It takes a full ton of wheat-germ to get 100g of wheat-germ oil, an excellent source of vitamin E, linoleic acid and other essential nutrients. Wheat-germ oil has more vitamin E than other cereal oils and more of the vitamin E alpha component found essential for long-term health and vigor. Linoleic acid is a vital component in cell walls and provides necessary hormones to the body, among other know benefits.
For Show Quality Koi
To stabilize the physical condition while finishing the color in water temperatures between 68℉ and 77℉
During this stage the koi's metabolism rate is beginning to increase, therefore it is important to ensure a well-balanced diet that is easily digested yet provides ample nutrition to promote the color enhancement and luster development of the skin. Hikari Excel™ in combination with Hikari Wheat-Germ in a ratio of 7:3 is your answer. Feeding this mixture will stabilize the white color and result in gradual color enhancement with good gloss and luster beginning in the deepest layers of the Hi.
To maintain a stabilized physical condition and finish in the off-season in water temperatures below 68℉ but above 50℉
During this stage feed only Hikari Wheat-Germ. This easy to digest, highly nutritious diet will help maintain your koi's condition during the colder weather months and establish an excellent starting point for the next show season.
FEEDING SUGGESTIONS
When water temperature is consistently below 40 degrees, stop feeding. Once water temperature is consistently above 40 degrees, but below 60 degrees, feed once daily. If water temperature is consistently above 60 degrees but below 70 degrees, two times daily during the warmest part of the day. When water temperature is consistently above 70 degrees, feed two to four times daily. Warmer temperatures bring more activity which requires more food. Please do not exceed the amount your fish will eat within three to five minutes of feeding. Remove all remaining food after the feeding period to avoid over-feeding and the water quality problems which can result from this action. Note. During any appetite loss, after sickness or during medicating, your koi's eating habits may be significantly reduced, careful monitoring of the amount of food you feed is required to avoid problems.
