Primary Diet Sinking: Full-Spectrum Nutrition Below the Surface
Not every koi feeds at the surface. Shy fish, bottom-oriented fish, and koi in ponds with heavy surface competition often miss out when floating pellets are the only option. Primary Diet Sinking solves that without compromising on what’s in the formula.
The nutritional foundation is identical to the Legacy Floating diet — herring meal as the primary protein source, algae-derived DHA, beta carotene for hi color development, and FOS prebiotics for gut flora balance and efficient digestion. The difference is format, not quality.
Pellets sink gradually, allowing koi to feed at the depth where they’re most comfortable. Less surface disruption, less competition, and less food swept into skimmers before it can be eaten.
Formulated for feeding down to 36°F, Primary Diet Sinking works as a true year-round diet without requiring a seasonal formula switch.
