What are Koi hiban and shiroji?
The hiban and shiroji of a Koi refer to patches of colour. A hiban is a patch of red on your koi and a shiroji is a patch of white. Saki Hikari Deep Red is a supplemental floating diet intended to bring out the contrast between the hiban and shiroji of your Koi creating incredibly vibrant specimens. This scientifically formulated diet has been designed for competition Koi, who are often judged on the colour and vibrancy of their hiban.
What are the benefits of Saki Hikari Deep Red floating Koi food?
Saki Hikari Deep Red Koi food contains an exact quantity of select, pure-cultured spirulina which is naturally enriched with high levels of carotenoids. These carotenoids will help your koi develop more rapid colouration, and reduce the likelihood of discolouration.
This feed also features Hikari Germ, a naturally occurring microorganism that helps to improve Koi health and development, ideal for any contest Koi. Saki Hikari Deep Red reconditions waste into smaller particles so your filter can more easily handle it, which can improve overall water quality, filter effectiveness, and reduce the frequency of regular pond maintenance.
What is the best way to feed my Koi Saki Hikari Deep Red?
For a complete diet, you should use Saki Hikari Deep Red as a supplemental feed alongside other Saki Hikari products. While Saki Hikari Deep Red contains all the basic nutrition your Koi requires, a varied diet will offer your Koi a rich assortment of the key vitamins and proteins recommended to help Koi develop. Deep Red is a supplementary food and exclusively feeding it could cause some discolouration of the white areas, shiroji, of your Koi over time.
It is best to feed your Koi Saki Hikari Deep Red at a water temperature of 20ÂșC or above. In these temperatures, the uniquely blended ingredient mix with draft ingredients like the pure cultured Spirulina will work most effectively to enhance the colour of your Koi.
