Ecological Labs Koi Legacy High Growth and Energy Fish Food

Ecological Labs Koi Legacy High Growth and Energy Fish Food

Assessment:

One aquacultural protein in the top four ingredients, but Krill Meal further down, so there’s that. And only one split ingredient (wheat). Spirulina and other color enhancers. Probiotics. Unable to tell if cooked. This diet is pretty close to the formulation of the Staple from Microbe Lift.

I prefer more aquacultural protein and less plant sources but that’s biased. I’d feed this diet if it was at a good price, perhaps in larger than one pound containers.
