Product Information
Full details
NT Labs Medikoi Growth is a premium, high-protein fish food designed for koi and pond fish enthusiasts looking to achieve rapid, healthy growth while maintaining clear, low-pollution water. By utilizing high-quality fishmeal and a calculated 7.3% fish oil content, it ensures fish utilize the protein for development rather than energy, though it performs best when rotated with other specialized formulas rather than used as a sole food source.

FAQs
Can I feed this to my fish all year round?
Medikoi Growth is best suited for warmer months when fish are most active and growth rates are at their highest. It should be part of a balanced program rather than a year-round exclusive diet.
What is the protein percentage in this food?
NT Labs Medikoi Growth contains 40% protein.
Will this make my pond water dirty?
No, it is formulated for high digestibility to minimize waste, provided that you do not overfeed the fish.
Can I mix this with other fish foods?
Yes, it is highly recommended to feed this in conjunction with Medikoi Health and Medikoi Staple for a complete nutritional balance.
What does the 6mm size mean?
6mm refers to the diameter of the pellet, which is optimized for medium to large-sized pond fish and koi.
Does it contain natural color enhancers?
The food contains essential nutrients and vitamins that support natural colors, though for maximum enhancement, it is best rotated with Medikoi Staple.
Troubleshooting
Fish are not eating the pellets
Ensure the water temperature is within the range for active feeding. If the fish are new, they may require time to adjust to a new pellet type.
Cloudy water after feeding
This is likely a sign of overfeeding. Reduce the amount of food provided at each session to ensure all pellets are eaten immediately.

Storage Instructions:
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Keep the bag sealed tightly after every use to preserve vitamin potency.
- Ensure the product is used within a reasonable timeframe to maintain the freshness of the fish oils.
Feeding Frequency:
- Feed only what the fish will consume in 3-5 minutes.
- Do not overfeed, as excess food will settle at the bottom and decay, potentially affecting water chemistry.
