Choosing Yamitsu Koi Food
Floating and sinking Wheatgerm have different declarations: both list 20% protein, but fat is 6% for floating and 7% for sinking. Superior Mix offers separate pellet-size choices, whereas Bombay Mix combines sticks and pellets of different sizes. Treats and Koi Cakes should be planned alongside the daily food ration.

Published declarations are linked above. Guaranteed minimums, typical figures and exact declarations are labelled as such where stated; they are not our laboratory measurements. A dash is not zero: we have not used an unverified number or calculated a blend’s analysis. Pellet options refer to the shop listings; check the selected format and supplied pack. Recipes and pack labels can change.
Pack choices describe the shop listings, not a guarantee that every option is in stock. Use the selected product and supplied label for the current declaration.
Build a feeding routine around the pond
Measure water temperature in the pond. Begin with small portions and watch what is eaten before adding more. Reduce feeding when appetite falls or water quality deteriorates. Increase the ration gradually as conditions improve, particularly after a quiet winter period or a change to the filter.
Check that smaller or quieter fish receive food as well as the most active feeders. For sinking food, observe the area below the surface. Count any treats within the daily ration and remove uneaten food.
Pack size and freshness
Choose a quantity that can be used while fresh. A larger pack is useful only if it suits the feeding rate and can be stored correctly. Litres measure volume and kilograms measure weight; compare declared food weights where possible. Keep food sealed, cool and dry, use a dry scoop and follow the pack’s best-before date.
Questions about Yamitsu Koi Food
Are Yamitsu floating and sinking wheatgerm identical?
No. Both list 20% protein, but floating Wheatgerm declares 6% fat and sinking Wheatgerm 7%. The ingredient lists also differ.
Is Superior Mix the same as Bombay Mix?
No. Superior Mix has separate pellet-size choices. Bombay Mix combines sticks and pellets across a wider range of sizes, so select it only where the intended fish can manage the mixture.
Does a 5 litre tub contain 5 kg of food?
No. Tub volume is not food weight. The listed Yamitsu Flake tub contains 800 g and the EFL Treat Mix tub 750 g; compare the declared net weight.

Compare current pack prices and price per kilogram
Prices follow the current product prices and sale prices, using the net food weight. They use the same tax display as the shop and exclude delivery. Compare the same recipe and pellet size; a larger bag is only better value if you can use it while fresh.
