The title says mini ( that should be reference to the pellet size) but the bag in the photo says large pellets. can someone please tell me which?

They sell various sizes. I have purchased the mini and it is indeed the correct size.

Says "mini" but picture is of "large". Which is true?

Since the description sayd mini I would go by what the seller says. I bought large bit it clearly said large

How large are these pellets?

I would say the BB pellets is a good size to compare them too. My cichlids are fairly large (say 6 to 8 inches long) but I like this size for them as they can grab a couple at a time if they like.

Is this product ok for goldfish / koi ? Previous owner used it solely .

Cichlid only. I suggest you get something else specifically for koi or goldfish.
