USAGE

This is not a 'color food'. Color foods are metabolically expensive, meaning that koi expend valuable energy into coloring-up instead of converting the energy into increased body mass. The high levels of carotenoids present in the krill produce great reds (hi), however, for deeper magenta tone red and blue colors, this formula could be supplemented with one of our spirulina containing formulas such as PREMIUM or COLOR INTENSIFIER.
Feed your fish only as much as they will eat (immediately) in a few minutes, 2 to 4 times daily. Smaller, more frequent feeding are preferred over a single large one. All Dainichi foods have low levels of starches to prevent excessive swelling in the digestive tract and to maintain a lean show-ready body conformation. GROWTH PLUS is a growth promoter without equal in any climate, but is especially valuable for use in northern climates, where the peak growth season is relatively short. This formula can be used at any time as long as the water temperature is above 60°-65° F for extended periods of time.
 

There are no tricks to growing-out great looking and robust tosai (one year old) koi.
As this 14 inch showa demonstrates, the high levels of marine proteins (44% protein) are precisely what is needed to do the job.

The lean and powerful body conformation of this sanke are directly dependent on the low fat and low carbohydrate content of this formula.
Body conformation such as this is not made on a cereal diet.
The fish and krill protein promote spectacular growth without a fat build-up in the process.
