FAQs

Can I use this food for goldfish as well as koi?

Yes, this formula is highly nutritious and suitable for both koi and goldfish.

How often should I feed my fish when the temperature is 65 degrees?

Between 60 and 70 degrees, you should feed your fish twice daily.

Is it safe to feed during winter?

You can feed once daily if the temperature is between 40 and 60 degrees. Stop all feeding if the water drops below 40 degrees.

What is the best way to maintain water quality when using this food?

Only provide as much as your fish can consume in five minutes and remove any uneaten food promptly.

Why is wheatgerm recommended for cooler climates?

Wheatgerm is highly digestible, which is crucial when fish metabolism slows down due to lower temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Fish are not eating the pellets

Check the water temperature. If the temperature is below 40 degrees, stop feeding immediately as metabolism has ceased.

Water appears cloudy after feeding

You are likely overfeeding. Ensure all excess food is removed after five minutes and reduce the portion size during the next feeding.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent digestibility for better water quality
  • Specially formulated for effective use in cooler climates
  • Supports long-term fish health and reproductive success
  • Trusted brand with a pedigree in professional breeding

Cons

  • Requires strict temperature-based feeding schedules
  • Non-consumed food must be manually removed to prevent spoilage
  • Specific feeding frequency adjustments are necessary for optimal results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For best results, store the 2kg package in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the nutrient content. When feeding, monitor your fish for exactly five minutes. If there is leftover food floating after this timeframe, net out the excess immediately to protect your pond's biological balance. This food is compatible with automated feeders, provided you calibrate the portion sizes based on the temperature guidelines.
