Supplementing Your Koi Fish Diet

To ensure the best health of your fish you should supplement their regular food with a variety of live, frozen, and freeze dried foods.

Below are two main reasons why supplementing your fish’s diet is so important.

Nutrition
While a high quality commercial fish food offers the most complete balance available from one source, it is not really totally complete. While they are easy to use, they usually lack the nutrients that can be found in frozen or live fish.

Frozen, freeze dried, and live foods should be added to your staple food in order to provide your fish a truly balanced diet. Make sure you are providing vegetable based foods for your fish that are herbivores. Meat based foods will need to be given to your carnivores.

Variety
Like most people, most fish are not completely satisfied eating the same food each and every day. This is true even if your pond or aquarium is full of only one species of fish. In the wild fish eat a wide variety of foods to meet their nutritional needs.

You want to be able to give your fish an experience which is as close to their natural habitat as possible. You can improve the nutrition and quality of your fish’s lives by providing a variety of frozen, fresh, freeze dried, and staple foods.
