Mizuki Summer - Complete food for koi - 3 kg

A summer food for Koi suitable for high temperatures

Mizuki Summer was developed to meet the specific needs of Koi when water temperatures rise. During this period, the fish are generally more active, move around more, and feed more readily. Their metabolism then operates at a faster rate, justifying the use of a food capable of providing a higher nutritional density while remaining easily digestible .

Its formula is therefore particularly suited to the summer season and periods when the water remains warm enough to allow for sustained feeding. It provides Koi with the protein and energy they need without neglecting digestibility, an important point when naturally increasing feeding frequency during the warmer months.

40% protein to support Koi growth in summer

With 40% crude protein , Mizuki Summer offers a high protein content, particularly beneficial during the fish's most active phase. Protein contributes to tissue renewal and supports koi growth, especially when pond conditions are favorable and the fish benefit from temperatures that allow for optimal nutrient absorption.

The recipe combines fishmeal, rich in protein and amino acids, with several plant-based sources such as soy, broad beans, wheat, and rapeseed. This combination provides a complete diet designed to support steady growth without promoting excessive or unbalanced weight gain.

This high protein content is accompanied by a 7% fat content, providing energy while maintaining a formulation suitable for daily use during the warm season.

Highly digestible food to limit waste in the pond

A rich food is only beneficial if it can be properly digested. Mizuki Summer has therefore been formulated to offer good digestibility , ensuring that the nutrients provided are efficiently utilized by the fish. This characteristic is particularly important in summer, when Koi may receive several small feedings throughout the day.

Easily digestible ingredients also help limit unnecessary waste from feed. Combined with properly dosed feeding, this digestibility helps reduce the amount of organic waste produced in the pond and thus facilitates the filtration system's workload.

5mm granules suitable for Koi from 20cm

Mizuki Summer is offered in 5mm granules , a versatile size perfectly suited to Koi from around 20cm. This diameter is well-suited to ponds housing medium to adult fish and allows for easy feeding.

The pellets' stability in the water prevents them from disintegrating too quickly. This allows the fish to consume them more cleanly and reduces the dispersion of fine particles in the pond. This stability is particularly beneficial during the summer, when feedings are more frequent and the total amount of food used in a day can increase.

Spirulina and natural pigments to complement the coloring of Koi

Mizuki Summer's recipe contains algae that naturally provide pigments, notably spirulina . These ingredients are particularly valued in Koi diets to support the expression and maintenance of their colors.

Combined with a balanced diet and good husbandry practices, these natural pigments help to support more intense and well-defined colors . This effect is particularly beneficial during the summer, a period when the growth, activity, and overall expression of fish are often more pronounced.

However, coloration doesn't depend solely on diet: genetics, water quality, light exposure, and the fish's overall health also play a role. Mizuki Summer provides a suitable nutritional base to naturally support the potential of each Koi.

A high vitamin C content to support the vitality of Koi

Mizuki Summer also provides a high level of vitamin C , integrated into a complete diet designed to support fish during a particularly active time of year. Vitamin C contributes to the normal functioning of the body and helps maintain the overall health of Koi.

The combination of proteins, fats, minerals, vitamins, and ingredients derived from algae provides a balanced diet that goes beyond just growth. The goal is to support the fish holistically, with a diet adapted to their summer rhythm and sufficiently complete for daily use.

Mizuki Summer: a diet suitable for all types of Koi ponds

Mizuki Summer can be used in various types of ponds housing Koi , whether it is a classic garden pond, a heavily filtered installation or a pond specifically dedicated to the breeding and growth of Japanese carp.

Its rich and digestible formula is particularly suitable for ponds where the fish are active and regularly fed. As always, the amount fed should be adjusted according to the fish population, filtration system, temperature, and above all, the actual appetite of the Koi.

How to properly distribute Mizuki Summer to Koi?

It's best to start by distributing a small amount of pellets and immediately observe the fish's reaction. The ideal portion should be consumed within minutes, without leaving large quantities of food floating unnecessarily or scattered throughout the pond.

When Koi are particularly active, their daily ration can be divided into several small meals . This method is generally better than one large feeding, as it allows the fish to gradually enjoy the food throughout the day.

If any pellets remain uneaten, it is advisable to remove the excess. Food left in the water will eventually decompose and unnecessarily increase the pond's organic load. Therefore, the amount fed should always be adjusted to the fish's behavior rather than a fixed ration applied systematically.

When to feed Koi with Mizuki Summer during periods of intense heat?

When temperatures are high, it is best to avoid large feedings during the hottest part of the day . Morning and late afternoon are generally more suitable times for feeding, when pond conditions are more favorable.

In exceptionally hot weather, it's also important to monitor the water's oxygenation. The warmer the water, the less dissolved oxygen it can hold. A large feeding also leads to increased digestive activity and more waste for the biological system to process. Therefore, it's best to maintain reasonable feeding levels that are appropriate for the pond's conditions.

Mizuki Summer is designed for warmer periods and should not be used when the water becomes cold . As soon as the temperature drops significantly and the fish's activity slows down, a food more suited to cooler seasons should be used.

Composition of Mizuki Summer – Complete Food for Koi

Mizuki Summer's recipe combines selected animal and plant-based raw materials to meet the nutritional needs of Koi during their peak activity period. Its composition includes: fishmeal, cooked soybean meal, wheat flour, hulled broad beans, rapeseed meal, wheat, fish oil, rapeseed oil, and seaweed .

The presence of fishmeal and fish oil provides marine nutrients, while plant-based sources supplement the protein and energy content. Algae enrich the formula with their natural pigments, particularly those sought after to enhance the coloration of Koi.

Mizuki Summer 3 kg: a practical size for feeding Koi

The 3 kg bag offers a convenient size for ponds housing a few Koi or for owners who wish to regularly replenish their food supply during the summer season. It provides a sufficient quantity for regular feedings while avoiding the need to store a bulky bag for an extended period.

Once opened, the food must be stored in a dry place, away from heat and humidity . The bag must be carefully resealed after each use to best preserve the texture of the pellets, their nutritional qualities and their palatability.
