A Daily Diet For Show Koi Offering Accelerated Growth

A daily diet offering outstanding growth characteristics to help the advanced hobbyist develop jumbo sized champions!

• Expect accelerated growth and championship form! During the development of this diet primary consideration was given to the natural, omnivorous requirements of Nishikigoi. With this in mind Hikari developed an exacting blend of lipids and other necessary nutritional components which can reduce the chances of internal fat deposits which have been proven to be problematic for koi.
• The uniquely balanced ingredients and their availability make this a natural choice for younger koi during their formative period.
• The use of carefully selected protein sources makes this diet appealing to the most finicky eaters while offering them a nutrient package that they can readily digest.
• Manufactured in our own facilities, to our exacting standards, to provide benefits not available with standard koi diets.
• Saki-Hikari is most effective when used without interruption as an exclusive daily diet. The benefits of the Hikari-Germ do not continue once feeding is discontinued. Intermittent feeding or use with other foods mixed in will not provide the optimal benefits.

Carefully feed the amount your fish will completely consume within a few minutes, based on your water temperature, pond condition and the activity level of your fish.

How this differs from Saki-Hikari Color Enhancing, the
other Saki-Hikari diet on this site, because the two are easy to confuse at
the same weight. Growth carries half again the fat (9.0% against 6.0%),
more phosphorus (1.7% against 1.2%), a higher ash ceiling, more vitamin A
and vitamin E, and its probiotic count is a thousand times higher
— 10⁹ CFU/g against 10⁶. Protein is the
same 40.0% in both.

Hikari’s own two notes on both these diets, printed here as they print them: ingredients can differ slightly between production runs because the formula is updated, and the high proportion of natural ingredients means the colour of the food itself can vary a little from one lot to the next. Neither is a fault.

Not published. Hikari give no percentage for any single
ingredient, no calcium figure, and no shelf life or best-before period for
this food. Use the date printed on the bag you receive.
