CrystalClear Staple Koi Food, Standard Pellet, 8.8 lb
The 8.8 lb bucket of CrystalClear Staple provides a full season of daily maintenance feeding for established koi ponds. The balanced formula keeps fish in consistent health and condition without the high waste output of growth-phase foods, reducing organic load in the water and easing the pressure on biological filtration during peak feeding months. Standard-sized pellets distribute evenly at the surface so smaller and less aggressive fish feed alongside dominant fish without competition.

Seasonal Feeding
Staple is digestible from 10°C (50°F) upward, making it a practical early-spring and late-fall food when high-protein growth formulas are too demanding for koi digestive systems. Feed once daily in spring and fall when temperatures are at the margins; increase to twice daily during the summer peak. Switch to a wheat germ cold-water formula or stop feeding when water drops below 10°C (50°F) in late fall.
Ideal for larger koi ponds from 2,000 to 5,000 gal (7,600 to 19,000 L) requiring a cost-effective, low-waste daily staple that covers the full growing season.
