Microbe-Lift High Growth & Energy 14 lbs 8 oz (MPN MLLHGEXL)

During the late spring and fall, when the temperatures rise and fall respectively, koi and goldfish require a protein-rich diet to support their growth and energy needs. These fish deplete their fat reserves during the winter and, therefore, need an added boost of protein to thrive. It is recommended to feed them with this special feed when the water temperature reaches a minimum of 68?F (20?C), as this is the optimal temperature for their growth. This feed can be given up to four times a day, with the amount ranging between 2% - 3% of the fishes' body weight per day. The protein-rich feed contains various ingredients, such as fish meal, whole wheat, dehulled soybean meal, alfalfa meal, corn gluten meal, wheat middlings, montmorillonite clay, and fish oil. These ingredients provide essential nutrients to the pond fish, promoting their overall health and well-being. Additionally, the pellets have a floating characteristic, with 70-80% of them remaining on the water's surface. While this may seem like a disadvantage, it actually benefits the less competitive fish in the pond, as they can easily access the sinking pellets that are left behind by others. This ensures that every fish receives adequate nutrition and improves their chances of thriving in the pond environment.
