Saikoh Colour Goldfish and Koi Pellets Medium 500g

Saikoh Colour Goldfish and Koi Pellets Medium 500g are floating, colour-enhancing fish food pellets formulated for goldfish and koi. Made with fish meal, shrimp meal, spirulina and added vitamins, they provide everyday nutrition to support healthy growth, good body condition and vibrant natural colouration.

With a medium pellet size of approximately 3–5mm, Saikoh Colour Pellets are a practical choice for growing koi, larger goldfish and pond fish that comfortably accept medium-sized floating food. Their floating design makes it easy to watch your fish feed and adjust portions to help minimise waste.

The generous 500g pack is ideal for regular feeding in goldfish aquariums and outdoor koi ponds.

Why Choose Saikoh Colour Medium Pellets?

• Supports natural fish colour: Contains spirulina, an ingredient commonly used in colour-enhancing goldfish and koi foods.
• Medium 3–5mm pellets: Suited to fish that have outgrown smaller pellet sizes.
• Floating formula: Allows you to observe feeding and remove uneaten food more easily.
• 33% minimum protein: Provides protein to support healthy growth and body condition.
• Fish and shrimp meal: Supplies animal protein as part of a balanced diet for omnivorous fish.
• Added vitamins: Includes vitamins A, C, D3, E and B-group vitamins.
• Designed for cleaner feeding: Formulated to retain its structure rather than breaking apart immediately in water.
• Convenient 500g pack: Suitable for routine aquarium and pond feeding.

Colour-Enhancing Nutrition for Goldfish and Koi

Good nutrition plays an important role in maintaining healthy goldfish and koi. Along with protein and energy, these omnivorous fish require vitamins, minerals and other nutrients to support normal growth and condition.

Saikoh Colour Medium Pellets combine fish meal and shrimp meal with wheat-based ingredients, yeast and spirulina to provide a balanced prepared food.

Spirulina contributes natural pigments that help support the characteristic colours of ornamental fish, including red, orange and yellow varieties.

Diet is only one factor in fish colouration. Genetics, age, water quality and general health also influence how your goldfish or koi look as they mature.

Medium Floating Pellets – Approximately 3–5mm

The Medium Saikoh Colour Pellets measure approximately 3–5mm, providing a larger feeding option than the Mini 1–2mm pellets.

They are particularly useful for:

• Growing koi: Fish large enough to swallow medium pellets comfortably.
• Common goldfish: Suitable for established fish that readily accept floating pellets.
• Comet goldfish: Convenient for active goldfish kept in aquariums or outdoor ponds.
• Larger fancy goldfish: Suitable for individuals that feed comfortably at the surface.
• Mixed goldfish and koi ponds: Useful where the fish have similar feeding requirements and can consume the same pellet size.

For smaller goldfish or young koi with smaller mouths, Saikoh Colour Mini Pellets may be more appropriate. Fancy goldfish with buoyancy or surface-feeding difficulties may benefit from a suitable sinking diet instead.

Ideal for Aquarium and Pond Feeding

Floating food makes it easier to monitor fish appetite and feeding behaviour. You can see which fish are eating, whether pellets are the correct size and whether excess food is being left behind.

Saikoh Colour Medium Pellets are formulated to remain intact during normal feeding, helping minimise unnecessary food breakdown when fed correctly.

Regular feeding should always be supported by suitable biological filtration, water testing and appropriate aquarium or pond maintenance.

Feeding Instructions

The published Saikoh feeding guide recommends feeding two or three times daily, depending on water temperature and the activity of the fish.

• Offer small portions suited to the number and size of fish.
• Allow fish to feed and observe how quickly the pellets are consumed.
• Adjust the amount so excessive food is not left in the water.
• Remove uneaten pellets where practical.
• Reduce feeding as outdoor pond temperatures fall and fish metabolism slows.
• Use a suitable seasonal food when water temperatures or species requirements make it necessary.

Feeding tip: The published feeding guide refers to food being eaten within 5–10 minutes. For good water quality, smaller portions consumed promptly are preferable to leaving excess food in the aquarium or pond.
