Beni, Spirulina & Hype: The Colour Food Regimes

from The Koi Perspective Podcast · host Joe Mitchell

In this episode we tackle one of the most debated topics in koi keeping: colour enhancing food. Does feeding for colour actually work, or is it marketing hype? We cover when to feed colour food, the risks of overdoing it (yellowing shiroji, anyone?), how water temperature and timing factor in, and what the dealers and breeders actually do versus what they tell hobbyists.Use the Link to sign up to the next magazine: https://www.thekoiperspective.com/subscribeCode 'DAD20' for 20% off the first mag, or an annual subscription💡 This episode is proudly sponsored by OASE: https://oase.com📱 Follow us for more koi content:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/TheKoiPerspectiveFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheKoiPerspectiveTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the.koi.perspective🛍️ Explore our printed magazine and merchandise:Magazine: https://www.thekoiperspective.comShop: https://www.thekoiperspective.com/store🎧 Find us on Spotify and other podcasting apps:https://pod.link/1787901550#KoiPond #KoiFiltration #KoiKeeping #PondFiltration #Koi #KoiPondFilter #GardenPond #KoiHealth #ClearPondWater #KoiMasterclass #PondLife #KoiKeeper #FishPond #KoiPondBuild #TheKoiPerspective
