Product Information

Full details

NT Labs Medikoi Probiotic Wheatgerm with Garlic is a specialized floating food designed for pond fish keepers who need to maintain fish health during the challenging transition periods of late autumn, winter, and early spring. By combining high-quality ingredients with probiotic bacteria, prebiotics, and garlic, it supports digestion and immune function when fish metabolism slows down significantly. While this low-protein formula is excellent for cold-water survival, it is specifically optimized for cooler temperatures and may not provide the growth-focused nutrition required for peak summer development.

FAQs

At what temperature should I start using this food?

It is ideal for use in late autumn, winter, and early spring when water temperatures drop and fish metabolism slows down.

Can I use this food during the summer?

While safe to feed, it is a low-protein diet designed for maintenance and health, not for the rapid growth and high energy needs of summer.

How does the garlic help my fish?

Garlic stimulates the appetite and contains sulfur-rich compounds that act as a natural deterrent against skin parasites like flukes and lice.

What is the benefit of the probiotics?

Probiotics ensure a healthy population of gut bacteria, aiding in the efficient breakdown of nutrients even when the fish's digestive system is less active.

Are the pellets suitable for small goldfish?

The pellets are 6mm in size, which is generally better suited for larger pond fish and mature Koi; very small fish may struggle to consume them.

Troubleshooting

Fish are not eating the pellets

Ensure water temperatures are within the range where fish still feed; if the water is too cold, fish will naturally enter dormancy and ignore food.

Pellets are sinking before being eaten

Check the bag seal to ensure no moisture has entered, as dampness can affect the buoyancy of the floating pellets.

Excessive waste or cloudy water

Reduce the frequency and quantity of feeding, as fish require much less energy in cold water than during the summer.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports healthy digestion during slow-metabolism periods
  • Garlic acts as a natural appetite stimulant and parasite deterrent
  • Floating pellets prevent excess food from rotting on the pond floor
  • Reduces nitrogenous waste, leading to cleaner pond water
  • High-quality ingredients ensure easy metabolization

Cons

  • Not suitable for high-growth requirements during summer months
  • Requires careful storage to maintain the viability of probiotics
  • Higher price point than standard wheatgerm foods

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, store the bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the probiotic cultures. When feeding, observe how much your fish consume; since metabolism is slow, offer only what the fish can eat within a few minutes to prevent any uneaten food from floating. If you are transitioning from a summer diet, slowly introduce the Medikoi Probiotic Wheatgerm as water temperatures consistently drop below 10-12 degrees Celsius. This product is compatible with all pond fish species, including Koi and Goldfish, provided the 6mm pellet size is appropriate for the size of your fish.
