour food.

I didn't see much difference in the colour of the fish, maybe a very minor boost, although it may've just been me convincing myself as I'd spent so much money on the food.

i know its the only affordable way to buy saki sometimes...
but i can't hack paying that retail price when 15kgs is 200% more product for an extra 100% of the cost.

i'm keeping my eye out for some deals at the national show this july,
I got 15kg of saki colour for less than £200 last year

through the summer I make a GBC (Growth, Balance, Colour) mix averagely 1/3rd of each equal proportions.

but i skew that mix going into summer and coming out again in autumn with more balance or colour,
depending if i think the fish need more or less colour food.
and increase the growth percentage a bit in the height of summer, to get maximum growth.

you will probably get more growth feeding just growth and colour.

but i think some of my older fish don't appreciate such a high growth diet, as they are only putting on about 5 -10cm max a year now...
so i feed a more varied mixture
