Fish Food for Koi and Goldfish

Choosing the right food for your koi and goldfish depends on their size, nutritional needs, and pond water temperature. Different formulas support growing fish, everyday feeding, and feeding during cooler weather.

EasyPro Platinum Koi & Goldfish Food is available in three formulas: Max Growth & Color, Max Color, and Cold Weather Food. Each contains stabilized vitamin C and brewers yeast, with floating pellets designed for easy feeding and monitoring.

Max Growth & Color and Max Color are formulated for feeding in warmer water, while Cold Weather Food provides a lower-protein, wheat-based option as temperatures drop. Available package sizes range from 20 oz. canisters to 33 lb. bulk bags, depending on the formula.
