I use to feed my Koi Tetra 3-in-1 pond sticks and was happy with it. Then after speaking to various people I thought I'd try Shogun. I bought 1 pack around 3 months ago and this weekend I opened a new pack I bought. I noticed that my fish weren't eating as eagerly as before with the Tetra and now with the new pack of Shogun they are eager at feeding time again. I've been having problems with illness (bacteria) and I ...

The price of raw materials is just going mad. Fish meal for example has gone up twice this month and now stands at over R9,000 per ton. Compare this to a price of R3,500 per ton about 3 - 4 years ago. It seem strange as the demand for many things is falling with the world economic crises in full swing. I also see the rand / yen exchange rate is half that from Septemner last year. This will make imported foods very expensive ...

This was sourced from the Koi Health and Nutrition manual issued by SAKKS and I believe the Nutrition section was contributed by Chris Neaves, our fellow forum member. However, I believe it is better to stick with commercial food which is hopefully fully balanced after due consideration of the demand of Koi.
