KiGen Miori 6mm Floating Koi Food

KiGen Miori 6mm Floating Koi Food

Balanced everyday feeding for koi growth, colour and condition

KiGen Miori is a 6 mm floating koi food for keepers who want a dependable everyday diet that balances growth, body shape, colour and general condition. With 38% protein and a combination of fishmeal and poultry meal, it provides an accessible entry into the KiGen range for koi that comfortably take a 6 mm pellet.

Miori is particularly useful for an established pond where a practical feeding routine matters more than an intensive grow-on programme. The floating pellets keep the meal visible, helping you judge appetite, see whether quieter fish are getting their share and stop before excess food is left in the water.

What makes Miori different?

Miori takes a different approach to the LT71-led premium recipes. It combines poultry meal with FM66 fishmeal to balance ingredient cost and nutritional value, while retaining KiGen’s attention to carbohydrate sources and the vitamin and mineral premix. It is a complete everyday choice within the range rather than a concentrated young-koi growth food.

• 38% finished-feed protein.
• 6 mm floating pellet for easy observation at feeding time.
• Poultry meal and FM66 fishmeal provide the main animal protein ingredients.
• Wheat feed meal, sorghum, triticale and wheatgerm are listed cereal ingredients.
• Formulated for steady body development and support of natural red and white colour.
• Three bag sizes: 1.2 kg, 5 kg and 10 kg.

Understanding the ingredients

Animal proteins for regular feeding

The combination of poultry meal and fishmeal supplies protein for tissue maintenance and growth. Miori’s published label names poultry meat meal, fishmeal 66 and fishmeal 70. It does not state their inclusion percentages; 38% is the protein content of the finished food. This distinction is useful when comparing recipes: a fishmeal grade or inclusion percentage is not the same as a bag’s declared protein level.

Sorghum, wheatgerm and the premix

The label lists wheat feed meal first, followed later by sorghum, triticale and wheatgerm among the cereal ingredients. Starch has two practical jobs in an extruded food: supplying energy and helping bind the pellet. A stable pellet is easier to feed cleanly because it holds together while the koi eat.

The vitamin and mineral premix complements the main ingredients. Miori is formulated to support everyday vitality and the natural appearance of beni, the red markings, and shiroji, the white areas. It is intended to provide balanced nutrition through routine feeding; extra portions should not be used as a shortcut to stronger colour or faster growth.

Miori formula at a glance

These figures and the composition below follow the label artwork published in KiGen’s own product galleries, checked on 7 September 2026. The labels name sorghum, whereas the January brochure uses millet. We use the label wording here and omit ingredient inclusion percentages that it does not declare. Check the bag supplied for the declaration and instructions applicable to that pack.

When Miori suits your pond

Choose Miori for active koi needing a balanced main diet through the normal feeding season. KiGen’s product guidance places it broadly in the April-to-October period, but water temperature and appetite are more useful than calendar dates. A warm September and a cold April can call for very different rations.

For a dedicated lower-protein maintenance routine, especially in cooler active periods, Manju is the more relevant KiGen option. For young fish needing a smaller pellet and a growth-focused recipe, the 3 mm Tosai foods are a better starting point. Kinsai offers the premium LT71-based alternative for koi ready for 6 mm pellets.

Temperature-based feeding guide

The following Miori guide gives the total food for the whole day as a percentage of the fish’s combined body weight. Use it conservatively, divide the ration between small feeds and offer only what the fish can clear within a few minutes.

For a pond containing an estimated 10 kg of koi, a daily rate of 0.3% means 30 g of food in total. At 20–22°C, the table’s 0.45–0.65% range would correspond to 45–65 g per day for that same fish weight. These are calculation examples, not a fixed ration for every pond of a particular volume.

Higher feeding levels depend on good oxygen supply, established filtration and stable water quality. If appetite drops or uneaten pellets collect, reduce the quantity. Rising ammonia or nitrite is also a reason to cut back promptly. The guide says not to feed below 8°C and to reduce the ration above 28°C; follow the current bag instructions if they differ.

Bag choice, introduction and storage

The 1.2 kg bag is convenient for trying Miori or feeding a small collection. The 5 kg size suits regular use, while the 10 kg bag is useful where the pond’s consumption will keep it moving through promptly. All three are 6 mm floating pellets. Select a bag size above for its current price and availability.

Change foods progressively, checking how the koi accept the new pellet and how much waste is produced. Store the bag cool and dry, close it after each feed and use a clean, dry scoop. Avoid buying more than your fish can use within the pack’s storage and best-before guidance.
