Which Food and WHY
What foods do you feed your koi, do they have a preference or do you just give them whatever is the best value ?

Re: Which Food and WHY
Iv'e always used the Nutrikoi range since it was first brought out but for some reason they are turning their noses up at it, so I put some paste food in and they soon munched it all up.
So looking for another food to try them with for a while.

Re: Which Food and WHY
I alternate between Yamitsu Grow and Show
and Yamota Nishiki.
Both seem good without a lot of waste and not bad priced at £5 kilo

Yes have always got a little film on the surface when the food goes in, it does not cause a problem in my pond. Are you having problems with it ?
