NT Labs Medikoi Probiotic Growth - 3mm Pellet - 1.75kg
NT Labs Medikoi Probiotic Growth has been formulated over years of scientific research and develop...NT Labs Medikoi Probiotic Growth has been formulated over years of scientific research and development to bring you a professional diet to significantly improve the growth rate of champion Koi. The high growth formula uses the finest quality ingredients to promote vigorous food uptake and nutrient absorption. Combined with this the perfect protein to lipid ratio ensures maximum growth whilst maintaining the ideal body shape of champion Koi. The optimum balance of key ingredients ensures the lipids are used for energy so the 51% protein content can be used for healthy body tissue gain. Medikoi Probiotic Growth provides both the beneficial probiotic bacteria for Koi but it also contains a food for the beneficial bacteria too in the form of a prebiotic (fructo-oligosaccharide). This combination ensures a vigorous population of gut bacteria and digestive enzymes which over time results in a vastly improved ability to absorb nutrients, optimizes body mass gain and massively reduces waste. The inclusion of Spirulina, Astaxanthin and Capsanthin promotes vivid and intense colouration to the areas of red, yellows, black and blues without affecting the areas of white or ensuring a clear definition between where the white and coloured areas on the head and body meet. The colour definition is more greatly intensified as the white is made richer and deeper and appears cleaner.
NT Labs Medikoi Probiotic Growth is a professional-grade fish food specifically formulated for koi enthusiasts and breeders looking to achieve champion-level growth and body condition. By combining a 51% protein content with a precise protein-to-lipid ratio, this feed optimizes nutrient absorption and tissue development. While it provides exceptional results for growth and coloration, users should note that the high-protein formulation is intended for active fish during warmer months when metabolic rates are high.

FAQs
At what water temperature should I feed this product?
It is best used when water temperatures are consistently above 12-15°C to ensure the fish can metabolize the high-protein content efficiently.
Can I use this for younger fish?

Will this food affect the white areas of my Koi?
No, it is specifically formulated to intensify colors while keeping white areas clean, deep, and distinct.
What is the benefit of adding probiotics to fish food?
Probiotics improve the gut bacteria population, which enhances digestive enzymes and increases the efficiency of nutrient absorption.
Does this food help with body shape?
Yes, the precise protein-to-lipid ratio ensures fish gain healthy muscle mass rather than storing excess fat, helping them maintain an ideal champion shape.
How long will the 1.75kg bag last?
Usage depends on the number and size of your Koi, but always ensure the food is consumed within a reasonable timeframe to maintain ingredient potency.
Troubleshooting
Fish are not accepting the new food
Mix the new pellets with the previous food for the first week to allow the fish to transition to the taste and texture.
Water appears cloudy after feeding
Reduce the amount of feed per session; ensure your filtration system is functioning correctly and performing regular water changes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Feeding Schedule: Feed only when water temperatures are suitable for Koi metabolism. Avoid overfeeding to prevent uneaten pellets from accumulating in the pond bottom.
Storage: Keep the 1.75kg bag in a cool, dry, and dark location. Ensure the seal is tightly closed after every use to maintain the viability of the probiotics and the freshness of the ingredients.
Compatibility: This 3mm pellet is suitable for medium to large-sized Koi. It is a complete diet but can be supplemented with other Medikoi foods if seasonal or environmental changes require a shift in protein intake.
Transitioning: If switching from a standard diet, introduce the probiotic food gradually over a period of 5-7 days to allow the fish's digestive system to adjust.
