A three-way mix of our most popular koi foods, APG Mix eliminates any decision-making processes. Equal parts of staple, growth an show formulas, APG offers a convenient sample of the All-Season, Growth Plus and Premium koi foods, enabling koi keepers to satisfy the absolute widest array of their prized koi's needs.
ALL-SEASON is an excellent year-round source of easily assimilated marine and vegetable proteins, as well as vitamins C and E. Spirulina and shrimp meal give this formula both mild color enhancing property and a moderately high protein content, making it especially great for colder weather when koi's metabolism is less active. As with all other Dainichi koi foods, the addition of calcium montmorillonite clay and un-cooked digestive enzymes give ALL-SEASON an unmatched digestion rate. Enhanced with vitamins and minerals essential to healing skin blemishes and abrasions, ALL-SEASON will maintain your koi in their top form.
PREMIUM is an overall color, growth, and maintenance food. It can be used alone or in conjunction with other more specialized formulas like GROWTH PLUS or PRIMARY. PREMIUM combines a perfect balance of color and growth, and is an ideal food for keeping your koi in show quality condition. Featuring five sources of protein, of which spirulina, krill, and shrimp meal are also color enhancing, this formula is an all-time favorite with serious hobbyists and many top Japanese koi breeders. A two-step application of vitamins and minerals, especially vitamins C & E ensures that luster, sheen and white are at their best. The addition of calcium montmorillonite clay, garlic and fully active, un-cooked digestive enzymes, makes this formula virtually un-beatable in terms of digestion and performance.
GROWTH PLUS contains a unique blend of montmorillonite clay, white fish meal, krill, and shrimp . This formula provides your fish with a high amount of marine protein which promotes both rapid growth and color enrichment. GROWTH PLUS also features an appetite-enhancing nutritional coating containing calcium montmorillonite clay and un-cooked digestive enzymes which facilitate the highest degree of digestibility. Growth Plus will not foul the filter or water. It is suggested for use during the warmer or high growth months.
Usage: In temperatures of 60°F and above, feed fish as much as they will eat in 5-10 minutes, 2 or more times daily.
