🐟 A complete food for all pond fish
Ichi Food KIDO is Aquatic Science's reference daily food, designed to meet the needs of all the ornamental fish typically found in garden ponds, outdoor aquariums or aquaponic systems: goldfish, fantail goldfish, young koi carp, golden orfe, roach and other small cyprinids under 15 cm. Its balanced formula provides all the nutrients required for harmonious development: steady growth, vitality, vibrant colours and disease resistance. It is a true all-in-one quality food, perfectly suited both to beginners starting their first pond and to enthusiasts looking for a reliable, cost-effective base diet across the entire season.
💧 Floating pellets that protect water quality
Thanks to its 3 mm floating pellets, Ichi Food KIDO lets you watch your fish feed at the surface and accurately control the amount distributed, while preventing uneaten food from accumulating at the bottom of the pond. Its light, highly digestible formulation is one of its key strengths: unlike many entry-level foods, KIDO does not break down quickly and does not cloud the water, which limits the input of organic matter and helps preserve the biological balance of your pond or system. This also makes it an excellent choice for use in aquaponics, where water quality and a stable nitrogen cycle are essential to the health of both the fish and the plants.
🌡️ Usable all year round from 10 °C
Designed as an all-season food, Ichi Food KIDO can be fed as soon as the water temperature reaches a stable 9 to 10 °C, which means from early spring to late autumn in our climate. Its balanced composition of proteins, lipids and fibres covers the entire active period of the fish, whether you want to support growth recovery after winter, sustain peak summer activity, or build up energy reserves before overwintering. Below 9 °C, the fish's metabolism slows down significantly and you should either stop feeding or switch to a specific winter food based on wheat germ.
🌾 A formulation based on quality raw materials
The Ichi Food KIDO formula relies on a careful selection of raw materials: cooked soybean extraction meal, low-grade wheat flour, wheat, fish meal, rapeseed pressing meal, rapeseed oil, fish oil and monocalcium phosphate. This balance between vegetable and marine proteins, complemented by digestible lipid sources, delivers 28% crude protein — an ideal level for a daily, low-fat diet that supports growth without overloading the fish's liver. The fish and rapeseed oils provide the essential fatty acids needed for beautiful fins and vivid colours, while monocalcium phosphate contributes to strong bones and scales. This is precisely the outstanding value-for-money that has made KIDO so popular with both hobbyists and pond professionals.
🍽️ How to feed your fish properly
To get the most out of this food, feed several small meals throughout the day rather than one large ration. The golden rule: only give what the fish can eat in around 5 minutes. Any excess pellets should be removed from the pond to prevent them from breaking down and degrading water quality. During hot summer periods, you can occasionally complement Ichi Food KIDO with a richer food or specific treats (wheat germ, mealworms, spirulina) to add variety to the diet. Conversely, as soon as the water temperature drops sustainably below 10 °C in autumn, gradually reduce the rations before stopping winter feeding completely.
📦 Two pack sizes to fit your pond
This product comes in two formats. The 3.5 L bag (≃ 1 kg) is ideal for small garden ponds, outdoor aquariums, urban ornamental ponds, or for trying the food without committing to a large quantity. The 10 L bag (≃ 3 kg) offers the best price per kilo and is perfect for medium to large ponds, aquaponic production setups, or for owners who simply want to stock up for the entire season. Store the bag tightly closed, at room temperature, away from moisture and direct light to preserve the freshness and nutritional value of the pellets.
