Product Information
Full details
NT Labs Medikoi Sturgeon Food is a premium, high-protein sinking pellet designed specifically for sturgeon and sterlets living in pond environments. It is ideal for pond owners who need a nutrient-dense diet to support steady growth and immune health in bottom-dwelling species, though users must be mindful that the food is highly attractive to surface fish, which may require careful feeding management to ensure the sturgeon get their share.

FAQs
Can koi eat this food?
While koi may consume it if they reach the bottom, it is specifically designed for the dietary needs of sturgeon and sterlets.
How often should I feed my sturgeon?
Feeding frequency depends on water temperature and fish activity levels; generally, feed in small amounts once or twice daily during warmer months.
Does this food affect water pH?
When fed in the correct amounts, it does not significantly alter water pH, but overfeeding can lead to organic waste buildup that impacts water quality.
Is this suitable for small sterlets?
The 8mm jumbo pellet is designed for larger fish. Ensure your fish are of an appropriate size to manage this pellet diameter.
What is the shelf life of the food?
To ensure maximum nutritional value, store in a dry, cool environment and use within the manufacturer's suggested timeframe typically found on the packaging.
Troubleshooting
Surface fish are stealing the sturgeon food.
Feed your surface fish their preferred food at one end of the pond first to divert their attention before adding the sturgeon pellets to the opposite end.
Uneaten pellets remain on the bottom.
You are likely overfeeding. Reduce the portion size until the fish consume all food within a few minutes.
Water appears slightly cloudy after feeding.
This may indicate overfeeding or a need for filter maintenance; reduce feeding amounts and check your biological filtration levels.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best results, store the 5kg bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the vitamins and oils. When introducing this food to your pond, do so gradually to allow your fish to adjust. Always monitor the pond after feeding; if food remains uneaten after 10-15 minutes, remove the excess to prevent water quality degradation. This food is compatible with standard pond filtration systems, but regular filter maintenance is encouraged, as any high-protein food can increase the load on your pond's biological filter if overfed.
