When feeding Koi you need to make sure they are getting a balanced diet. There is a wide variety of Koi foods available. They are commonly found in stick, pellet and flake forms, with the stick variety being the type of food normally preferred for an average pond.

Food sticks tend to float initially and then sink as they soak up water. Good quality sticks will not break up too quickly and will therefore allow fish feeding at all levels in the pond to obtain a regular source of food. A good, balanced food will contain all the ingredients required for fish to grow and remain healthy. To supplement the dry foods add some fresh veggies.

Live Foods to Feed Your Koi
Tadpoles- The tadpoles of frogs, though not of toads, will be taken by Koi. You should not take frog spawn
from natural ponds. Apart from the fact that many frogs are now endangered, and thus protected, species, you could introduce unwanted parasites and disease organisms. If frogs should perchance enter you pond then so
be it, the Koi will eat the hatching youngsters; I would remove the frogs and place them in a natural environment. Frogs are not a problem to Koi and may actually be beneficial around a pond in taking insects that are not
wanted in the pond.

Shrimp- These are tiny crustaceans and are much relished and will help bring good color to your Koi.
So will many other small crustaceans.

Daphnia- These are long time favorites of aquarists and are essential for baby fry that are recently hatched. You can buy daphnia cultures and breed your own or simply buy them from pet shops.
