Great product fast shipment

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great product
*by R***D on October 3, 2025*

my koi love this food

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Sinking Food
*by N***O on April 23, 2024*

Our adult koi had babies (fry) the summer of 2023. We began feeding the fry this same food by Hikari but in micro size due to it being a sinking food. Once they became 3 months old we began purchasing this food. They appear to really like it and it actually sinks to the bottom of the pond. I will continue to purchase until the babies go to their new home or if we get more fry this summer.
