Why choose Evolution Aqua Silkworm Pupae?

Dried silkworm pupae provide a concentrated natural source of protein and fat, with no added preservatives in the manufacturer’s formula. Choose this food when its colour enhancing, growth and treats purpose suits your fish, water temperature and feeding routine. In a mixed pond, watch how different fish respond during the first few feeds. Confident fish may dominate the surface, while shy fish may need the food spread over a wider area or offered alongside an appropriate sinking option. A sensible feeding routine supports steady condition and keeps the biological filter from being overwhelmed by sudden increases in waste.

Even a high-quality food will only perform properly when pond conditions are suitable. Warm-weather growth foods need strong oxygen levels and mature filtration. Cooler-weather foods should only be offered while fish remain active. Treats and supplementary foods should sit alongside a complete daily diet rather than replacing it. Sinking foods must be monitored carefully because uneaten pellets are more difficult to see once they reach the pond floor.

Feeding guidance

Feed as an occasional daily treat or up to around 30% of the total food volume. Do not use below 15°C. Soak in warm water for approximately 30 minutes before feeding to improve softness and digestibility. Begin with a conservative amount, wait for it to be eaten and add more only when the fish are clearly ready. Reduce feeding immediately if appetite drops, water becomes cloudy or ammonia or nitrite is detected. Water temperature should be checked in the pond itself, not estimated from the air temperature, because digestion follows the water conditions.

Regular observation at feeding time is one of the simplest ways to check fish health. Look for fish that hang back, spit food repeatedly, clamp their fins or behave differently from the rest of the group. Floating food makes this particularly easy, while sinking food should be offered in a clear, observable area. Store all opened food in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, moisture and pests, and reseal it after every use.
