At 11.5 mm, these floating pellets are sized to match the mouth of large koi over 20\" (50 cm), allowing efficient feeding in a single bite rather than multiple passes at a smaller pellet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFull-Sized Nutrition for Full-Sized Fish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeeding large koi on standard-size pellets means multiple small bites per pellet, less efficient for the fish and messier for the pond. Big Bites 11.5 mm delivers 36% crude protein in a single large floating pellet that mature koi can take in one motion, reducing surface agitation, feed waste, and uneaten pellet accumulation on the pond floor. Stabilised Vitamin C supports immune health and the formula won't cloud water regardless of pond size or fish count.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eNutrient \/ Spec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrude Protein (min.)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrude Fat (min.)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrude Fibre (max.)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMoisture (max.)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePellet Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFloating pellets\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePellet Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11.5 mm diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 lbs 12 oz (1.25 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSafe For\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLarge koi, mature pond fish over 50 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeed Big Bites when water temperatures are above 10°C (50°F). Feed 3 to 5 times per week, offering only what large koi can consume within 5 minutes. Because pellets are sized for large fish, avoid using in ponds where fish under 12\" (30 cm) make up a significant portion of the population, smaller fish cannot consume 11.5 mm pellets effectively. For mixed-size ponds, feed Big Bites separately from smaller pellets to avoid competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for mature koi ponds with fish over 20\" (50 cm), dedicated jumbo koi collections, and any pond where large fish are consistently leaving standard-size pellets behind uneaten.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Microbe-Lift","offers":[{"title":"16 lb","offer_id":50333411705151,"sku":"ML-MLLBBXL","price":116.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 lb","offer_id":52698811203903,"sku":"ML-MLLBBMD","price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8260\/9215\/files\/big-bites-large-front-081122-min.png?v=1741554938","url":"https:\/\/gardenpondusa.com\/products\/microbe-lift-2-lbs-12-oz-microbe-lift-big-bites-115-mm","provider":"Ponds Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
