Dainichi Koi Premium 500g Small (3mm) Floating Pellets — All-round growth and colour floating pellet for everyday koi feeding
Most koi keepers do not want to juggle a growth food and a colour food for every feed, and a diet that only does one job well means switching bags depending on the season. Dainichi Koi Premium 500g Small (3mm) Floating Pellets (SKU: 101595) is Dainichi’s balanced maintenance, colour and growth formula, built around five protein sources with spirulina and krill contributing to both nutrition and colour enhancement. Dainichi positions Premium as the most popular food in its koi range precisely because it does not force a choice between growth and colour, and the 500 g pack is a sensible everyday quantity for a trial or a smaller pond.
Guaranteed analysis is crude protein 42% minimum, crude fat 4% minimum, crude fibre 4% maximum, moisture 9% maximum and ash 9% maximum, with white fish meal, wheat germ, wheat flour, krill and soybean meal leading the ingredients alongside spirulina, brewer’s yeast, powdered milk and calcium montmorillonite clay. Vitamins C and E are applied in a two-step vitamin and mineral process that Dainichi says supports luster, sheen and white coloration, while the clay, garlic and uncooked digestive enzymes in the formula support digestion. 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; Dainichi recommends it for spring through fall in temperate climates, or year-round where winters are mild. Premium can be fed alone as a complete diet or alongside Growth Plus, All-season or Color Intensifier when a keeper wants to lean further toward growth or colour at a given time of year.
