Pro Line Aqua Wheatgerm 15kg 3mm

Pro Line Aqua Wheatgerm Koi Food — 15kg, 3mm Pellets

A wheatgerm formula for early spring, autumn and cooler-season feeding

Pro Line Aqua Wheatgerm is a 3mm pellet food supplied in a single 15kg bag. The supplier identifies this exact combination as KF223 and positions the formula for the colder parts of the feeding season, especially early spring and autumn. It is a different recipe from Pro Line Aqua Growth and Top Color, with its own ingredients and nutritional declaration.

The bag weight and pellet diameter are fixed on this page: 15kg describes the net quantity of food, while 3mm describes the pellets. There is no separate size selector to complete. Choose the number of bags you require and check the displayed availability before ordering.

Choosing a food for changing pond conditions

The supplier recommends Wheatgerm when koi digestion and metabolism are slower in cooler conditions. That seasonal positioning is useful when reviewing a feeding routine as the pond moves into autumn or becomes more active in spring. Base the amount offered on the conditions in your own pond and the fish’s response, rather than continuing a summer ration because the calendar has changed.

Check the pond temperature and follow the instructions on the supplied bag. The supplier information reviewed for this formula does not give a numerical minimum feeding temperature, so use the current pack’s directions rather than borrowing a temperature limit from another food. If the fish are not taking food, do not add another portion simply because this is a cooler-season formula.

Exact pack and pellet details

Food	Pro Line Aqua Wheatgerm
Net bag weight	15kg
Pellet diameter	3mm
Supplier reference	KF223
Seasonal positioning	Early spring, autumn and cooler months

Check that the 3mm pellet suits the fish you intend to feed. A larger bag provides more food, not larger pellets. This distinction matters when comparing the range: our Pro Line Aqua Growth and Pro Line Aqua Top Color listings have their own bag and pellet choices.

Ingredients in the Wheatgerm formula

The UK supplier’s declared composition is fish meal, wheat, dehulled toasted soya meal, wheat germ, wheat gluten, fish oil, yeast, krill meal and antioxidants. Wheatgerm therefore describes a mixed formulation containing wheat germ; it does not mean that the bag contains wheat germ alone. The fish meal and krill meal are also relevant when comparing ingredient lists between foods.

Read the declaration on the bag you receive for the current recipe and feeding instructions. Keep the label until the food has been used, particularly if you decant part of the bag into another container. That retains the product identity, batch information and best-before guidance with the food.

Nutritional declaration

The supplier catalogue gives the following analysis for Wheatgerm specifically. These figures should not be substituted for the declarations of Growth, Top Color or the separate treats.

Protein	37%
Fat	6%
Dietary fibre	2.3%
Ash	9.2%
Moisture	7%
Carbohydrates	29%
Phosphorus	1.3%
Calcium	1.7%

The declared vitamins per kilogram are vitamin A at 25,100 IU, vitamin D3 at 2,480 IU, vitamin E at 200mg and vitamin C at 330mg. Compare these alongside the full ingredient list and the intended feeding season. A protein percentage by itself does not tell you whether a food is the right choice for the current pond conditions.

Offering and observing each meal

Offer a modest portion while the koi are actively feeding and stay to observe it. Check that smaller or less assertive fish can reach the food, rather than judging the whole pond by its most enthusiastic feeder. If food remains, remove it and reduce the next offering. Review feeding when appetite or water conditions change.

Use the amount actually eaten to guide the next meal within the pack’s instructions. The 15kg bag size is a purchasing quantity, not a feeding-rate recommendation. If several people feed the pond, agree a shared routine so that one person’s meal is not unknowingly followed by another.

Keeping a 15kg bag fresh

Consider how quickly your pond uses food before buying a large bag, particularly when seasonal feeding is reduced. Store it sealed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Use a clean, dry scoop and avoid introducing pond water into the bag. If a smaller container is more convenient beside the pond, keep it clean, dry and labelled, and close the main bag after refilling it.

Follow the supplied best-before and storage instructions. Treats are a separate choice from this pellet formula: our Black Soldier Fly larvae and Silkworm Pupae pages explain their different composition and preparation. Follow each food’s own guidance when planning a mixed feeding routine.
