Kois also can eat certain live food, they like cockles, worms or prawns. Special live koi food is imported from Japan during all the year, this is very costly, but it can help to improve the health and color of the koi fishes. Sometimes brown bread is also used for feeding kois, but white bread can harm the fishes, so don’t feed it. Also avoid vegetables with hard outer casing, kois cannot digest this type of food. Try to feed a good balance of quality or homemade koi fish food for a maximum of health and beauty.
