Nishikoi Sinking Food

Nishikoi Sinking Food

Sinking food for sterlet and other bottom-feeding pond fish

Nishikoi Sinking is intended for sturgeon, sterlet, tench and other bottom-feeding pond fish, with 42% protein. The sinking format helps deliver food below the surface. In a mixed pond, observe the intended fish receiving it and check that koi are not intercepting the whole ration.

Pack and food size options

Bag Size: 1.71kg, 760g; Pellet Size: Small. Select the required option for current price and availability. Match the food size to the smallest fish that needs to eat it.

Feeding guidance

The manufacturer’s published label gives three or four feeds a day when water exceeds 10°C or fish are actively seeking food, limited to an amount taken within five minutes. Feed only while the fish are actively taking food and follow the directions on the supplied pack. Start with small portions and remove leftovers.

Adjust the total daily amount to appetite and water conditions. Several small feeds should divide the ration rather than multiply it. Introduce changes gradually and monitor water quality when increasing food after a cooler period.

Watch the feeding area below the surface. A sinking pellet has only done its job if the intended fish receives it; do not keep adding food when you cannot tell whether the previous portion was eaten.

Nutritional information

Declared protein: 42%. Use the supplied pack for its full ingredients, analytical constituents and additive declaration.

Keeping food fresh

Close the container after feeding and store it in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Use a clean, dry scoop and prevent pond water entering the food. Follow the best-before date and choose a pack quantity that suits your normal feeding rate.
