There are many parts of koi food that you have to take into account, if I have forgotten one let me know in the comments and let me know what brand of Koi food you are using at the moment.
Nowadays, there are many koi foods on the market that are derived from feeds for consumption fish. Feeds that aim to get the fish as large as possible for human consumption. A worrying development in which the health of the fish is not central.
I will discuss the most important points so that you can choose the best feed within your budget. Watch the video completely so you know exactly what to look out for!
First of all don’t let a fancy packages with the most beautiful and largest fish on them trick you to buy those.
So what does a Koi need? A koi does not have a stomach like most animals but only has intestines. In the intestines, the intake of all important nutrients that the koi extracts from the food takes place.
Basically, the Koi removes the so-called macronutrients from its food. This concerns proteins, fats and carbohydrates.
Let's start with the proteins. For most hobbyists, the first thing they look at when buying a koi food. Proteins are extremely important for the growth and health of the fish. We can divide the proteins into vegetable and natural proteins.
A good koi food contains natural, aquatic proteins such as high-quality fish meal. A cheaper Koi food often contains proteins from warm-blooded animals such as beef.
We as humans can take unlimited proteins while a Koi cannot, this is completely dependent on the water temperature and with a surplus of proteins the Koi will store this as fat around the organs. The solution? Seasonal food. Let's get back tot hat later this video.
The following part is very complex and can be studied in detail, I will try to explain the most important parts. We are talking about fats in koi food.
Basically there are three different functions of fats for a Koi. The first is energy. Fats are basically one of the first energy sources for the Koi. The second is growth. A koi needs fats to grow. And the third is the storage of energy. 3 very important parts that many hobbyists do not take into account when buying koi food.
The last of the 3 macronutrients is in my eyes the most important and underestimated of all 3. Carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are nothing more than starch and sugars. Together with the fats, the energy supplier for the Koi.
Just like in our food, too many carbohydrates are bad for you and a surplus will immediately be converted into fat. After all, they are sugars.
We can conclude that a surplus of proteins and carbohydrates is the direct cause of fat deposits around the organs of the koi. It is therefore very important to look at the quantities on the label when purchasing your koi food. A manufacturer is obliged to state this.
To make koi food you need a binder and these are carbohydrates. A good koi food uses ingredients that can be found close to the natural food of the carp. So, to give an example, they are not grains.
The following tips that I give you so that next time you buy a reliable and good koi food.
As I said earlier in previous videos, study the label well. Note the percentages. A koi food can only consist of a composition that is 100%. No less and certainly no more.
Do you see ingredients such as grain or soy on the label? Keep in mind that these ingredients have little nutritional value.
Do you want tips on how you can quickly grow Koi in your own pond?

Thanks for watching.
Wow just found this video and I am so happy you posted it as I watched it. So much I need to learn. However I am so happy that I am learning all of this before I start building my pond or purchasing Koi. You have been so much help to me and thank you so much. 🙏 🙏🙏
Enjoying your videos, very helpful as i love to learn about this hobby,season upon season and it justs adds to my enjoyment knowing that i am improving the quality of my koi's life and that i can discuss what ive learnt with my family that also love to keep fish.
Great information.. I love these videos thank you
Amazing video, especially the information about feses👍
Very informative. Thank you.
I feed my goldfish (common and fancy) mainly with Tropical (a brand from Poland) and Hikari. Sometime I add Northfin and New life spectrum vegetable food. I love Tropical and Hikari because when you wish to see the full potential growth of your fish or the color, you have results with these two brand. Plus, the fish really adore the taste! Northfin is the only food who have the Montmorillonite clay in their pellets. So, it's an interesting addition for Koi and Goldfish growth.
Thank you very much for your sharing it very useful for me and my koi.
YESSSSS..look foward to the new vids ALWAYS 😉💪
Thanks has been waiting for this topic
Beautiful color and big fish awesome video I really like it
Nice information... Thank you!! 👍
More videos like this keep up the good work thanks
As always very good video and topic.
I just got baby domestic koi (USA), this was very helpful. Petco only sold two brands of food and I suppose I was just lucky enough to grab the right one (Hikari).
very good information.. you are rights, not everybody can buy good quality koi food ( like me ).. but i always try to do best keeping i can..
TYSM just what I needed to know for my fishies :)
Great video! I'm just starting to experiment with my own food. In a future video, could you go in depth into color enhancements, vitimans, and more specific ingredients? Thanks!
Great information. Wrong kind of carbs make fat koi. Just like in people. I fed my aquarium fish Hikari. Good advice about poop too. Hoping to get some koi soon. Thank you 😊
I don't even have koi but I love these videos. If only a struggling college student could have a koi pond lol.
