Microbe-Lift Wheat Germ 14 lbs 8 oz (MPN MLLWGXL)

During the colder seasons of spring and fall, when the nighttime temperature falls below 55°F but remains above 42°F, it is recommended to provide fish with the Cold Weather Wheat Germ Fish Food. This particular formula is designed to cater to the fish's needs during colder temperatures, as they require a diet that is easily digested in cool water. The product contains lesser amounts of protein compared to regular fish food and is enriched with wheat germ, which aids in digestion. Additionally, the formula includes a higher level of fats to help prepare the fish for the approaching winter. The Cold Weather Wheat Germ Fish Food is available in pellet form, with a size ranging between 0.3 and 0.5 cm. It undergoes a guaranteed analysis, which reveals that it contains a minimum of 32% crude protein and a minimum of 7% crude fat. The formula also contains a maximum of 5% crude fiber, 8% moisture, and 8% ash. Moreover, it consists of 1.3% phosphorus and 7 mg/kg of copper. To preserve the product, it includes ingredients such as Ethoxyquin and Astaxanthin, which act as preservatives and colorants, respectively. The formula is enriched with various nutrients and supplements, including Vitamins E, D3, B12, and A, as well as minerals like manganese, cobalt, and selenium. The floating nature of the Cold Weather Wheat Germ Fish Food is a crucial characteristic for inspection. To pass inspection, the pellets must have a floating rate of 70-80%. Although some may view sinking pellets as undesirable, they actually serve a purpose. In a pond, not all fish can compete equally, and there will always be individuals that struggle to obtain food. Therefore, the sinking pellets provide an opportunity for these fish to benefit from the food and ensure their nutrition needs are met.
