3 days agoI’ve been buying from Kev for nearly 8 years now and have had well over 40 fish from him. The quality has always been outstanding, with exceptional development over time. EK is one of the few places where what you see is truly what you get - an honest, passionate business that genuinely cares.

10 months agoMost impressed with Exclusively Koi. Recieved a Columbo pond test kit from them which was sealed and very well wrapped. On opening the inner tray that holds the bottles was very damaged. They offered to replace kit straight away. Customer service second to none. Thank you.

1 year agoWe visited Exclusively koi for the first time today and I cannot praise Kevin enough. He has the highest customer service and is extremely personable and had time to talk to us and gave so much advice and information it was an absolute delight. He knows his subject and is driven by supplying the best quality not only in the fish but also in other stock items and food. The prices were excellent and he is very, very fair and customer oriented. His information was straightforward and honest and I highly recommend Exclusively koi to anyone. We will be going back and Kevin and the team will be our go-to for all our koi needs from now on.

1 year agoI came across Exclusively Koi by complete chance as i was looking up koi auctions online and I was lucky enough to find Kevin's fantastic koi up for auction. I took part in some of those auctions and was fortunate enough to win some beautiful koi, Kevin has been very helpful throughout the entire process and was happy to keep the koi for me a bit longer to suit my needs. The koi got shipped out on my chosen day and they arrived the next day very safely packaged with plenty of air. Each koi is even more beautiful in person and they're bigger than i expected which is a very pleasant surprise. The koi are currently dealing with some stress from the long journey here but Kevin is very quick to answer any of my questions and offer advice to help the koi get settled in. Very grateful for the great customer service and i can definitely see myself emptying my entire bank account at Exclusively Koi. I decided to attend the national Koi show today, I was pleasantly surprised to see exclusively koi had a stall at the show! Dare I say they had some of the nicest koi for sale but even more importantly the prices were extremely reasonable! If I had the room I would have easily bought several koi. Massive thanks to the team, keep up the good work

What water temperature should I feed Saki Hikari Growth sinking pellets?
Feed Saki Hikari Growth sinking koi food when your water temperature is above 20°C (68°F). This is when your koi are most active and their metabolism is running at full speed. Below that, switch to something like Saki Hikari Balance, which is designed to be digested at cooler temperatures.
What is the protein content of Saki Hikari Growth sinking koi food?
Saki Hikari Growth sinking pellets contain a minimum of 40% crude protein and 9% crude fat. That's a strong nutritional profile geared towards building body mass and form without the fat deposits you get from cheaper, lower-quality foods.
Why choose a sinking pellet over a floating one?
Some koi prefer to feed from the bottom of the pond, and a sinking pellet lets them do that naturally. Sinking pellets also work well in ponds with a lot of surface movement or wind, where floating food can get pushed into skimmers before the koi get to it. It comes down to how your koi feed and your pond setup.
What is Hikari-Germ and why does it matter?
Hikari-Germ is a live probiotic (a strain of Bacillus bacteria) that becomes active in the koi's gut. It helps break down food more efficiently, meaning your koi absorb more of the good stuff and produce less waste. Less waste means cleaner water and less filter maintenance. It's one of the things that sets the Saki Hikari range apart from standard koi foods.
Can I mix Saki Hikari Growth with other koi food brands?
Hikari recommend feeding it as an exclusive daily diet for the best results. The probiotic (Hikari-Germ) needs time to build up in the koi's intestine. If you keep mixing in other foods, you won't get the full benefit. Stick with it consistently and you'll see the difference.
Is Saki Hikari Growth sinking food good for young koi?
It's not something we generally advice. Sinking food is very dense and for younger fish this means that higher water temperature is required for them to be able to digest it properly.
How much Saki Hikari Growth sinking food should I feed my koi?
Feed what your koi will eat within a few minutes and remove anything that's left over. How much that is depends on your water temperature, how many fish you've got, and how active they are. In warmer months above 20°C, you can feed two to four times a day. Don't overfeed, it's one of the quickest ways to cause water quality problems.
Will Saki Hikari Growth sinking pellets affect my water quality?
Less than most foods, thanks to the Hikari-Germ probiotic. The bacteria keeps working even after it's been excreted, helping to break down waste in the pond. A lot of keepers notice their filters stay cleaner when they switch to the Saki Hikari range.
