So what sets Kodama Koi Food apart from other Koi food?
The Latest Technology
The production of Kodama Koi Farm food is being done exclusively in Japan on the newest model of a twin type extruder. This machine expertly handles all the ingredients and manufactures food with outstanding digestive and absorption performance. The twin extruder kneads the ingredients extremely well while perfecting the floating capabilities of the Koi food, which in turn helps to keep the water clean and healthy. After all, it is all for the beauty of your Koi.
New Look
The year 2012 brings a new look to the food pellets. With improved manufacturing processes, we are able to produce a more solid Wheat Germ pellet that will give your koi a fuller feeding. Also due to improved manufacturing techniques, the shiny coating that was used to hold the ColorUp pellets together have now been removed allowing for an even faster absorbtion rate. Your koi will benefit from the same great ingredients that have always been used to produce Kodama Koi Food — the same great food that Kodama Koi Farm has always used to raise the highest quality koi from Japan.

Ingredients
Fresh Wheat Germ
 Wheat germ oil is widely known and used as human health food. The remaining defatted wheat germ is usually used as an ingredient for Koi food. Kodama Koi Food, however, uses the FRESH wheat germ before the oil is extracted. It keeps your Koi healthy and improves its beautiful skin. Kodama Koi Food makes 100% use of what wheat germ can offer unlike other foods.
Top Quality Spirulina
Spirulina is used to make Kodama Koi Food's Color Up. Compared to Chlorella, Spirulina (floating micro algae) is more digestible. It has (60 – 70%) higher protein and a thinner cell wall. Therefore, Spirulina is widely known and used as a sullemental nutritional source of protein, vitamins, minerals and more.
 In aquaculture, Spirulina is recognized to improve immunity and flesh quality, but it is more commonly used to enhance colors with various carotenoids in it. Especially in Koi, Spirulina is mainly used to enhance red.
Productions of Spirulina greatly varies with climate. Carotenoids level of Spirulina changes by climates with the range of 1000 to 5000 ppm. No compromise is made in selecting Spirulina for Kodama Koi Food. Only 4000 ppm or higher Spirulina is used to produce Kodama Koi Food Color Up. It assures your your Koi's beauty will be maximized!
Fishmeal and Other Ingredients
Fishmeal, the main ingredient, is also strictly examined to assure the lowest levels of histamine and ethoxyquin, both of which can cause health problems in Koi. Vitamins and minerals are also added and properly mixed for maximum preservation.
Bio Stone
Bio Stone is a mineral with silicon aluminum as its main proportion. It not only acts to keep Koi healthy, but also helps maintain good water quality by absorbing ammonia.

- Food amount each time is as much as Koi can finish within 5 – 10 minutes.
- Soluble vitamins can be quickly dissolved in water. This will pollute water and cause the loss of nutrition. Before feeding, make sure there are no leftover pellets in the water.
