Product Information
Full details
NT Labs Medikoi Sturgeon Food is a premium, high-protein sinking pellet designed for pond owners who keep Sturgeon, Sterlets, and other bottom-dwelling fish. This nutritionally balanced diet supports robust growth and immune system health through a dense profile of fish proteins and essential vitamins, though pond owners must take care to feed surface-dwelling fish separately to ensure their Sturgeon can feed undisturbed on the pond floor.

FAQs
Can I feed this to my Koi?
Yes, the formula is highly palatable and nutritionally safe for Koi, though it should be used in conjunction with their regular floating diet.
How often should I feed my Sturgeon?
Sturgeon require regular feeding, especially in warmer months. Observe your fish and feed only what they can consume in 5-10 minutes.
What is the protein content of this food?
This food contains 42% protein, which is specifically balanced for the growth needs of Sturgeon.
Will this food cloud the water?
When used in appropriate amounts, the high-digestibility ingredients are designed to minimize waste and keep water clear.
Can I use this in cold water?
Sturgeon have different metabolic needs; check the manufacturer's temperature guidelines, as fish metabolism slows down significantly in winter.
Are the pellets safe for small Sterlets?
The 4.5mm size is generally suitable, but ensure your fish are large enough to handle the pellet diameter before feeding.
Troubleshooting
Surface fish are eating all the food
Feed surface-dwelling fish their floating food at one end of the pond before scattering the sinking pellets in a separate area.
Pellets remain on the bottom
Reduce the quantity provided during the next feeding; the fish are likely full or the water temperature is too low for active feeding.
Water quality declining
Ensure you are not overfeeding; perform a partial water change and remove any visible uneaten pellets with a net.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Specifically formulated for the unique dietary needs of Sturgeon and Sterlets
- High protein content supports healthy, sustained growth
- Quickly sinks to prevent competition from surface-feeding fish
- Easy to digest, resulting in less biological waste in the pond
- Nutritionally complete with essential vitamins and minerals
Cons
- Requires careful management when mixed with surface-feeders
- Higher protein content may impact water chemistry if overfed
- Not intended as a primary diet for small fry without prior size consideration
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain water quality, always feed your fish only what they can consume within a few minutes. Because this is a high-protein feed, uneaten pellets left on the pond floor can contribute to increased nitrate levels; monitor your pond health regularly. Store the 10kg bag in a cool, dry place, sealed securely to prevent moisture or pests from compromising the integrity of the vitamins. If you are introducing this food for the first time, transition gradually to allow your fish to acclimate to the new nutritional profile.
