Product Information

Full details

NT Labs Medikoi Probiotic Wheatgerm with Garlic is designed for pond keepers looking to support their fish through the challenging seasonal transitions of late autumn, winter, and early spring. This premium floating diet provides essential nutrition with low-protein content to accommodate reduced metabolic rates, while the addition of garlic and probiotics strengthens immune defenses and gut health; however, it is specifically optimized for cooler water temperatures and may not provide the growth-focused protein levels needed for peak summer activity.

FAQs

When should I start using this food?

Start using this food during late autumn as temperatures begin to drop, and continue through the winter if the fish are still active, ending in early spring.

Can I use this food in the summer?

While not harmful, it is not optimized for high-growth summer periods; it is best to use a higher protein diet when water temperatures are consistently warm.

Does the garlic smell affect the pond water?

No, the garlic is integrated into the pellet and will not impart an odor to your pond water.

How do the probiotics help my fish?

The probiotics support a balanced gut flora, which aids in breaking down food more efficiently and strengthens the fish's natural immune system.

Is this safe for small fish?

Yes, the 3mm pellet size is generally appropriate for most pond fish sizes, though very small fry may struggle with the diameter.

Does this food prevent all parasites?

No, it is a dietary supplement that helps the fish's natural defenses. It does not replace the need for professional pond medication if a severe infestation occurs.

Troubleshooting

Fish are not eating the pellets

Ensure water temperature is within the range for feeding. If the temperature is very low, fish may have entered complete dormancy and do not require food.

Pellets are sinking before fish eat them

This is a floating food, so ensure the pellets are stored in a dry place to maintain their buoyancy. If they sink, they may be old or exposed to dampness.

Water appears cloudy after feeding

You are likely overfeeding. Only provide what the fish can consume within 5 minutes and remove any leftovers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports immune system function in cold weather
  • Contains natural parasite deterrents through garlic content
  • Improves digestion via probiotic and prebiotic blend
  • Reduces water pollution by minimizing fish waste
  • Specifically formulated for seasonal temperature drops

Cons

  • Not intended for high-growth summer feeding cycles
  • Higher price point compared to standard pond pellets
  • Requires proper storage to maintain probiotic viability

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure maximum effectiveness, store the 700g pack in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight. Exposure to heat and moisture can degrade the probiotic bacteria and the essential oils found in the garlic. When feeding, observe your fish for a few minutes; if they stop eating, remove any uneaten pellets immediately to keep the pond clean. This food is compatible with all varieties of pond fish, including koi and goldfish, during the specified cool-weather months. Always monitor your pond water parameters regularly, as seasonal changes can impact chemical stability regardless of the diet provided.
