Just wondering if its possible to feed an aro with high protein koi pellets. I am in the process of ordering food online and noticed the nutritional values on the koi pellets are very similar to or even better than the hikari floating carnivore sticks I currently use. If not, is there another kind of pellet that is available in large quantities at an affordable cost? I was looking for NLS but it is way more expensive than koi pellets if they are good to use.

Koi are cold-water carps. It's been my impression that Koi don't normally need the same type of fish food that tropical fish (in particular Arowana) need. In addition, the protein content in fish food can be derived from a number of sources such as fish, red meat, chicken, grain, soy beans, yeast, etc. My understanding is that while all of these can be counted as protein on the package, they are not all equally digestible.

I'd suggest posting the ingredients and maybe getting more input.
