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 N-20 Koi Food – The Sakai Fish Farm Formula, 20 kg Floating
Hikari N-20 Koi Food – The Sakai Fish Farm Formula, 20 kg Floating
Hikari N-20 is the food Sakai Fish Farm feeds its own koi. Kyorin has manufactured this formula for Sakai of Hiroshima for more than 30 years, and only in recent years was it made available outside the farm. Kyorin states it was used in developing recent All Japan Grand Champions. There is no stronger endorsement in this hobby than what the Sakai family puts in their own ponds.
What it is
- Premium maintenance and growth base diet, floating large pellet (8–9 mm)
- Guaranteed analysis: crude protein min 35%, crude fat min 3%, fiber max 2%
- Fish meal and wheat germ lead the ingredient list, with chitosan, seaweed meal and garlic
- Palatability is the design goal: koi keep feeding past normal satiation, which is how Sakai builds volume on young fish
Feeding it
- Feed at water temperatures of 60°F and above; 2 to 4 times daily above 70°F
- This is a warm-season base food. As water cools toward 60°F, transition to a wheat germ diet
- Runs well alongside a color food if you are pushing beni during the growing season
One naming note
N-20 is not part of the Saki-Hikari line, despite the similar name. Saki-Hikari is Hikari's own premium series; N-20 is Sakai Fish Farm's private formula, manufactured by the same company. If you have fed Saki-Hikari Growth and wondered what the breeders themselves use, this is the answer.
Why buy from ChampKoi?
We import koi from Japan's top farms and this is the class of food those fish were raised on. One 44 lb bag is a season's base diet for a well-stocked pond.
