Choosing Wheatgerm Koi Food
Wheatgerm is an ingredient, not a universal temperature rating. Manufacturer thresholds vary, and floating and sinking foods can have different nutrient declarations. Some 1 kg value packs also use different recipes from a brand’s bulk food. Check the supplied pack before transferring feeding advice between products.

Build a feeding routine around the pond
Measure water temperature in the pond. Begin with small portions and watch what is eaten before adding more. Reduce feeding when appetite falls or water quality deteriorates. Increase the ration gradually as conditions improve, particularly after a quiet winter period or a change to the filter.
Check that smaller or quieter fish receive food as well as the most active feeders. For sinking food, observe the area below the surface. Count any treats within the daily ration and remove uneaten food.
Pack size and freshness
Choose a quantity that can be used while fresh. A larger pack is useful only if it suits the feeding rate and can be stored correctly. Litres measure volume and kilograms measure weight; compare declared food weights where possible. Keep food sealed, cool and dry, use a dry scoop and follow the pack’s best-before date.
Common questions
Is all wheatgerm food suitable below 5°C?
Use the exact product’s lower limit. The word wheatgerm identifies an ingredient and does not establish a universal minimum temperature. Do not feed inactive fish simply because a food has winter positioning.
Are floating and sinking wheatgerm recipes identical?
They can differ substantially. AquaSource’s floating and sinking wheatgerm foods have different protein and fat declarations. Read the selected version’s product page.
Can I mix wheatgerm with the normal food?
A gradual change can help establish the new ration, but both foods must suit the water conditions. Follow any product-specific mixing directions and keep the total amount matched to appetite.
