Kaytee Koi's Choice Premium Fish Food

This food seems better than a lot of the comparable pet fish foods, based on the list of ingredients. The price is better than most. This is actually being used in a small, shallow, overcrowded temporary seasonal "pond" to try helping underfed tadpoles mature before winter. Insufficient food supply can cause them to not mature as they normally would. Usually, these mature in about a month from the time eggs are laid. This year, it's been 3 months and most don't even have hind legs yet. If they don't mature and leave before it freezes or snows, they won't survive. (Last year, first snow was September 8 rather than the end of October.)

The floating pellets will sink if not eaten in several minutes, which is okay since tadpoles will eat them from the bottom as well as when floating. … more

This was one of the worse fish food I have ever bought. There is so much very fine meal in the bag I have had to sift it before feeding the fish. I'm not sure if it was the bottom of the barrel it came from but I am losing about 1/4 of the product due to sifting. Another thing some of the pellets are flat and jagged and I have been picking out those because I'm not sure if it will cut the fish when they eat them. I have bought from Chewy before and have been very satisfied, but this bag was not good.

Very inexpensive, but would call it damaged product. I feed some bluegills in our lake. The broken pellets are eaten as they sink while the “whole” pellets float and are attacked by the fish! They are like piranhas going after the floating pellets. Glad the pieces are eaten as well, otherwise a lot of food would be wasted.

Fast shipping. Great product. We love the 50 pound bags. Can't find this product in stores near us. Glad we finally found it on Chewy!!! Home delivery is fantastic and FREE...the turtles love it too.

I've been using Foster&Smith but need a larger order filled now, and Kaytee comes in 25 lbs bags for a good price. Well, you can tell right off, the pellets are smaller, which isn't the problem. As I was scooping out food and tossing it to them, there was a dust layer forming on the water. The product came out of the bag too dry and is lost on the fish, but is still part of the weight you're paying for.

I have ordered this koi food for years. This time it was definitely degraded. It seemed old and deteriorated. A lot of dust and food seemed dried out and crumbly. Perhaps it hadn’t been stored properly or for too long. Now I’m stuck with a lot of it. The koi are eating it at least.

The packages I received had lots of powder and broken pieces. Had to keep only the good pellets. What a waste!

Pellets are in a variety of odd shapes with small and larger pieces. My big fish love them, the smaller fish aew able to enjoy the food without having to crush or break them down.

Will buy it again. Arrived promptly. Well packaged and labeled.

The package arrived perfectly intact. No major damage to outer carton. What I received was a bag where there is an awful lot of powder instead of pellets. This is due to rough handling, starting from leaving the plant, until its arrival to me. I think better care along the chain is needed, but unlikely.
