Tetra Pond Growth Foodsticks for Koi

During periods of warmer weather, koi and other fish are more active and have a greater capacity to grow. In order to fulfil this increased growth potential, and to maintain the higher turnover of body tissues, they benefit from a higher protein level in their diet.

However, it is essential that this protein level is in balance with the fat content of the diet, in order to allow maximum protein use and minimal waste production.

Tetra Growth Sticks offer fish the extra protein that is needed, in a well balanced and complete diet, which will ensure that your fish reach their full potential during the warmer months of the year.

How it Works

Fish use protein for all sorts of bodily processes, including growth, the immune system, hormone production, reproduction and so on. In addition protein is used for energy. However, when protein is used for energy, ammonia is produced.

By keeping the extra protein in Tetra Growth Sticks balanced with alternative energy sources (principally fats), ammonia production is kept to an absolute minimum, allowing the maximum amount of protein to be used by the fish. This avoids problems associated with other poorly balanced growth foods, and helps to ensure that the pond environment is kept healthy.

How to Use

Feed TetraPond Growth Sticks 2-4 times a day, feeding only as much as the fish can consume within a few minutes. TetraPond Growth Sticks can be fed from April through to September, either exclusively or mixed in with TetraPond Koi Sticks or Floating Foodsticks.
