Why not try some of the better pellets available to us carp anglers. My mate feeds his koi on our green Betaine and krill pellets. They look amazing and eat loads! I have never seen koi turn their nose up at them but I am no koi expert

What about someone like BP Milling cereal based pellets, their standard pellet you can get 40 25kg sacks for £590 plus £50 per pallet delivery, or lesser quantities at a slight bit more cost.

This is the route I would be looking at rather than carp fishing bait.

just put in a few 20lb normal carp and sell them as 50lb 3 years later to get the investment back

I'm filling my pond in this year and re-modelling the garden without a new pond though, I've had it 20 years but the cost for new equipment/updating doesn't come into the budget just re-doing the garden is about £12'000.00 for what I have planned.
I only have four fish left in the pond at the moment one Koi about 7/8lb in weight, one Crucian about 2lb, a Grassie around 10lb these are easy to re-home my mate will have them for his pond that he's building but then I have one Silure about mid double he's the problem nobody wants him as they're frightened it will eat their smaller Koi's, he ate all of my smaller ones hence the only few that remain in mine , a pound or less and he was nailing them.

If you can get him/her down to near Hastings on the South Coast I'll take him!
My large pond is certainly big enough with enough small fish that he'd have a great time. Most of the better carp are doubles+ so he probably wouldn't harm them for a good few years!

I think as posted earlier look at the ingredients in a good quality koi pellet and mimic that. I too when I lived in Austria tried to feed koi in a koi pond with boilie on many occasions , this included baitworks Atlantic heat , home made Pete b mix and a few other so called high quality baits , the koi would not even investigate the bait they just swam straight passed it , they obviously get accustomed to being fed at a certain time every day with a certain floating pellet. They probably associate anything that floats with being food , and will sample it.
Don't aller aqua the German outfit make a koi pellet .? They certainly make carp , sturgeon and trout pellets that are top notch and reasonably priced .
