This guide is for pond fish owners looking for a specialized maintenance food, especially during cooler months. The key benefit is supporting fish health and digestion when it's naturally slower, with a caveat that it's not intended for active growth periods. NT Labs Medikoi Wheatgerm with Garlic is a reduced-protein, easily digestible pellet food fortified with garlic to naturally deter parasites and stimulate appetite, promoting healthier fish year-round when growth is not the primary concern.

This food is ideal for use during cooler months (late autumn, winter, and early spring) when fish metabolism slows. It can also be used year-round for maintenance when active growth is not the priority.
It is suitable for most common pond fish like Koi and Goldfish. However, always observe your fish's specific needs and consult with an expert if you have unusual species or concerns.
Feed only what your fish can consume completely within 5-10 minutes, 1-3 times per day. Adjust the amount based on water temperature and fish activity.
While it can be used for maintenance, it is not formulated for optimal growth during warmer summer months. For growth, a higher protein food would be more appropriate.
The garlic is included in a safe concentration to deter parasites and stimulate appetite. It is not known to have negative side effects on pond fish when used as directed.
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and ensure the bag is sealed tightly to maintain freshness.
Ensure water temperature is within the suitable range for this food. The garlic content can act as an appetite stimulant; try feeding a small amount to entice them. Check for other environmental stressors.
Reduce the amount of food offered to ensure it is fully consumed within the recommended time. Overfeeding is a common cause of poor water quality. Ensure your filtration system is adequate.
While the garlic offers some deterrence, this food is a maintenance diet. For active infections, consider a specific medication. Consult a fish health professional if concerns persist.
Feeding Instructions:
Feed only as much as your fish can consume within 5-10 minutes. For best results, feed 1-3 times per day, depending on water temperature and fish activity. Reduce feeding as temperatures fall below 10°C (50°F).
Compatibility:
This food is suitable for most common pond fish species, including Koi and Goldfish, particularly when growth is not the primary objective. It is especially beneficial for fish that may be experiencing digestive sensitivities or require support against parasites.
Storage and Care:
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the packaging is sealed tightly after each use to maintain freshness and prevent moisture absorption. Do not store near chemicals or pesticides.
