JPD Yamato is a high-quality colour food from Japan Pet Design for koi where colour intensity, skin lustre and a well-groomed appearance are paramount. The formulation is specifically designed to support red colour areas and contains natural astaxanthin and stabilised vitamin C.
Yamato is particularly suitable for koi keepers who want to specifically condition their fish during the warmer months. With active food intake, the nutrients contained can be well utilised and support the koi in their natural colour development.
The floating pellets maintain their shape in the water, allowing for good control of food intake. This enables better control of feeding, while unnecessary food residue and additional water pollution can be reduced.
JPD Yamato should primarily be used at stable water temperatures of around 15°C and above. In cool water, with significant temperature fluctuations or reduced appetite, a more easily digestible year-round or transitional feed is usually the better choice.

JPD Yamato should be used when Koi are actively feeding and the water temperature is stable. In this phase, the contained nutrients and colour components can be better utilised.
Only feed an amount that the koi can consume in a short period of time. When temperatures are dropping, water quality is poor, or feeding activity decreases, the amount of food should be reduced or changed to a more easily digestible food.
JPD Yamato is designed for colour development and conditioning, without focusing solely on rapid effects from feeding. The formulation supports Koi keepers in specifically promoting the colour, skin quality, and vitality of the fish during warmer periods.
The available pellet size and packaging size depend on the chosen product variant. Please check before ordering which variant best suits the size of your koi and your planned feeding strategy.
JPD Yamato is designed within the JPD range for colour intensity and skin quality. Depending on the season, water temperature, and feeding goal, a different JPD variety may be more suitable or can be used as a supplement.

Further feed types can be found in the category Feed.
JPD Yamato is intended for active feeding phases at a stable water temperature from approx. 15 °C. In cool water or if feeding activity declines, feeding should be adjusted.
Yamato should be fed deliberately and in a controlled manner. The amount of food should be appropriate for the size of the fish, feeding activity, water quality, and filter performance.
Feed only as much as the koi can consume in a short period. Uneaten pellets should be removed where possible to avoid creating unnecessary organic load in the pond.
Colour feed should always be used in conjunction with good water quality, adequate oxygen supply, and appropriately sized filter technology. Intensive feeding increases the demands on the filtration system.
Tips
Storage and water quality
JPD Yamato is exclusively intended as feed for Koi and suitable pond fish. Store the product in a dry, cool place, protected from direct sunlight.
If the fish display unusual behaviour, the water quality is poor, ammonium or nitrite levels are elevated, or temperatures fluctuate significantly, feeding should be reduced or temporarily adjusted.
Regularly check key water parameters such as ammonia, nitrite, pH, and oxygen levels, especially during heavy feeding in.
