Saki Hikari Balance Koi Food
Saki-Hikari Balance Koi Food provides an exceptional quality daily diet which promotes health, growth and desirable form. Saki Hakari Balance Diet contains a unique blend of the finest quality proteins, carbohydrates, amino acids & fats. This perfect balance of ingredients results in fat-deposit-free growth
All Saki Hikari Koi Foods include a strain of Bacillus bacteria called Hikari-Germ. The Hikari-Germ is a good bacteria which, when fed, becomes active in the Koi's intestinal tract. Saki-Hikari is most effective when used without interruption as an exclusive daily diet. The Hikari-Germ creates beneficial digestive enzymes thereby improving the digestive capacity of Koi. It also also helps support the fish's own good bacteria, helping prevent a build up of bad bacteria thereby helping build up stronger natural defences.
Furthermore, waste that is excreted is highly decomposed by the activity of the bacteria, which helps maintain the quality of water while also reducing the load on the filter, therefore reducing overall pond maintenance.
