Dainichi Koi Growth Plus 2.5kg Small (3mm) Floating Pellets

Description

Dainichi Koi Growth Plus 2.5kg Small (3mm) Floating Pellets — High-protein floating pellet for koi growing through a full season

An established group of koi that are still short of their adult size needs sustained feeding on a growth diet across the whole warm season, not a top-up bag that runs out partway through. Dainichi Koi Growth Plus 2.5kg Small (3mm) Floating Pellets (SKU: 101596) is the mid-size bag of Dainichi’s growth-focused koi formula, built mainly for maximum growth and superior body conformation with protein drawn from Antarctic krill, shrimp and white fish meal. Growth Plus carries no added colour enhancers beyond the natural carotenoids already in the krill and shrimp, so Dainichi’s intent is that the fish’s energy is directed into growth rather than pigment during the season this bag covers.

Guaranteed analysis is crude protein 44% minimum, crude fat 5% minimum, crude fibre 5% maximum, moisture 9% maximum and ash 9% maximum, one of the higher protein profiles in Dainichi’s koi range, built from white fish meal, krill, shrimp and soybean meal with wheat germ, brewer’s dried yeast, powdered milk, garlic and calcium montmorillonite clay. Feed one to three times daily, offering only what the group clears within five to ten minutes, and use the formula only once water temperatures hold at 15.5°C (60°F) or above for an extended stretch rather than a single mild day. The krill and shrimp carotenoids give strong reds on their own; for deeper magenta and blue, Dainichi recommends pairing Growth Plus with a spirulina-based formula such as Premium or Color Intensifier. At 2.5 kg, the bag is sized to carry an established group through a full growing season, and the formula is noted as especially useful where that season is short.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• A full growing season: A 2.5 kg bag sized to last an established group across the season.
• Growth priority: When body conformation and size matter more than pigment during this period.
• Sustained warm weather: Fed once temperatures hold at 15.5°C (60°F) and above.
• Short growing-season regions: Where Dainichi says the formula earns its keep.

Feeding Guide

• Minimum water temperature: Feed only once water holds at 15.5°C (60°F) or above for an extended period.
• One to three feeds daily: Offer only what the group clears within five to ten minutes.
• Pair with a colour formula if wanted: Add Premium or Color Intensifier for deeper magenta and blue.
• Floating pellet: Scatter at the surface and let the group clear it before topping up.
