If you are keeping mostly Gosanke, ie. Kohaku, Sanke & Showa....Spirulina is a must. However, too much of it will also cause the white to turn yellowish. As for the others, ie. Shiro, yamabuki, any colour koi other than red.....they may cause red pigment. Having said that, it all depends on the quality of the Koi as well.
As a guide, normally others will mix about 10-20% of colour food with wheat germs. I mix 50% at the moment as I'm pumping them up, so that my Koi will not loose it's colour or over-stretched as it grows too fast. The down side is most of their Shiroji is turning yellow. Will stop it soon and feed only wheat germs for the next few months for it to recover.
Hope this info helps. Cheers!!
