EA Show and EA Health Koi food are a brand new concept in Koi food, as they are, as far as we are aware the first Koi foods developed which do not contain fish meal as a basic ingredient. Both formulae contains worms, crustacea and vegetation, which is after all a large part of the staple diet of Carp in the wild. The food has bee developed in conjunction with a British company, Dragon Feeds who specially culture polychaete worms as one of the main ingredients of the new food. Because EA Show and EA Health are more natural foods, they can be used all year round. Protein levels are up to 43% for EA Show and 36% for EA Health. The food contains Vegetable proteins, cereal, polychaete worms, crustacea, wheatgerm, vegetable oils, squid, seaweed, brewers yeast, honey and garlic. Trace elements and vitamins A5, D3, E, stabilised vitamin C, K Folic acid, Biotin and B1. Growth rates for this food are claimed to be spectacular, and scientific testing over a lengthy period certainly supports these claims. |

MediKoi Probiotic Food. This brand new probiotic and prebiotic food has a 38% protein content, and being probiotic can be fed all year round. Contains Krill, Spirulina, Astaxanthin and Stimune to boost the immune system. The probiotics ensure a healthy population of gut bacteria, so food is easily assimilated, waste is massively reduced and Koi can therefore absorb more of the nutrient value of the food at any temperature down to 5 deg C. Growth rates are therefore naturally enhanced. The prebiotic element is formed from fructo-oligosaccharides which is a non-digestible element that helps maintain the population of healthy gut bacteria at consistent levels. Spirulina and Astaxanthin improve colours. Medikoi probiotic food is undoubtedly one of the most advanced food formulae on the market today. (see definitions of Probiotics and prebiotics below)

Prebiotics
and Probiotics:
Prebiotics and probiotics can restore the balance of bacteria in the
digestive tract. Probiotics contain beneficial bacteria that can be found
naturally in various foods. When probiotics are consumed, these healthy
bacteria will migrate to the intestinal tract. Common strains include
Lactobacillis and Bifidobacterium families of bacteria. Prebiotics that feed the beneficial bacteria in the gut mostly come from carbohydrate fibres called oligosaccharides. These are not digested, so the oligosaccharides remain in the digestive tract and stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria. Sources of oligosaccharides include fruits, legumes, and whole grains. Fructo-oligosaccharides may be taken as a supplement or added to foods. Yogurt made with bifidobacteria contain oligosaccharides. Probiotics in the Diet: Probiotic bacteria like lactobacilli are naturally found in fermented foods like sauerkraut and yogurt. Some foods will have added probiotics as healthy nutritional ingredients, which will be evident on the label. |

Automatic Koi Feeders Automated fish feeders have been in use now for some time and have always proved useful where koi owners are on holiday or even just at work, then an Automatic Feeder is a must to ensure that your koi are fed little and often - i.e. the correct way, rather than feeding more heavily once or twice per day. This will substantially reduce waste produced by uneaten and poorly digested food. This in turn aids filter performance and helps keep water in a better condition. In addition your Koi will grow better and overall you will use less food.

Aqua
Forte Fish Feeder The Aqua forte fish feeder can be programmed to feed up to five times per day. It can hold up to 6 litres of Koi food with a pellet size of between 2mm and 10mm. It can feed up to 1.5kgs of food per day and can place the food in the pond at different places as it flicks, rather than drops the food into the pond. This enables the unit to place food at distances from 1.5 metres to 4 metres from the edge of the pond. However the unit will NOT spread food everywhere as it has a directional hopper to ensure the food ends up where you want it. Again fantastic value for money. |

FOK Japanese Fish Feeder The FOK Auto Feeder represents the very best of automatic feeders and have been in use around the world for over 20 years, always providing optimum results and added benefits for any Koi pond. The feeder is fabricated from ABS plastics and is manufactured to run on 110 volts. A transformer for 240 volts is supplied . The great thing about this feeder is that all service parts are available, from the motor, spare flicker blades and the timer/programmer. The remote programmable/timer will permit many possible different feeding schedules. It also features automatic, on and off modes without loss of timed feeds. The clock features Summer/Winter time adjustment, and 12 (am/pm) or 24 hour modes. The unit can administer up to 10 feeds per day with actual feeding times set from 1 minute upwards. The FOK delivers food in a random mode across the surface of the pond, with the use of a cleverly designed flicker system, so fish will not crowd round near the feeder when they know its feeding time. The FOK Auto Feeder holds approximately 4kg of food dependant on size of pellet and a visible window helps determine when a refill is required.

Izeki Super clean C Izeki Super clean C is a special mineral that has been developed to specifically improve water conditions. Its primary purpose is to prevent the formation of organic matter in the pond. A build up of organic matter reduces oxygen levels, and super clean C is designed to prevent this and keep oxygen levels high. It helps to reduce the levels of suspended solids by flocculating tiny particles of organic matter. It will also absorb calcium ions, so will help to reduce water hardness which in turn will improve the skin quality of Koi. The dosage varies with water hardness, but because Super clean C is a mineral, it cannot be overdosed
Dose 5 gms 1000 gallons per day in
soft water. |

Izeki Magic Powder Izeki magic powder is a mineral additive which is designed to be used with super clean C (above) and is designed specifically to improve white skin on Koi, increase their appetite, lower water hardness and improve a Kois resistance to disease. How does it achieve this? - Technically, magic powder aids the synthesis of proteins, improving food assimilation and it absorbs calcium ions. It also emits infrared light at a particular wavelength that helps create smaller water molecules - a condition known as 'water activation'. As a result water is able to hold more oxygen. Dose 5gm per thousand gallons weekly |
