Product Information
Full details
NT Labs Medikoi Sturgeon Food is an ideal nutritional solution for pond owners keeping sturgeon or sterlets who require a specialized, sinking diet to maintain optimal health. Packed with high-quality fish proteins, essential vitamins, and minerals, this formula promotes steady growth and robust immune function; however, users must manage feeding carefully to ensure surface-dwelling fish do not consume the pellets before they reach the bottom.

FAQs
Can I feed this to my Koi?
While it is not toxic to Koi, it is formulated specifically for the nutritional needs of sturgeon and sterlets. Koi should be fed a dedicated floating diet.
How often should I feed my sturgeon?
Feeding frequency depends on the water temperature. Sturgeon generally require regular small meals, but always monitor consumption to avoid overfeeding.
Does this food affect water clarity?
Because the pellets are highly digestible, they create less waste than lower-quality foods, which helps maintain clearer water.
Is this suitable for young sterlets?
Yes, the formulation provides the necessary vitamins and proteins for growth, but ensure the pellet size is appropriate for the size of your fish.
How should I store the 10kg bag?
Keep the bag tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the vitamin content.
Troubleshooting
Surface fish eat the pellets before they sink
Feed surface fish first at the opposite end of the pond to distract them while the pellets sink.
Food left over on the pond floor
Reduce the portion size provided during the next feeding session, as overfeeding leads to poor water quality.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This food is intended for sturgeon and sterlet species. While it is safe for the pond environment, it is not recommended as a primary diet for standard carp species. Always store the bag in a cool, dark, and dry location, preferably in an airtight container, to prevent moisture from degrading the nutrients or introducing mold. Ensure that you remove any uneaten food after 15-20 minutes to maintain optimal water quality. Regularly monitor your sturgeon's activity levels and adjust feeding quantities based on pond temperature and the season, as metabolic rates in these fish change significantly with the weather.
