Colour-Enhancing Nutrition for Goldfish and Koi

Goldfish and koi are well known for their orange, red, yellow and patterned colouration. While genetics play an important role in their appearance, a balanced diet containing suitable pigments and nutrients helps maintain their natural colours.

Saikoh Colour Pellets contain spirulina, a nutrient-rich ingredient commonly included in colour-supporting fish foods.

The formula also includes fish meal, shrimp meal, wheat-based ingredients and vitamins to provide a balanced prepared food for compatible omnivorous fish.

Regular feeding, good water quality and suitable pond or aquarium conditions all contribute to healthy growth and fish colouration.

Small Floating Pellets for Easier Feeding

Saikoh Colour Mini Pellets measure approximately 1–2mm, making them a practical option for smaller mouths.

The floating design is particularly useful because it allows fishkeepers to observe feeding behaviour and adjust portions before excess food accumulates.

These pellets can be used in suitable:

• Goldfish aquariums: For common, comet and compatible fancy goldfish that comfortably accept floating pellets.
• Koi ponds: For smaller and growing koi that benefit from a mini pellet size.
• Outdoor goldfish ponds: A convenient prepared food for regular feeding during suitable water temperatures.
• Mixed goldfish and koi ponds: Suitable when the fish are able to eat the same pellet size and have compatible nutritional needs.

Note: Fancy goldfish prone to buoyancy or surface-feeding difficulties may benefit from an appropriate sinking food instead.

Feeding Instructions

Published Saikoh feeding guidance recommends offering food two or three times daily, adjusted for water temperature and fish activity.

• Feed small portions that your fish can comfortably consume.
• Observe feeding and avoid adding more food than required.
• Remove uneaten pellets to help maintain water quality.
• Reduce feeding when pond water becomes cold and fish activity slows.
• Use an appropriate seasonal or wheat-germ-based food where required for colder water conditions.

Important: Feeding needs vary with fish size, water temperature and season. The published guidance refers to food being eaten within approximately 5–10 minutes, but smaller portions eaten promptly are preferable where practical.
