Love this place and the staff! Fish are amazing, all sizes and prices. Fish healthy and water clear. Everything we have purchased from here has been free of any health issues and is doing well in our ponds. There is a fish for all price ranges as well and some uncommon goldfish. Staff knows what they are doing and gives good feedback re: any questions.

Hikari Spirulina Koi Food: Color-Enhancing Supplement for Deeper Reds
Hikari Spirulina Koi Food: Color-Enhancing Supplement for Deeper Reds
Hikari® Spirulina is a color food. It carries a measured amount of pure-cultured spirulina — naturally dense in carotenoids — to deepen and enrich the reds on your koi.
Hikari positions this as a supplemental diet meant to be mixed with your daily food, not fed on its own. Their own guidance on the Hi-Growth bag is to blend in up to 30% Spirulina. That's the sensible way to use it: keep your staple doing the nutritional work and let the Spirulina handle pigment.
Guaranteed analysis
- Crude protein: min 40.0%
- Crude fat: min 3.0%
- Crude fibre: max 5.0%
- Moisture: max 10.0%

- Phosphorus: min 1.0%
- Vitamin A 20,000 IU/kg · D3 3,000 IU/kg · E 620 IU/kg · ascorbic acid 440 mg/kg
Note the vitamin A and C levels — roughly double what you'll find in a standard growth food.
Feeding
- Feed when water temperature is consistently above 70°F, two to four times daily. That's a higher threshold than most Hikari diets — color work is warm-water work.
- Feed only what your koi finish in a few minutes and remove the rest. Uneaten color food fouls water as readily as any other.
- Blend with your daily diet rather than feeding alone.
Bag
11 lb (5 kg) bag, medium or large floating pellets.
Why buy from ChampKoi?
ChampKoi has kept koi from our San Jose, California facility since 1998. Carotenoids degrade with age and heat, so freshness matters more on a color food than on anything else in your shed. Ask us if you want help planning a color push before a show.
