Feeding Tips

  • When Kois do not eat willingly, refrain from feeding.

  • It is recommended to feed your fish during the hours between daybreak and nightfall or when pond temperature is steady and at its peak.

  • If your fish have healthy appetites, the recommended amount of ToMiGai Koi Food at 69°F to 85°F is 2.5 percent to 3 percent of your Koi's body weight per day. This amount should be consumed within 2 to 4 feeding periods daily.

  • To enhance the color of your koi, you may increase the percentage of ToMiGai Spirulina used in each feeding period.

  • Koi food unconsummed within 5 minutes of feeding is recommended to be netted out of the Pond.

  • It is recommended that the optimum Koi pond conditions be achieved to increase Koi appetite.

  • It is advised that stored Koi food remain dry in package. Please ensure that one's hand or scooping cup remain dry when taking ToMiGai Koi Food from box.

ToMiGai Koi Food is packaged through the Nitrogen gas rush packaging method. Oxygen, which shows to be a primary cause of spoilage, is eliminated from the bag then pumped with Nitrogen to ensure that moisture levels are kept at a minimum. Nitrogen gas is proven to maintain quality and freshness of food for prolonged periods of time, and because contents are allowed to move freely within the bag, the integrity of the shape and form of ToMiGai Koi Food is maintained.
