Product Information

Full details

NT Labs Medikoi Probiotic Growth Pellets are designed for serious koi hobbyists and competitive breeders looking to maximize the growth rate and structural integrity of their fish. This professional-grade feed delivers a high protein content balanced with beneficial prebiotics and probiotics to ensure optimal nutrient absorption and waste reduction. While these pellets are exceptional for growth, they should be used strategically during warmer months to prevent overfeeding or unnecessary water clouding in cooler temperatures.

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the probiotic additives?

Probiotics improve the gut health of your koi, allowing for better nutrient absorption and reduced metabolic waste.

Can I feed this to my koi in the winter?

It is not recommended. The high protein content is specifically for rapid growth during the warmer months. Use a lower protein winter feed when temperatures drop below 10°C.

Are these pellets suitable for small koi?

The 6mm pellet size is generally intended for medium-to-large sized koi. Smaller fish may struggle to swallow pellets of this size.

How long does a 5kg bag last?

Usage depends on the number and size of your fish, but as a high-growth food, it should be fed as part of a structured feeding program rather than as the sole source of nutrition throughout the entire year.

Does this food impact pond water quality?

Yes, positively. The high digestibility means that fish produce less waste, which in turn places less demand on your pond's biological filter.

Troubleshooting

Fish are not accepting the new pellets immediately

Mix the pellets with your previous food at a 25% ratio and gradually increase the percentage over two weeks.

Water appears cloudy after feeding

Reduce the quantity provided per feeding; ensure the pellets are consumed within 5 minutes.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Promotes rapid, healthy growth
  • Enhanced digestive health through probiotics
  • Reduces total waste output into the pond
  • Maintains ideal body shape for show koi
  • Scientifically researched formulation

Cons

  • High protein may be too rich for cold-water feeding
  • Requires proper storage to maintain probiotic efficacy
  • Premium price point compared to standard feeds

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the probiotics remain active, store the 5kg container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. The 6mm pellet size is ideal for larger koi. Ensure your pond filtration system is functioning correctly, as higher protein diets can lead to increased ammonia production if the biological filter is undersized or improperly maintained. When transitioning koi to this food, introduce it gradually over 7-10 days by mixing it with your previous food to avoid digestive distress.
