Feeding Guidelines
Feeding amounts vary depending on water temperature, season, and koi activity level.
✓
Start with a measured cup or bowl for consistency.
✓
Feed that amount over approximately 10 minutes.
✓
Observe behavior and appetite before adjusting.
During peak summer feeding, koi may consume multiple measured portions per day. As temperatures cool in fall, gradually reduce feeding amounts to align with activity levels.
Two to three feedings per day are typical during active seasons. Legacy Sinking Koi Food has been tested for safe feeding in water temperatures down to 36°F*, allowing flexibility across seasonal transitions.
How to use Primary Diet Sinking in your feeding plan
- Use as your primary, year‑round diet for shy or bottom‑oriented koi
- Combine with floating pellets if you have a mix of bold and timid fish
- Transition gradually (over 7–10 days) when switching from another brand to allow koi and filtration to adjust.

Primary Diet Sinking Koi Food: all‑season koi food pellets for shy and bottom‑feeding koi
Complete Nutrition for Koi That Feed Below the Surface
Primary Diet Sinking koi food is an all‑natural, no‑filler koi food designed for koi that prefer to feed below the surface. Each pellet delivers highly digestible nutrition for growth, color, and clear water. Made without the cheap ingredients that cloud ponds and stress koi.
Whether your koi prefer to stay deeper in the pond or water temperatures have cooled, this sinking formula ensures they continue receiving dependable nutrition where they are most comfortable feeding.
Balanced Nutrition Beneath the Surface
Made with premium, digestible ingredients, Legacy Sinking Koi Food is formulated to:
• Support healthy growth and body development
• Encourage strong muscle tone
• Provide consistent year-round nutrition
• Promote efficient digestion
• Help maintain pond clarity by reducing excess waste
Why choose sinking pellets?
Sinking pellets are ideal when you have koi that are shy, bottom‑oriented, or easily outcompeted at the surface.
The pellets sink gradually, allowing koi to feed naturally without creating unnecessary clouding or surface disruption. This formula mirrors the nutritional foundation of our floating primary diet, offering the same targeted balance in a format designed specifically for lower-depth feeding behavior.

When to Use Kensen Sinking Pellets
Sinking Koi food is ideal for:
✓
Shy or bottom-feeding koi
✓
Ponds where surface competition is high
✓
Year-round feeding programs
Whether you care for a backyard collection or a pond of show-quality koi, Legacy Sinking Koi Food provides reliable daily nutrition wherever your koi choose to feed.
Why choose sinking pellets?
Sinking pellets are ideal when you have koi that are shy, bottom‑oriented, or easily outcompeted at the surface.
- Perfect for timid or bottom‑feeding koi that avoid the surface
- Helps reduce surface splashing and competition during feeding
- Pellets sink quickly to where shy koi feel secure
- Less risk of food being swept into skimmers compared with floating pellets.
If your koi hang lower in the water column—or if you prefer quieter, more relaxed feeding—Primary Diet Sinking gives them full nutrition where they are most comfortable.
Clean, science‑backed ingredient koi food (no fillers)
Primary Diet Sinking koi food is built around high‑quality, animal‑based protein sources, not inexpensive cereal fillers.
- Fish and herring meal for dense, species‑appropriate protein and muscle development
- Potato‑based carbohydrates/starch for digestible energy
- An exclusive blend of micronutrients (“Bioceuticals”) to support immune function, luster, and overall health
- No corn, no cheap plant fillers, and no artificial colors or flavor enhancers.
This approach keeps each pellet nutrient‑dense so koi can absorb what they need instead of producing excess waste.
