Dainichi Koi Color Intensifier 2.5kg Small (3mm) Floating Pellets — Fast-acting colour floating pellet for a full koi colour season
A larger group of koi all needing a colour lift through a warm season is a different job to touching up a few show fish, and a small bag of colour food runs out well before the season does. Dainichi Koi Color Intensifier 2.5kg Small (3mm) Floating Pellets (SKU: 101597) is the mid-size bag of Dainichi’s fast colour formula, built around an encapsulation process the maker says enhances colour beyond conventional methods. The colour enhancers and nutrients stay raw and uncooked through processing, which Dainichi describes as exceptionally strong, and vitamins C and E are added to lift luster, sheen and the whiteness of white patterning across a pond’s worth of fish.
Guaranteed analysis is crude protein 41% minimum, crude fat 4% minimum, crude fibre 5% maximum, moisture 9% maximum and ash 9% maximum, built from white fish meal, wheat germ, krill, wheat flour and spirulina with soybean meal, brewer’s yeast, powdered milk and calcium montmorillonite clay. Feed one to three times daily at 15.5°C (60°F) or above, offering only what the koi clear within five to ten minutes, with maximum colour typically reached in four to six weeks. Dainichi says continuous use causes no issues, but prolonged or very heavy feeding can turn white koi slightly pink, and the fix is to reduce feeding or switch formulas, Premium excepted since it also enhances colour. At 2.5 kg, this bag covers a full warm-season colour programme across a group of koi rather than a short touch-up, and it combines with Growth Plus, All-season or Premium when colour is not the only goal.
