FAQs

How much food should I feed my fish?

Feed your fish the amount they can consume within a few minutes. Adjust the amount based on the number and size of your fish and the season.

Is this food suitable for all types of pond fish?

Yes, this food is suitable for all pond fish. It is specifically formulated for Koi, but it is also appropriate for other varieties.

How often should I feed my fish?

Feed your fish once or twice daily, depending on the season and fish activity. Reduce the frequency during colder months.

How should I store the fish food?

Store the fish food in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure the packaging is sealed to maintain freshness.

What should I do if my fish aren't eating the food?

Check the water temperature, as fish appetite decreases in cold water. Ensure the food is fresh and stored properly. Consider reducing the amount you are feeding.

Can I use this food with other pond products?

Yes, this food can be used in conjunction with other Pettex Aquatics products and is compatible with other pond products.

What are the benefits of the Orange Sticks?

The Orange Sticks enhance fish colour, promote health, and reduce waste buildup. They also encourage eager feeding.

How does this food help with water pollution?

The balanced formula helps avoid overfeeding, minimizing waste and ammonia buildup, thus reducing the risk of water pollution.

Troubleshooting

Cloudy water appears after feeding

Reduce the amount of food fed. Cloudy water often indicates overfeeding, which leads to excess waste.

Fish are not eating the food eagerly.

Check the water temperature, as fish appetite decreases in cold water. Ensure the food is within its expiration date and stored correctly.

Algae growth increases after feeding.

Reduce the amount of food fed. Excess nutrients can promote algae growth; improving filtration can also help.
