A Daily Diet Growth Booster Offering Heightened Lipid And Protein Levels with More Than 50% Natural Silkworm Pupae. A Natural Flavor & Taste Koi Love!

For centuries, Japan’s finest koi breeders have used silkworm to help their koi rapidly bulk up. While being an excellent addition to a food for its natural lipid and fatty acid levels, silkworm has always been extremely difficult to keep from oxidizing. Fortunately, the formulation experts at Hikari have developed a proprietary process that not only reduces oxidation but also allows an extreme level of silkworm to be included in Hikari Koi Silkworm Selects. Now your koi can experience the traditional Japanese body-building benefits of silkworm in a safe and beneficial treat!

FEEDING SUGGESTIONS

Regularly monitor your temperature and adjust feedings as required. Never over feed.

Above 68°F (20°C)

Silkworm Selects should comprise 20% to 40% of total amount fed and be mixed with the other Hikari koi diets. Using this mix, feed 2 to 4 times per day the amount your fish will consume within 5 minutes.

Below 68°F (20°C)

We strongly recommend using Silkworm Selects primarily as a treat comprising no more than 10% of the total amount fed. For colder temperatures we recommend Hikari Wheat-Germ.
