Get ready for some exciting growth!
Hikari has developed a diet specifically tailored to meet the natural, omnivorous needs of Koi, and it's truly a game changer for your aquatic friends.
Saki Growth, features meticulously selected protein sources, creating a nutrient-rich floating pellet that's not only easy to digest but also irresistible to fish.
The floating pellets are fantastic for encouraging your Koi to come to the surface, allowing you to monitor their health and build a connection with them.
I personally feed this to both our small Koi and goldfish, and I can confidently say that I’ve seen remarkable results. The fish maintain proper form and vibrant color, without the worry of fat deposits in unwanted areas.
At our hatchery, we provide a variety of Hikari foods, and the results speak for themselves—just look at the stunning photos of our fish!
The pellet is 2.5-3mm perfect size to feed to your koi and we also feed our smaller shubunkins,comets & marigolds.
