KUSURI Kōlor: Intensive Colour Enhancing Koi Food

KUSURI Kōlor Koi Food for Deep Coloration

KUSURI Kōlor Koi Food delivers exceptional color results due to its carefully selected ingredients. Specifically, it features a 35.0% Crude Protein content. However, this is slightly lower than the dedicated growth food. This focused protein level supports health without promoting unwanted rapid growth. Therefore, this formulation ensures that the koi’s energy is directed towards pigment saturation rather than mass gain. Ultimately, the high concentration of natural colorants guarantees visible results within a few weeks of consistent feeding.

KUSURI Kōlor: Optimizing Pigment with Koi Food

The color-enhancing mechanism relies heavily on the quality and dosage of natural carotenoids. For instance, high-grade Spirulina provides Phycocyanin and Beta-Carotene. These compounds are actively metabolized and deposited in the koi’s chromatophores. Consequently, the red and orange patterns gain depth and clarity. Furthermore, Astaxanthin, a powerful carotenoid, helps maintain the contrast between the colored patterns and the white skin (Shiro). In essence, this results in a cleaner and more defined appearance.

KUSURI Kōlor Koi Food: Dosage and Strategy

You must only feed this Kōlor formula when water temperatures are consistently warm. This is crucial because color enhancers are most effective when the koi are highly active and metabolizing food quickly. For best results, replace your standard diet (such as the KUSURI Multi-Season Food) with the Kōlor formula for six to eight weeks during the height of summer.

If you require both intensive growth and color, then we recommend alternating daily feedings between this Kōlor diet and Growth Koi Food. This strategy prevents color loss while sustaining the developmental process. Remember to always feed small amounts that your koi can consume entirely within three minutes. You can purchase this powerful color formula in both 5kg and 15kg bags. To conclude, switch back to a maintenance diet immediately if the water temperature drops below 20°C.
