FAQs
Can I feed this to goldfish as well as koi?

How often should I feed my fish?
During the summer, feed 2-3 times a day in small amounts. Reduce frequency as water temperatures drop.
Does this food affect pond water chemistry?

What is the primary protein source?
The formula uses a mix of fish meal and vegetable proteins like soya and maize gluten.
Is it safe to use this food all year round?

Does it contain natural color enhancers?
Yes, it contains Spirulina, which is a natural source known for supporting color vibrancy.
Troubleshooting
Fish are not eating the food
Check the water temperature; if it is too cold, the fish may be in a dormant state. Also, verify that the food has not been exposed to moisture.
Cloudy water after feeding
This is usually caused by overfeeding. Only provide what the fish can finish in five minutes and remove any leftovers immediately.
Sticks sinking too quickly
The sticks are designed to float, so if they sink rapidly, check the water surface for high agitation from pumps or fountains and consider turning these off briefly during feeding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Store this product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent nutrient degradation. Ensure the bag is sealed tightly after each use to keep the sticks crisp and palatable. This food is compatible with all pond fish, including goldfish and orfe. To maintain pond health, always scoop out any uneaten food after ten minutes to prevent it from decaying and impacting your biological filtration system. During colder months, monitor your fish's activity levels, as their metabolism will slow down significantly, requiring a reduction in feeding frequency.
