Achieve championship conformation and robust health with Saki-Hikari Balance R Sinking. Designed as an elite daily maintenance diet, this formulation provides the exact ratio of proteins, carbohydrates, and amino acids your Koi need for steady, perfectly proportioned growth without accumulating unhealthy fat deposits.
This specific sinking pellet formulation is a game-changer for ponds with mixed varieties, timid fish, or heavy surface currents. It allows bottom-feeding and shy Koi to feed comfortably without competing with aggressive surface feeders. Furthermore, the inclusion of the revolutionary R-Extract and Hikari-Germ™ probiotics ensures your prized fish build incredible immune resilience while keeping your pond water crystal clear.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Sinking Pellet Formulation: Perfect for shy or easily startled Koi that hesitate to feed at the surface. Sinking pellets are also highly recommended for cold-weather feeding when fish naturally prefer to stay near the bottom, and for reducing the risk of sunburn on scaleless (Doitsu) varieties.
-
The "R-Extract" Immunity Boost: Supercharged with a proprietary blend of beneficial yeast and bacterial extracts. This unique additive actively supports your Koi’s natural immune system, building resistance against pathogens and everyday stress.
-
Powered by Hikari-Germ™: Contains living, naturally occurring probiotics that multiply in the gut to promote maximum nutrient absorption. Because the fish digest more of the food, they produce significantly less waste, dramatically improving water quality and filter efficiency.
-
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 packing on high-quality mass and maintaining the classic, torpedo-shaped body required for show-class fish.
-
Complete Daily Nutrition: Crafted with premium-grade fish meal and a highly precise blend of vitamins and minerals to serve as the ultimate staple diet for your pond during the warmer months.

Feeding Guide
To maximize the benefits of Saki-Hikari Balance R, 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 and rapid growth.
-
Between 59°F and 68°F (15°C – 20°C): Feed 1 to 2 times daily. Monitor your fish's activity and only feed during the warmest part of the day.
-
Below 59°F (15°C): We recommend transitioning to a highly digestible cold-water diet, such as Saki-Hikari Multi Season R, as the Koi's metabolism begins to slow down.
