Default food

hi

Generally use Yamato Nishki which seems pretty good for the price (around £28 for 5kg) Currently giving Sho koi a go from the koi waterlife centre. More expensive at around £45 for 4.5kg.

I'd like to know the best answer to this question as well so maybe some other people can post their opinions and maybe reason they use that food. Be very helpful
