Provide your pond fish with reliable, high-quality nutrition without breaking the bank. Hikari Friend (Large Pellet) is formulated as a highly economical, daily maintenance diet designed specifically for mixed ponds, larger Koi, and other pond fish. If you have a heavily stocked pond or simply want a cost-effective everyday food from a world-renowned brand, Hikari Friend delivers well-balanced, fundamental nutrition.
Unlike cheap, filler-heavy pond foods that can quickly foul your water, Hikari Friend is crafted with advanced manufacturing techniques to ensure high digestibility. This means your jumbo fish get the energy and nutrients they need for healthy daily activity, while your pond water remains clean and clear.
Key Features & Benefits
Exceptional Value: Formulated to provide complete, basic nutrition at a highly affordable price point. It is the perfect bulk staple diet for large ponds, commercial setups, or hobbyists with heavy-feeding jumbo fish.
Enriched with Vitamin C: Packed with stabilized Vitamin C to naturally support your fish's immune system, helping them build resistance to stress and common pond diseases.
Cleaner, Clearer Water: Manufactured to be highly digestible and strictly formulated to never cloud your pond water. The floating pellets hold their shape well, allowing you to easily monitor feeding and scoop out any uneaten food.
Balanced Daily Nutrition: Contains all the essential proteins, vitamins, and minerals your Koi and pond fish require for healthy baseline growth and energy, without the use of artificial colors or aggressive color enhancers.
Large Pellet Size: Specifically designed for mature, jumbo Koi and large pond fish. These large floating pellets (approx. 8.0 mm – 9.0 mm) are ideal for fish measuring 12 inches (30 cm) or greater, ensuring they don't waste energy hunting for tiny morsels.

Between 50°F and 60°F (10°C – 15°C): Feed no more than 2 times daily. Monitor your fish closely and only feed during the warmest part of the day when they are active enough to digest their food.
Below 50°F (10°C): Stop feeding entirely, or transition to a highly digestible cold-water wheat-germ diet, as the digestive systems of Koi and pond fish largely shut down in cold water.

Maximize the growth and championship potential of your jumbo Koi with Saki-Hikari Balance (Large Pellet). Trusted by professional breeders across Japan, this highly advanced daily maintenance diet provides the exact ratio of premium proteins, carbohydrates, and amino acids required for steady, perfectly proportioned growth. It ensures your mature Koi pack on high-quality mass and muscle without developing unsightly, unhealthy fat deposits.
The secret to this professional-grade formula lies in the inclusion of the legendary Hikari-Germ™ probiotics. This specialized diet ensures your prized, large-scale Koi maintain optimal digestive health, pristine white skin (Shiroji), and a flawless, torpedo-shaped body throughout the peak feeding season, all while drastically improving the water quality of your pond.
Key Features & Benefits
Powered by Hikari-Germ™: Contains living, naturally occurring probiotics that multiply in the gut to outcompete bad bacteria and promote maximum nutrient absorption. Because your jumbo Koi digest their food more efficiently, they produce significantly less waste.
Cleaner, Clearer Water: The Hikari-Germ remains active in the fish waste, continuing to break it down even after it leaves the fish. This dramatically improves water clarity and eases the immense biological burden large Koi place on your pond's filtration system.
Championship Body Conformation: Free of heavy color enhancers that can sometimes muddy the pristine white (Shiroji) of your Koi. The Balance formula focuses purely on structural growth, helping your fish develop and maintain the classic, robust conformation required for show-class specimens.
Premium Staple Diet: Crafted with high-grade fish meal and a highly precise blend of essential vitamins and minerals, serving as the ultimate daily diet during the warmer months when your Koi's metabolism is highest.
Large Pellet Size: Specifically designed for mature, jumbo Koi. These large floating pellets (approx. 8.0 mm – 9.0 mm) are ideal for fish measuring 12 inches (30 cm) or greater. Larger pellets prevent giant Koi from expending excess energy chasing tiny food, maximizing their growth potential and reducing surface waste.

Feeding Guide
To maximize the growth and health benefits of Saki-Hikari Balance, adjust your feeding schedule based on your pond's water temperature and the activity level of your Koi:
Above 68°F (20°C): Feed 2 to 4 times daily. This is the optimal temperature range for digestion, allowing for maximum feeding and rapid growth.
Between 59°F and 68°F (15°C – 20°C): Feed 1 to 2 times daily. Monitor your fish's activity closely and only feed during the warmest part of the day.
Below 59°F (15°C): We recommend transitioning your Koi to a highly digestible cold-water diet, such as Saki-Hikari Multi Season, as their metabolism begins to naturally slow down.
Maximize the growth and championship potential of your jumbo Koi with Saki-Hikari Balance R (Large Pellet). Formulated as a professional-grade daily maintenance diet, this food provides the exact balance of premium proteins, carbohydrates, and amino acids required for steady, perfectly proportioned growth—ensuring your mature Koi pack on high-quality mass without developing unhealthy, unsightly fat deposits.
The advanced "R" series elevates everyday nutrition with the inclusion of the proprietary R-Extract—a powerful immunity-boosting blend designed to build outstanding resilience against stress and disease. Combined with the renowned Hikari-Germ™ probiotics, this large floating pellet ensures your prized, large-scale Koi maintain optimal digestive health, pristine white skin (Shiroji), and a flawless torpedo shape throughout the peak feeding season.
Key Features & Benefits
The "R-Extract" Immunity Boost: Supercharged with a unique, proprietary blend of beneficial yeast and bacterial extracts. This advanced additive actively supports your Koi’s natural immune system, building long-term resistance against pathogens and everyday environmental stress.
Powered by Hikari-Germ™: Contains living, naturally occurring probiotics that multiply in the gut to promote maximum nutrient absorption. Because your large Koi digest their food more efficiently, they produce significantly less waste, dramatically improving water quality and easing the burden on your filtration system.
Championship Body Conformation: Free of heavy color enhancers that can sometimes muddy the pristine white (Shiroji) of your Koi. The Balance formula focuses purely on structural growth, helping your fish develop and maintain the classic, robust body conformation required for show-class specimens.
Premium Staple Diet: Crafted with high-grade fish meal and a highly precise blend of essential vitamins and minerals, serving as the ultimate daily diet during the warmer months when your Koi's metabolism is highest.
Large Pellet Size: Specifically designed for mature, jumbo Koi. These large floating pellets (approx. 8.0 mm – 9.0 mm) are ideal for fish measuring 12 inches (30 cm) or greater. Larger pellets prevent giant Koi from expending excess energy chasing tiny food, reducing waste and surface skimming.
