V74 17/7/10 Feeding Marubeni Food

Today is my first time trying Marubeni floating food. I used the top grade large pellet food. It is also uncoated, so should have a high absorption rate like FD Food, but sells for less than half the price of FD Food. Buddies have tried it with results they are very pleased with, so here goes.

Do koi slow down with age? Mine are about 1-6 years old ranging from, 14 to 24 inches. But they zip around the pond at top speed bumping into each other, I like how yours are nice and relaxed.

@Reccasama Koi with good growth genes can reach 24" before they reach 2 years old. Bigger koi (above 30 inches) are much more graceful swimmers and they find the zipping around of small koi very annoying.

how long have you been in the koi business? and was this the first koi pond that you built or did you have another one?

@jordan628trisha I'm only in my 6th year as a koi hobbyist. I only have 1 pond, and it has been renovated 4 times. Am very happy with my pond system now.

@luckyangemail Hi Pony, glad to hear you are having good results with Marubeni food too. Cheers.

@hooinc WOW, ok, I would of figured with such a gorgeous pond and quality fish, you had at least 10+ years experience in the hobby, you must of had a great mentor in koi ponds.

@kaytao Thanks KT. I actually wish they would release their eggs into the pond. Yes, the water will foul up but some major water changes would do the trick. Instead, if the eggs are not released, there might be egg impaction problems threatening their lives further down the road. Also, sometimes the eggs don't develop in equal amounts on either side of the body, leading to lopsidedness.
