Dainichi Koi Premium 5kg Small (3mm) Floating Pellets — Bulk all-round growth and colour floating pellet for a large koi pond
A larger pond, a mild-winter climate that allows year-round feeding, or several ponds under one roof all push through food at a rate where small bags of an everyday diet stop making sense. Dainichi Koi Premium 5kg Small (3mm) Floating Pellets (SKU: 101599) is the bulk bag of Dainichi’s balanced maintenance, colour and growth formula, built on five protein sources with spirulina and krill contributing to both nutrition and natural colour. Dainichi describes Premium as its most popular koi food, the one many keepers settle on as a single everyday diet rather than rotating dedicated growth and colour formulas, and the 5 kg size suits a larger pond or an operation feeding many koi through the warmer months and beyond.
Guaranteed analysis is crude protein 42% minimum, crude fat 4% minimum, crude fibre 4% maximum, moisture 9% maximum and ash 9% maximum, from white fish meal, wheat germ, wheat flour, krill and soybean meal with spirulina, brewer’s yeast, powdered milk and calcium montmorillonite clay. A two-step vitamin and mineral process applies vitamins C and E for luster, sheen and white coloration, and the clay, garlic and uncooked digestive enzymes in the recipe support digestion. Feed one to three times daily at 15.5°C (60°F) or above, offering only what the pond clears within five to ten minutes; Dainichi recommends spring through fall in temperate climates, or year-round feeding where winters stay mild enough. At 5 kg, Premium can carry a large pond through an entire feeding season as the sole diet, or sit alongside Growth Plus, All-season or Color Intensifier for keepers who still want to lean toward growth or colour at particular times.
