Product Information
Full details
NT Labs Medikoi Sturgeon Food is an ideal choice for pond owners keeping sturgeon or sterlets, providing a highly digestible, nutrient-dense diet that promotes healthy growth and immune function. Its primary benefit is the specialized sinking pellet design that ensures bottom-feeders receive their nutrition directly without having to compete at the surface; however, owners must be diligent in feeding their surface fish first to ensure the sturgeon aren't out-competed for the pellets.

FAQs
Can Koi eat this food?
Yes, it is highly palatable to Koi and goldfish, though it is nutritionally optimized for the specific requirements of sturgeon.
How often should I feed my sturgeon?
Feed small amounts 1-2 times daily, ensuring all food is consumed within 5 minutes to prevent waste.
Does this food affect water clarity?
The food is highly digestible, which helps minimize waste, but overfeeding will always cause water quality issues.
Is the 4.5mm pellet size suitable for all sturgeon?
Yes, this size is versatile and suitable for a wide range of sturgeon and sterlet sizes.
What is the shelf life once opened?
For best results, use within 3-6 months and ensure the bag is resealed properly after every use to prevent moisture ingress.
Troubleshooting
Surface fish consistently eat all the sinking pellets.
Feed surface-dwelling fish a generous amount of their regular floating food at the opposite side of the pond before introducing the sinking pellets.
Pellets are not being consumed.
Check water temperature; sturgeon metabolism slows in cold weather. Reduce feeding amounts during winter months.
