JPD Koi Food

JPD (Japan Pet Design) is a trusted Japanese name in koi health, producing show-grade diets used by leading breeders. Each formula starts with super-premium fish meal and krill, then targets a specific job — color, growth, immunity or everyday staple feeding. Compare AkaFuji, Shori, Shogun, Fujizakura and Yamato below in floating and sinking pellets.

Which JPD formula should you choose? AkaFuji and color diets concentrate carotenoids for deep hi (red) and sumi development on show koi. Shori and Shogun are growth-and-immunity formulas built on super-premium fish meal for fast, healthy size. Fujizakura and Yamato serve as everyday staples that keep water clean thanks to high digestibility and low ash. Match the formula to your koi's stage: growth diets for tosai and nisai, color or finishing diets ahead of show season, and staples for year-round feeding above 60°F.
