Product Information
Full details
NT Labs Medikoi Sturgeon Food is a premium, sinking pellet diet specifically engineered for Sturgeon and Sterlets, though it remains a highly nutritious option for other bottom-feeding pond fish. It provides a balanced nutritional profile rich in high-quality fish proteins to support robust growth and immune system function. While the sinking design effectively targets bottom-dwellers, users must be mindful to manage feeding habits so surface-dwelling fish do not consume the food before it reaches the pond floor.

FAQs
Can I feed this to my regular Koi?
Yes, it is highly nutritious and safe for Koi, though it is specifically formulated to meet the higher protein requirements of Sturgeon.
How often should I feed my Sturgeon?
Feeding frequency depends on water temperature and the age of your fish. Generally, ensure they have access to food once or twice daily, provided the water temperature is sufficient for digestion.
What are the primary ingredients?
The food is formulated with high-quality fish meal, soya protein, and fish oils to provide a balanced 42% protein content.
Will this cloud the pond water?
If fed in the correct quantities, the food is highly digestible and should not negatively impact water clarity.
Is this food suitable for Sterlets?
Yes, the 4.5mm sinking pellets are suitable for both Sturgeon and Sterlets.
Troubleshooting
Food is being eaten by Koi before it reaches the bottom
Feed your Koi or surface-dwelling fish on one side of the pond first to distract them before dropping the Sturgeon pellets elsewhere.
Pellets are accumulating at the bottom of the pond
You are likely overfeeding. Reduce the portion size until the fish consume all the provided food within 3 to 5 minutes.
Pros and Cons

- Suitable for a wide range of pond fish

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal results, store the 5kg container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the fish oils and vitamins. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after every feeding session to prevent moisture absorption. This food is compatible with all standard pond filtration systems; however, you should always avoid overfeeding to prevent excess waste from accumulating at the bottom of the pond, which can impact water chemistry. Monitor your fish during feeding to ensure all food is consumed within a few minutes.
