The right koi food for healthy diversity in the pond
Every pond is just as unique as its inhabitants. This is especially true for ornamental fish such as koi, which not only have a unique blaze of colour, but also special needs. Our Koi food supplements and the water additive KOI SAIKIN, are designed to support the health and vitality of your precious pond inhabitants and their habitat.
The pure food and supplements from algova can be used as sinking and floating food supplements. They also taste good to catfish, sturgeon, goldfish and even Water turtles very good. To optimally cover the needs of your pond inhabitants, you can use our Koi feed You can easily combine them with each other and create your own personalised mix. A varied and diverse diet has a positive effect on the general health and colourfulness of the fish.
Koi food with variety in shape and processing
When feeding ponds, you can choose from various forms of food with different benefits for the aquatic inhabitants. The most common include raw feed and pellets.
Raw feed retain their natural shape and structure. They are often extracted directly from their natural environment and processed using gentle methods in order to preserve the nutrients in the best possible way.
Pellets are another popular form that is characterised by easy handling and dosage. Gammarus and spirulina in particular are ingredients that are often pressed into pellet forms. Different sizes of koi food (6 mm and even 2.5 mm for very small fish) ensure that fish of all species, sizes and life spans can be fed.
How the Food for koi The way in which the food is dried affects not only its quality and nutrient density, but also its behaviour in the water and how it is absorbed by the animals. In the production of ornamental fish food, we at algova pay particular attention to the drying process and mainly use freeze-drying. In this way, the water is removed from the food, while the structure and nutrient density are retained and hardly changed. Another option is microwave drying, which is often used for some other Hermetia products or in the koi food wholesale trade. It is one of the heat processes and causes the feed to swell - similar to popcorn. This change in volume is not always beneficial as it alters the natural texture. By freeze-drying our Hermetia, they remain flat and dense. Valuable nutrients are preserved and guarantee the freshness and quality of our products.

High-quality koi food is not only good for the fish's stomach
The quality of the feed not only influences the health of the colourful fish themselves, but also the water quality in the pond. High-quality koi food leaves no unnecessary residues and therefore no possible contamination in the water. It is designed to provide the fish with important nutrients and is particularly well accepted and absorbed thanks to its natural flavour, and in healthy pond water, koi are more resistant to pathogens, often show more intense colours and have a good appetite. In addition, high-quality koi carp food can help them to cope better with heat waves and other climatic challenges.
Inferior food, on the other hand, dissolves quickly and releases nutrients that cannot be absorbed quickly enough by the fish. Especially if the koi food is sinking, these remain in the water as residues, promote algae growth and lead to a green disaster in the long term. A biological imbalance not only stresses the koi, but also jeopardises their health. They become more susceptible to disease as bacteria and parasites thrive in an unbalanced environment. In addition, the stress weakens their immune system and impairs both growth and colour development. Understandably, such situations are often a reason for this, Why koi jump out of the water.
Popular straight feeding stuffs for supplementary animal nutrition
With the large number of Koi food varietiesFrom specialised koi food for rearing to super exotic mixes and year-round food, you might think that only the most complicated can be the best. However, it is often the simplest things that can offer a lot to pond dwellers if they are offered in an appropriate quality. But What do koi like to eat best? The following delicacies are particularly popular and frequently included in the menu:
Gammarus Pellets are rich in natural proteins and fats, which are essential for the growth and energy supply of koi. They are particularly valued for their high carotenoid content, which enhances the natural colour intensity of the fish.
Spirulina pellets contain a wealth of vitamins and minerals and are known for their health-promoting properties. Spirulina supports the immune system and at the same time promotes vibrant colouring thanks to its natural pigments.
Freshwater shrimps provide an excellent source of highly digestible protein and are also rich in astaxanthin, another important colour enhancer that also provides antioxidant benefits.
Hermetia soldier fly larvae are an innovative ingredient in koi food that is not only rich in protein, but also contains important fatty acids for general vitality and well-being.
Red mosquito larvae are considered a natural food for koi and are ideal for a balanced diet that corresponds to the natural feeding habits of these fish.
Artemiaoften referred to as "primeval crayfish", are an excellent source of micronutrients in cube form and also serve as a stimulating food that stimulates the feeding behaviour of the koi.
In addition to the optimal nutrient supply with the right Koi food KOI SAIKIN revolutionises garden pond care. It was developed in co-operation with German koi breeders and promotes water quality without itself being a classic algae remover. As an additive in powder form, it is added to the water where it dissolves. It contains a combination of 15 billion aerobic water and lactic acid bacteria, 1.5 billion yeasts, as well as important prebiotics and enzymes. Sounds like a lot? It is, but we would like to explain to you how these numerous little helpers improve the quality of the water in a natural way - without any chemicals.
Aerobic and lactic acid bacteriaThese microorganisms are important for water purification by breaking down organic material and converting it into harmless substances. They help to maintain the ecological balance in the pond and promote its clarity.
YeastsBy helping to decompose organic waste, yeasts play an important role in the biodegradation process. Their activity supports the bacteria and improves the purification process.
Prebiotics and enzymesPrebiotics promote the growth and activity of healthy microorganisms in the pond, while enzymes catalyse specific chemical reactions that accelerate the breakdown of impurities.

Water care and fish food: keeping ponds and koi healthy and vital
KOI SAIKIN powder offers a high concentration of active ingredients that are more effective than liquid preparations. This means that even small quantities are sufficient to achieve significant improvements in water quality. With regular use, water parameters such as the pH value, nitrate and phosphate can be stabilised. Stress and susceptibility are reduced, while microbial communities are promoted that naturally control pathogenic organisms. Or to put it more simply: good microorganisms drive out harmful bacteria and ensure a healthier habitat for the koi.
KOI SAIKIN shows its strengths particularly in the transitional periods: In spring, it acts as a kind of biological detox treatment that frees the pond from the remnants of winter, revitalises the water and prepares it for the active season. In autumn, the additive helps to stabilise the water values and strengthen the ecological balance so that the pond inhabitants are well prepared for the cold months. The long-term benefits for you: a permanently healthy ecosystem and reduced maintenance effort. Once the water quality is stable, the only question is, how many koi you keep in the pond so that it does not get out of balance.
