Silkworm Selects™
An excellent treat rich in silkworm pupae, something Japanese koi farmers have used for centuries to add weight and improve luster and shine. This formulation offers more than 50% natural silk worm pupae in a proprietary blend that eliminates oxidation thereby eliminating the terrible smell and potential health issues silkworm foods are known for.
A Uniquely Balanced Treat For Koi
- Uses a centuries old traditional ingredient
- Proprietary process reduces chances of silkworm oxidation
- Adds weight rapidly while improving sheen and luster
- Heightened lipid and protein levels in a formulation koi will readily use
- A flavor even the most finicky koi will love
Regularly monitor your temperature and adjust feedings as required. Never over feed.
Above 68°F (20°C) - Silkworm Selects™ should comprise 20% to 40% of total amount fed and be mixed with the other Hikari® koi diets. Using this mix, feed two to four times per day the amount your fish will consume within five minutes.
Below 68°F (20°C) - We strongly recommend using Silkworm Selects™ primarily as a treat comprising no more than 10% of the total amount fed. For colder temperatures we recommend Hikari® Wheat-Germ.
Note: Silkworm Selects™ contains higher levels of natural ingredients which may cause a slight change in color from one production lot to another. Rest assured because of our rigid quality standards, each package meets our superior nutritional specifications.
