Hikari is one of the original and the one of the best Japanese koi foods available, with various formulae to provide a fully balance feeding regime throughout the year.

 Developed to reduce or eliminate many of the problems associated with keeping and breeding Koi, Sakai-Hikari is the worlds first and most advanced probiotic Koi diet. The result of many years of research, development and extensive experience with leading Japanese Nishikigoi breeders, Sakai-Hikari is now available to hobbyists worldwide.

The secret of Sakai Hikari.

All of the Sakai-Hikari diets include a beneficial living bacteria named the Hikari germ. This is a strain of Bacillus bacteria which proliferates in the Koi's intestine and brings many benefits. The result is extraordinary digestion, a consistent increased rate of growth, less pollution of the pond water and healthier Koi. The Hikari germ are also known as probiotics, the benefits of which are well documented in the human diet (e.g. Yoghurt and Yakult) as well as in livestock breeding and aquaculture.

The Hikari germ process.

The Hikari germ works in four stages. First when a diet containing the Hikari germ is fed, the bacteria breed in the intestine. Secondly the Hikari germ creates increased levels of digestive enzymes, which significantly improve the Koi's ability to digest the food, and thereby utilising more or the beneficial content of the food, and causing less solid waste. Thirdly, because the Hikari germ is probiotic, these friendly bacteria out compete any 'bad bacteria' present for a food source, and their population naturally decreases. Lastly, less waste produced in the digestive process means less pollution in the pond, and therefore better, more consistent water quality. Also the probiotic actions of the Hikari germ continue to be of benefit, even when expelled by the Koi and continue to help break down waste products and organic sludge in the pond.

The Four Formulae

Sakai Hikari is available as a Basic diet, a Colour diet, a Growth diet and a Multi season diet. All the diets contain the Hikari germ, wheat germ inner kernel, Spirulina and many important vitamins. Guaranteed analysis minimum 40% crude protein, between 6 and 9% crude fat, 1% crude fibre, 10% moisture and between 15 and 17% crude ash.

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 tern aids filter performance and helps keep water in a better condition. I addition your Koi will grow better and overall you will use less food. 

We are delighted to be able to offer two different types of Auto feeder, one from Cloverleaf, and now one from Aqua  Forte.

The Cloverleaf range are exceptional value for money, and feature sophisticated computerised control with digital display that allows the koi keeper to give up to 8 feeds a day over any given 24 hour period , with full control over the exact amount being fed.  Three Models are available in the range holding between 3kg and 8kg of feed..

All models are supplied with a delivery chute , and a 24 hour electronic timer unit. These  Feeders are suitable for normal UK outdoor conditions - however like all electrical equipment, the mains transformer plug and electronic timer unit MUST be housed in a dry enclosure (these are IP55 rated). The units operate on low voltage, and the timer units are plugged into a transformer when in use. A 3 metre cable links the timer to the feeder as standard although this cable can simply be extended if desired.

The feeders are exceptionally easy to program and the timer unit features summer/winter daylight saving time as well as a 24 hour clock. Feeding can be set to OFF, ON or automatic mode.  Up to eight feeds per day can be programmed. Feeding rates can also be changed for each day of the week if desired, so that for example automatic feeds can be programmed for weekdays, but switched off for weekends when the koi keeper may prefer to manually feed their koi. The small feeders (CL1) will take up to 9mm pellets, whilst the medium and large feeders will handle pellet sizes up to 18mm.

All feeders also now come with a fixing bracket (shown below) enabling the units to be screwed down in a fixed position to decking or similar so that they can not easily be dislodged or overturned. A new angled shute (shown below right) replaces the feeding ring of the previous model

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.

Pure high-grade ultra fine powdered Montmorillonite Clay contains many naturally occurring minerals and in our Koi ponds provides many trace elements that Koi need and which is abundant in natural mud ponds.  Helps to remove solid waste from the water, improves skin quality, appetite and Koi health.  Can be added to food as well as to the pond water for maximum advantage and aids digestion when used directly with food.

Dose 30 - 50gm per 1000 gallons per week.  Cannot be overdosed
