NT Labs Medikoi Wheatgerm with Garlic Pellets can help protect your Fish from Parasites. Garlic is rich in sulphur containing compounds which give it it's characteristic smell. These compounds are known to have repellant properties. The volatile oils in garlic diffuse through the skin of the fish and into the mucus layer. Parasites which live in the mucus layer of the fish react to these compounds by swimming away from them. Fish are most vulnerable to parasitic attack when the water starts to warm up again in the spring and when new fish are introduced into the pond. In the cooler times of the year they should be fed Medikoi Wheatgerm with garlic. When rapid growth is not a priority, Medikoi Wheatgerm with Garlic can be fed throughout the year. It can be used to help stimulate the appetite if fish have been moved or "gone off their food" and will encourage them to feed again quickly.

Recommended: Feed in conjunction with Medikoi Health for optimum results.

Wheatgerm Foods - Feeding Guide

Feeding Your Fish
Many, many people only buy one kind of fish food and feed that to their fish all year round. However, this is not necessarily the best option for the fish or your pocket. Pond fish extract different nutrients from their food at a different temperature.

In the case of protein the uptake of this nutrient is limited during the cooler months and much higher during the hot summer temperatures. Foods have now been developed with this in mind and Wheatgerm foods which are low in protein but more easily digested, have been developed for Autumn, Winter and Spring feeding; whilst growth foods, which are high in protein are available for summer months. Below is a rough guide of what to feed and when.

How much to feed your fish
You should only feed your fish enough food to allow them to feed for five minutes. Any more will be wasted and end up as waste in the pond. If a fish is fed until it is full, 30% of fish food will come straight out as waste. The five minute feed can be given four or five times a day, at regular times during the day.
