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.

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.
