Customers say

Customers overwhelmingly praise this koi food for delivering dramatic improvements in fish health, color, and growth. Many report their koi have grown several inches with deeper reds and blacks and shinier scales. Reviewers consistently note the food doesn't cloud pond water and leaves minimal residue, maintaining clear, healthy environments. Customers highlight excellent value, often comparing it favorably to pricier brands, with long-term users expressing loyalty over decades. A few mention preferring larger pellet sizes, but most consider this food a trusted, reliable staple that produces visible, lasting results.

your package will arrive likely damaged

the product is decent, but you will spend a lot of time cleaning up the mess. I ordered 4 of these, which comes in 2 20lbs bag each. ALL the bag broke open and customer service will this on you and refuse replacement. They will play the musical chair game and hope you would eventually give up calling.

No, I do not recommend this product.

the worst packaging product

I regularly order this product from Petco. The products are good, but they have the worst packaging. The bag breaks during delivery by FedEx and gets returned. I placed 4 orders of Dr Foster Koi and goldfish food in the last couple months, All the koi bag broke, missing, or got returned to Petco. Customer service doesn't understand that 1 order of 40lbs koi food is 2 bags, and insisting the petco has fulfilled the correct quantity for the order when I only received 1 bag. They need to replace with plastic bag inside like other koi food brands.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Questions

1 - 5 of 5 Questions

Hi... what is the size of the pellets SM.Med or LG??

  1. Small



Dr. F&S koi food. Only the Staple variety states "does not cloud water." I assume that this does not apply to the other varieties

  1. JJTT, Thank you for your question. There are some Koi staple foods that will cloud the water and Drs. Foster & Smith Staple Diet Koi Food has specific ingredients that will not cloud the water. The Drs. Foster and Smith's brands of foods that are not the staple diet will contain similar ingredients and should not cloud the water either.



What is the shelf life for the Foster and Smith Koi Growth and Color food?

  1. Thank you for your inquiry. The DFS Koi Growth and Color Food has a shelf life of approximately a year.



Is this floating food

  1. Yes, although it can get water saturated



right size for goldfishes?

  1. If they are that size they will eat these. I have one that is much smaller and is not interested in them. But my 4-5 inchers are all over it.
